Arlanda the worlds leading sustainable airport

Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is the first airport in the world to be accredited the highest level in a European programme that grades the climate change impact of airports

“Stockholm-Arlanda is already seen as a role model by many international analysts in terms of climate-changing emissions, and this accreditation provides further evidence that the work we’re putting into this also yields results,” says Kerstin Lindberg Göransson, Managing Director of Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.

The organisations behind the programme, called Airport Carbon Accreditation, are ACI, Airport Council International Europe, which is an association of 440 airports in Europe, and WSP Environmental, which is a global technology consultancy providing analysis and other services for sustainable social development.

The programme follows the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, an international standard developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI). There are four different levels, the highest being 3+, which is the one Stockholm-Arlanda has now been accredited. This level means that the airport is entirely climate-neutral with respect to carbon dioxide emissions from its own activities.

Gillar om det du skrev! Kul att se en del nyttiga saker och inte endast det vanliga grejerna som man kan se om typ alltid. ;)
