Port NOLA Registers LIT Project with Envision

[ October 6, 2025   //   Gary Burrows ]

The Port of New Orleans, or Port NOLA said its Louisiana International Terminal project became the first new project in the U.S. and Louisiana to register with the Envision Sustainable Infrastructure Framework project.

Port NOLA said it registered LIT with the globally recognized framework to standardize how infrastructure projects are evaluated and improve sustainability of infrastructure projects across their full lifecycle.

The port also said it action underscores its commitment to building infrastructure that prioritizes environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and long-term economic resilience.

Developed by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure, or ISI, Envision assesses against a broad set of credits that measure environmental, social and economic impacts, with performance recognized through verification levels ranging from verified to platinum.

Aligning with Envision requires committing to a rigorous, third-party verification process that enhances transparency, fosters collaboration, and builds confidence among stakeholders and the public. Benefits of using Envision include:

• Standardizing sustainability assessment and accountability.

• Motivating higher sustainability performance.

• Recognizing a sustainability commitment in procurement.

• Positive public engagement and visibility.

• Enhancing collaboration across agencies and teams.

• Demonstrating responsible governance.

ISI President and CEO Anthony Kane said the port registering LIT with Envision “will serve as an example to ports and terminal operators everywhere of how to use Envision as a pathway toward measurable, responsible, and lasting impact.”
