The Port is a vibrant economic engine, driving job creation with good wages, improving quality of life and providing substantial state and local tax revenues. At the same time, we are driven by our social responsibility to the community to ensure these economic benefits don’t come at the expense of the environment. We recognize that we have a responsibility as an environmental steward of the harbor – without this harbor, there would be no port. As such, we strive to balance our economic development goals with our goals for environmental enhancement. Together with our tenants at The Port Authority marine terminal facilities in New York and New Jersey we are committed to continually evaluate and improve the total environmental effect of our operations and activities at the port. This commitment is reflected in the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey /Port Commerce Department Environmental Policy.
