Port of Rotterdam puts sustainability on top of its agenda

Port of Rotterdam announced that it has become member of the WBCSD, being the first port to join this global network which aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. WBCSD is uniquely positioned to work with member companies along and across value chains to deliver high-impact business solutions to the most challenging sustainability issues.
