Cathay Cargo Terminal and Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) have become the first airfreight handling-companies to achieve IATA Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) certification.
IEnvA is a comprehensive certification programme developed by the International Air Transport Association that independently assesses the commitment of aviation stakeholders to continuously improve their environmental and sustainability performance. By adhering to globally recognised standards and best practice, IEnvA ensures that organisations minimise negative impacts on the environment while maintaining operational excellence.
Cathay Cargo terminal chief operating officer Mark Watts said: “The programme brings real rigour to environment management systems and reflects the significant investments our companies are making.”
Hactl chief executive Wilson Kwong added: “By attaining this certification, our two companies have set a high standard for the entire industry to strive towards. This achievement solidifies our position as leaders in promoting environmental responsibility, and underscores the importance of sustainable practices in the aviation sector.”
