Airports Council International, and its office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ACI-LAC), announced that El Dorado International Airport <\/strong>became the first in the region to achieve Level 4 “Transformation” in ACI’s Airport Carbon Accreditation program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is a global initiative designed to recognize airports’ efforts to measure, manage and reduce carbon emissions. The program offers six progressive levels, starting with “Mapping” and culminating at the highest level of “Transition,” demonstrating an airport’s commitment to sustainable practices and carbon neutrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This recognition is the result of our work and commitment to the sustainable management of the operation and positions us as leaders in reducing the sector’s carbon footprint. We will continue to work collaboratively with the airport community to increase the reduction of direct emissions and continue advancing in our climate change strategy,” said Natal\u00ed Leal, Opain’s General Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Level 4 achieved demonstrates a comprehensive approach to carbon management, which includes significant carbon emission reduction measures and stakeholder engagement to collectively address environmental challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
