POLA receives EPA climate leadership award

The Port of Los Angeles received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's inaugural Climate Leadership Award, which honors businesses and organizations that demonstrate outstanding leadership in response to climate change, according to a port statement issued Wednesday.

"The Port of Los Angeles has worked hard to establish itself as an international leader in port-related greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts," said Port Executive Director Geraldine Katz, Ph.D. "We're proud that many of our programs now serve as models for other ports around the world."

The award was in the category of Supply Chain Leadership, citing POLA’s greenhouse gas reduction goals, its tracking and GHG inventories, and its leadership and management of these emissions.
