BNE achieves ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation
Posted: 15 January 2015 | Brisbane Airport
Brisbane Airport Corporation’s effort in managing its carbon emissions and operating Brisbane Airport in an environmentally sustainable manner has been officially recognised with Airports Council International presenting BAC with a Level 1 Mapping Airport Carbon Accreditation certificate…
The global Airport Carbon Accreditation programme certifies airports at four different levels of accreditation (Mapping, Reduction, Optimisation and Neutrality). It is independently administered, institutionally-endorsed and has won praise from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the United Nation Environment Panel (UNEP) and the European Union (EU).
To achieve Level 1 Mapping Accreditation BAC identified all carbon emission sources under its control, calculating its annual carbon emissions and compiling a carbon footprint report and engaging an independent third-party to verify its carbon footprint report.
Julieanne Alroe, BAC CEO and Managing Director, said the airport’s sustainability strategy aimed to reach beyond a risk and compliance position.
