Also taking place at Airport Exchange: 41st Environmental Strategy Committee Airport Carbon Accreditation Workshop

This conference will be followed by a complimentary self-contained workshop on Airport Carbon Accreditation, the first airport specific and independently-verified programme for managing carbon-based emissions from airport operations. The workshop will examine how airports promote and communicate their sustainability credentials, and how service providers at an airport can be incentivised to reduce their CO2 emissions.
