• Verified emissions: Puerto José Banús reports 841.85 t CO2e in 2023, complying with the standards of the GHG Protocol.
• Environmental commitment: The AENOR certification validates the responsible and transparent management of its emissions.

At Puerto Banús, we continue to advance our commitment to sustainability and environmental care. To this end, we have conducted a Carbon Footprint study for activities carried out in the business year of 2023. The report is a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions conformity certificate issued by AENOR (The Spanish Association for Standardisation and Certification) to “Puerto José Banús, S.A.” for the 2023 period.

The report presents the following data:

1. Certified Organisation:

• Puerto José Banús, S.A., which provides port services in Puerto Banús (Marbella, Málaga)
  .

2. Total Emissions:

• Total emissions: 841.85 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (t CO2e).

3. Verified Activities:

• Provision of port services to boats in marinas (boatyard, pontoons, moorings, fuel supplies, and port access control).
• Administrative management of terrace leasing for commercial activities.

4. Calculated Period:

• Year 2023.

5. Applicable Standards:

• The GHG Protocol was followed for emissions calculation.

6. Verifying Entity:

• AENOR, through the “Verified Emissions Report for 2023 and AENOR’s Verification Statement”.

This certificate verifies that the activities carried out by Puerto José Banús comply with the established requirements for the measurement and verification of GHG emissions (Green House Gas), providing transparency regarding its carbon footprint for the year 2023.

We can interpret the certificates’ conclusions based on several key aspects:

1. Regulatory compliance: The report shows that Puerto José Banús, S.A. has complied with the GHG Protocol requirements, which is positive from an environmental compliance and responsibility perspective. This indicates that the organisation is measuring and reporting its greenhouse gas emissions adequately, as verified by AENOR, a recognised entity.

2. Emissions scope: The total reported emissions are 841.85 t CO2e for 2023.

• Scope 1 (direct emissions): 12.99695 t CO2e, which is relatively low.
• Scope 2 (indirect emissions): 828.85154 t CO2e, which is significantly higher, reflecting the impact of electricity consumption or other indirect energy sources.

3. Transparency and commitment: We have subjected our emissions to an external audit and certification by AENOR as part of our commitment to sustainability and transparency.

Aspects to consider for further mprovement:

• Reduction of Indirect Emissions: The high percentage of emissions in Scope 2 allows us to explore options to reduce the use of non-renewable energy and improve energy efficiency.
• Future Strategies: This report will serve to implement new emission reduction policies, such as adopting cleaner or renewable technologies.

General conclusion:

The report is positive in terms of regulatory compliance and emissions verification. The report serves as a basis to explore opportunities for improvement in reducing indirect emissions, aiming to enhance our environmental profile year after year.
