LATAM Cargo recognized by TIACA with the Air Cargo Sustainability Award
LATAM’s robust sustainability strategy and its significant progress in this area earned the group’s cargo subsidiaries recognition from the International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) with the Air Cargo Sustainability Award, in its fifth edition.
The distinction considers both companies and outstanding initiatives in the sector that are leading the way towards a more sustainable air cargo industry. LATAM Cargo stood out against 12 competitors in the sector, being selected by a jury composed of 5 experts linked to the industry and sustainability, as the winner in the corporate category for the presentation of its sustainability initiatives, collectively referred to as “A Necessary Destination”.
“As a group, we have set ambitious goals because we believe this is a necessity, not an option. This strategy and our objectives are the roadmap we have drawn up to meet this priority. We thank TIACA for this recognition, as it reinforces that we are on the right path and encourages us to continue working hard on our commitment to the planet and society,” said Cristina Oñate, VP of Marketing and Product Development at LATAM Cargo.
