SAAM Towage Brazil achieves carbon neutrality for third year

For the third consecutive year, SAAM Towage Brazil achieved the PAS 2060

international certification, confirming the carbon neutrality of its operations

in the country.

The company combined operational measures to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions

with the purchase of carbon credits to offset 100 per cent of remaining

emissions.

Juliana Soares, Brazil’s Sustainability Coordinator, said: “This

certification recognises SAAM’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and

environmental accountability. Reaching this milestone again demonstrates the

consistent alignment of our company’s practices with the highest environmental

and climate standards.”

SAAM Towage continues to advance its Sustainability Strategy, focusing on

energy efficiency, environmental management, and reducing GHG emissions by

2030.

Soares added: “This achievement is possible thanks to the company’s

commitment and the dedication of all our employees. Our goal is to keep

evolving, find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint, and inspire other

companies to move in the same direction.”

SAAM Towage Brazil operates in 18 ports across the country with a fleet of

more than 67 tugs and approximately 700 employees.

In October, SAAM announced the signing of an agreement to purchase 30 per

cent of Intertug’s companies operating in Colombia and Mexico, giving it 100 per

cent ownership.
