As a requirement of the EMAS III registry, the Port Authority of Vigo prepares year after year its Environmental Declaration and submits it to an accredited external entity:
The Consolidated Text of the Law of State Ports and Merchant Marine (RDL 2/2011) incorporates sustainability as one of the principles that should govern the model of planning and management of ports.
Since 2010, the Port Authority of Vigo elaborates a Sustainability Report based on the "Guide for the elaboration of sustainability reports of port authorities" approved by Puertos del Estado.
This document allows knowing the current situation of the Port Authority of Vigo and the progress in institutional, economic, social and environmental terms through a series of indicators.
