ECOPORTS
Progress Status
2022: We began work with the purpose of certifying the Tocopilla port in early 2022.
2023: In April, Puerto Tocopilla initiated the verification process of the Port Environment Revision SYstem (PERS) with the aim of achieving the Ecoports Certification and to comply with our sustainability goal. With that purpose we have decided to make available to the public Puerto Tocopilla Environmental Report on our website. By doing so, we seek to foster transparency and open communication in relation to our environmental practices and to reinforce our commitment to citizens and the environment.

2023: In June, the ECOSLC Foundation congratulated the SQM Tocopilla port in Chile, for achieving ECOPORTS PERS Certification for the first time, following validation obtained from the independent auditor LRQA located in The Netherlands. See certificate here
2024: In the follow-up evaluation, we improved our environmental performance, increasing the rate from 90.57% in 2022 to 92.98% in 2024.
2025: In June, we will begin the recertification process for the Port of Tocopilla under the ECOPORTS PERS standard, reaffirming our commitment to responsible environmental management and continuous improvement. As part of this effort, we will publish an updated version of the Port of Tocopilla Environmental Report, which will be made publicly available on our website. This initiative reflects our ongoing dedication to transparency, open communication with stakeholders, and sustainability excellence in our port operations. Environmental report here.
