Summary/Abstract: In this article we discuss the port of Antwerp's sustainability reporting initiative, reporting on the joint performance of the harbour community, as a process of co-production. By means of 'stakeholder elicitation' and in interaction with the port's sustantiability reporting initiative we investigated potentially meaninguful indicators (mainly qualitative in nature) for environmental nuisance and citizen participation as aspects of responsible care. Reflecting on this work, we argue that such initiatives not only produce new sustainability indicators and standards, but also encourage dialogue throught which identities are formed and a sense of (port) community is established.
