SAAM Towage Marks Third Year of Carbon-Neutral Operations in Brazil

For the third consecutive year, SAAM Towage has achieved PAS 2060 international certification in Brazil, reaffirming the carbon neutrality of its operations in the country. This recognition reflects the company’s continued commitment to sustainability, supported by operational initiatives to reduce the intensity of Scope 1 and 2 emissions. To complement these efforts, SAAM Towage offset 100% of its remaining emissions through the purchase of verified carbon credits.

“This certification recognizes 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,” said Brazil’s Sustainability Coordinator, Juliana Soares.

This progress encourages SAAM to continue deepening its efforts in energy efficiency and environmental management, which are part of its Sustainability Strategy and include reducing and offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030.

“This achievement is possible thanks to the company’s commitment and the dedication of all our employees. Our goal is to continue to evolve, explore new ways to reduce our carbon footprint and inspire other companies to move in the same direction,” concluded Soares.

SAAM Towage Brazil operates in 18 ports in that country with a fleet of more than 67 tugs and a team of approximately 700 people.
