Explore the initiatives driving our sustainability journey across our global port network — from environmental innovation to community partnerships and responsible operations.
In September 2026, Global Ports Holding once again brought together its global network for International Coastal Cleanup Day, uniting its cruise ports under the theme "From Port to Port, It’s in Our Hands." Across its port network, GPH joined forces with over 350 employees, local communities, and 32 partners for 30 hours of coordinated cleanup activities. Together, teams collected approximately 11 tons of waste from beaches, shorelines, and surrounding coastal areas. In addition to removing debris, participants gathered data to support marine pollution research, integrating this year’s findings into GPH’s sustainability strategy and reporting. The effort demonstrated GPH’s commitment to turning its global reach into meaningful local action, reinforcing its core pillars to minimize environmental impact, empower local communities, and advance responsible growth.
Global Ports Holding launched the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower programme across 35 cruise ports in its global network, strengthening its commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and passenger experience. Following its initial introduction at Nassau Cruise Port, the globally recognised programme allows passengers with non-visible disabilities or conditions to discreetly indicate that they may need additional time, understanding, or support. To support the more than 22 million cruise passengers travelling through its terminals annually, teams across the network received dedicated training to recognise the Sunflower symbol and assist guests. By integrating the initiative into its terminal operations, GPH reinforces its focus on accessibility, inclusion, and enhancing the overall passenger experience across its port network.
Launched in 2026, Nassau Cruise Port established a three-year strategic partnership with the Bahamas National Trust (BNT) to strengthen environmental stewardship and community engagement in The Bahamas. As a Steward Level Partner committing $75,000 over three years, the port supports national conservation initiatives and the "Blue Green Bahamas: Visitor Awareness Initiative," educating cruise passengers and residents on protecting the country's unique natural ecosystems.
In September 2025, Global Ports Holding coordinated a massive, network-wide environmental offensive for International Coastal Cleanup Day, uniting its diverse portfolio of cruise ports under the theme "From Every Port, For Every Coast." This initiative spanned the entire GPH footprint—from the turquoise waters of Nassau and Antigua in the Americas to the historic harbors of Zadar in the Mediterranean and Adriatic. Across 19 countries, over 300 employees and local volunteers joined forces to remove more than 1.2 tons of debris, including single-use plastics and abandoned fishing gear, from shorelines and seabed ecosystems. By treating every port as a "science hub" to log and map the types of waste recovered, GPH turned a global day of action into a data-driven strategy, reinforcing its commitment to preserving the marine health of the world-class destinations it serves.
