Abstract

Sustainability reporting has become an institutionalized tool for transferring the performance of a company in environmental, financial and social performance, unfortunately, lack of common port sustainability indicators PSI used by all ports in port sustainability reports, is the main motivation of this study. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to decide prevalently used port sustainability indicators in the sustainability reporting process by measuring their usage frequency and to suggest PSIs set to the ports for future sustainability reports. To reach that aim of the study, first port sustainability indicators that focused on port sustainability measurement in current literature will be gathered together to obtain sub-dimensions of sustainability, then 7 different ports sustainability reports which published in 2014 will be analyzed via the NVivo 8 software programme. At the end, the most used and unused port sustainability indicators PSIs in the sustainability reporting process will be identified under the three main dimensions of sustainability. One of the important results of the study is; 34 of the 60 PSI’s that identified are not included in any port sustainability report. In the last part of the study, research limitations and suggestions for future studies are included

ÜRDÜRÜLEBILIRLIK RAPORLAMA SÜRECINDE LIMAN SÜRDÜRÜLEBILIRLIK GÖSTERGELERININ DEĞERLENDIRILMESI

Abstract

Sürdürülebilirlik raporlamasının, bir şirketin ekonomik, çevresel ve sosyal konulardaki performansını iletmenin kurumsallaşmış bir aracı haline gelmesine rağmen, güncel liman sürdürülebilirlik raporları incelendiğinde tüm limanlar tarafından kullanılan ortak liman sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri PSI ’nin olmayışı bu çalışmanın temel motivasyonu olmuştur. Bu yüzden bu çalışmanın amacı; sürdürülebilirlik raporlarındaki kullanım sıklıklarını ölçerek yoğun olarak kullanılan liman sürdürülebilirlik göstergelerine karar vermek ve sektör uygulayıcılarına gelecek sürdürülebilirlik raporları için kullanılabilecek liman sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri seti önermek olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu amaca ulaşmak için, öncelikle mevcut yazındaki, sürdürülebilirlik ölçümü üzerine odaklanmış liman sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri derlenmiş ve sürdürülebilirlik alt-kriterleri elde edilmiştir, sonra 7 farklı limanın 2014 yılında yayınlanan sürdürülebilirlik raporları NVIVO 8 yazılımı aracılığı ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçta, sürdürülebilirlik raporlaması sırasında en çok kullanılan ve hiç kullanılmayan liman sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri, sürdürülebilirliğin üç temel boyutuna göre tanımlanmıştır. Çalışmanın ilk kısmında belirlenen 60 liman sürdürülebilirlik göstergesinin 34 tanesinin çalışma kapsamında analiz edilen hiçbir liman sürdürülebilirlik raporunda yer almaması çalışmanın dikkat çekici sonuçlarındandır. Çalışmanın son bölümünde araştırma kısıtları ve gelecek çalışmalar için önerilere yer verilmiştir
