25の主要港湾における403の環境KPIをベンチマークし、報告パターンを分析。多くの港湾は基準準拠の透明性があるが、成果志向や統合的な指標が不足。気候リスク評価、環境ファイナンス、音響管理、再生設計などの新興領域での報告の成熟度は特に低い。コンプライアンス主導からパフォーマンス評価・戦略的意思決定を支援する統合的なKPIフレームワークへの移行を提言。
English
This study benchmarks 403 environmental KPIs across 25 major global ports, revealing that while ports have baseline transparency, outcome-oriented and integrative metrics are scarce. Blind spots in climate resilience, environmental finance, noise, and circularity are identified. The paper calls for a shift from compliance-driven disclosures to harmonized KPI frameworks that support performance evaluation and systemic sustainability transformation.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の港湾は国際的な環境基準への対応が求められており、本論文のベンチマークは日本の港湾の開示水準を評価し改善点を特定する上で参考になる。特にSSBJや有報における非財務情報開示の強化が進む中、港湾セクター固有のKPIの統合・標準化は日本でも重要な課題である。
In the global GX context
For the global GX context, this paper provides a systematic benchmark of environmental KPI reporting in ports, a sector often overlooked in disclosure frameworks like TCFD/ISSB. It highlights the need for outcome-oriented metrics and integration across environmental domains, which is relevant for transition finance and disclosure standards extension to infrastructure assets.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in sustainability disclosure and port management can use this benchmark to study KPI evolution and comparability.
🏢実務担当者:Port authorities and terminal operators can identify gaps in their reporting and adopt harmonized KPIs to meet investor and regulatory expectations.
🏛政策担当者:Regulators and standard-setters for port sustainability can leverage the proposed pathways to develop sector-specific disclosure guidance.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Ports play a critical role in global sustainability transitions, yet environmental performance reporting remains fragmented and uneven. This study examines environmental key performance indicator (KPI) reporting practices across twenty-five benchmark ports using a multi-category framework encompassing major environmental dimensions. The analysis reveals that, while most ports have established baseline transparency and compliance with international standards, reporting predominantly focuses on inventory-based and infrastructure-oriented indicators, with limited tracking of outcome-oriented performance metrics such as progress toward emissions reduction targets or reductions in stormwater pollution loads. Performance-based, outcome-oriented, and integrative KPIs remain underrepresented across environmental domains. High-level sustainability commitments are frequently disclosed without systematic progress tracking, and environmental domains are often reported in isolation, limiting holistic planning and comparability. Emerging areas such as climate risk assessment, environmental finance, acoustic management, and regenerative design exhibit particularly low reporting maturity. These findings underscore the need to shift from descriptive, compliance-driven disclosures toward harmonized, integrated KPI frameworks that support performance evaluation, strategic decision-making, and systemic sustainability transformation in the global port sector. Benchmarks 403 environmental KPIs across 25 major global ports. Reveals gaps in outcome‑oriented and integrative sustainability reporting. Identifies blind spots in climate resilience, finance, noise, and circularity. Proposes pathways for harmonized, systemic environmental KPI frameworks.
