Abstract

Sustainability has been a growing topic in business conversations, highlighting the need to integrate practices aimed at the future and the next generations. Issues related to environmental preservation and social responsibility permeate different spheres of our society. Port Sustainability, in turn, reveals that a port's operations are not restricted to just receiving and dispatching ships. A sustainable port exceeds economic viability. This constitutes just one facet of the Sustainability principles, which encompass, in addition to economic considerations, social and environmental aspects. In this sense, the Sustainable Development Goals come into the discussion, with updated targets of the Millennium Goals to be achieved by 2030. Within this context, this article used as a methodology the combination of a systematic review of the literature, together with documentary analysis of the reports sustainability of Brazilian public ports. The main results present the SDGs most cited in literature focused on port sustainability, number of citations per port, keywords most cited in sustainability reports, among others.
