Associated British Ports (ABP) is the UK’s leading ports group, with 21 ports handling around a quarter of the UK’s seaborne trade worth £157 billion. Together with our customers, our ports contribute more than £15 billion to the UK economy and support 200,000+ jobs.
Our ports provide essential gateways for trade, enable green infrastructure and catalyse investment and good jobs in coastal communities. These contributions are built on the foundations of safe and resilient operations today, together with embracing innovation and people development to deliver the ports of the future.
We are redefining what Keeping Britain Trading means in the greener, cleaner economy of the future. This is reflected in the launch of our sustainability strategy, ‘Ready for Tomorrow’, which sets out our plan to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations by 2040 by the latest.
