LBC Tank Terminals has announced achievement of a 5-star rating in the 2025 GRESB benchmark for the third consecutive year, alongside recognition as Sector Leader with a score of 99 points.
The achievement highlights progress in strengthening sustainability throughout operations. The GRESB assessment evaluates performance across key areas including energy and water efficiency, carbon emissions, environmental management, stakeholder engagement, governance, and health and safety.
Recognition as a sector leader for the second consecutive year reflects consistent efforts by teams to embed sustainability in operational practices and growth strategies. LBC Tank Terminals thanked employees, customers, and partners for ongoing support and collaboration in creating long-term value and contributing to a more sustainable future.
The 5-star rating places LBC Tank Terminals in the top performance tier of GRESB participants, with the 99-point score representing near-perfect performance across the assessment framework. GRESB evaluations provide standardised benchmarking, enabling infrastructure investors and asset owners to compare ESG performance across operators and portfolios.
Sector Leader designation recognises top performers within specific infrastructure categories, with LBC achieving this distinction among liquid bulk storage terminal operators globally. Maintaining this position for two consecutive years demonstrates sustained excellence rather than single-year performance anomalies.
The third consecutive 5-star rating indicates consistent high performance and continuous improvement rather than declining from an initial peak. This trajectory reflects embedded sustainability practices and management systems supporting ongoing enhancement rather than one-time initiatives.
Terminal operations face material ESG considerations, including energy consumption for pumping and heating operations, water usage and treatment, emissions from equipment and fugitive sources, safety management for hazardous materials handling, environmental protection preventing spills and releases, and stakeholder engagement with communities near facilities.
LBC’s strong performance across these dimensions indicates comprehensive sustainability integration addressing operational efficiency, environmental protection, safety excellence, and stakeholder management. The 99-point score suggests few improvement opportunities identified by GRESB’s evaluation criteria.
For infrastructure investors utilising GRESB data in portfolio management and capital allocation decisions, LBC’s consistent top-tier performance provides assurance of strong ESG practices potentially influencing investment attractiveness, cost of capital, and asset valuations. Superior GRESB performance can differentiate operators competing for contracts, customers prioritising sustainability, and investor capital.
The acknowledgement of employees, customers, and partners recognises that sustainability performance requires organisational commitment beyond executive initiatives, with operational staff implementing practices, customers supporting sustainable operations through commercial relationships, and partners contributing to supply chain and service provider sustainability.
LBC Tank Terminals’ sustained GRESB excellence positions the company as a sustainability leader within the liquid bulk storage sector, demonstrating that terminal operations can achieve high environmental and social performance whilst maintaining commercial competitiveness and operational effectiveness.
