Punta Cana International Airport obtained the Level 2 Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) for reducing its carbon footprint in passenger emissions by 40.8%, granted by the International Airports Council\u2019s (IAC) carbon footprint program which recognizes efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information was provided by Giovanni Rainieri, the airport\u2019s Director of Airside Operations, who said \u201cthis achievement has a high impact on the airport\u2019s environmental management and on the measures implemented to reduce emissions as well as the efforts we make to have an energy-efficient airport with online operations in line with our sustainability strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Punta Cana International Airport is the first airport in the Dominican Republic to obtain the triple ISO certification (9001, 14001 and 14064-1) and simultaneously receive the ACA Level 2 Carbon Footprint accreditation from IAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The air terminal implemented the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard, whereby an inventory of the airport\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions was conducted, considered \u201can important step in our actions to reduce the effects of climate change and contribute to the sector\u2019s aims in terms of reducing emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rainieri added that the certification reaffirms the air terminal\u2019s commitment to the continuity of its sustainability policy since such a level of mitigation was possible thanks to the use of self-generated photovoltaic energy and the incorporation of energy efficiency measures with the use of LED lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAchieving a 40.8% reduction per passenger in carbon emissions is an achievement that highlights and emphasizes the airport\u2019s commitment to the challenge of climate change, by the main goal of decarbonization of the airline sector by 2050,\u201d Rainieri said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
