The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) unveiled\na new sustainability initiative, the NATA Sustainability Standard for Aviation\nBusinesses, to provide aviation businesses and airports a self-certification\nprocess for pursuing flexible, cost-effective options to lower their carbon\nfootprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Developed by a working group under NATA\u2019s Environment\nCommittee, the NATA Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses is a free\nindustry standard designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including\nCO2), increase use of more environmentally friendly energy sources, reduce\nwaste, and encourage sustainability operation-wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen NATA established our Environment Committee about a\nyear ago, developing a self-certification sustainability standard for our\nmembership was a top priority. We sincerely thank the committee, our members,\nand the working group for their foresight and dedication in developing a standard\nthat facilitates continuous operational and industry improvement,\u201d stated NATA\nPresident and CEO Timothy Obitts. \u201cAviation businesses have been an important\npart of the sustainability movement, and this standard provides a means to\nrecognize their efforts and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The standard is voluntary in nature, flexible in both\nimplementation and certification methods, operationally focused, and consistent\nwith existing environmental and sustainability standards for establishing and\nreducing a company\u2019s carbon footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe NATA Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses\nwas designed to encourage more aviation businesses and airports onto the path\nto sustainability, assist them throughout their journey, and serve as a\nfoundation for future enhancements,\u201d stated NATA Working Group Chairman Patrick\nMoylan, a senior associate with FBO Partners. \u201cThe standard is part of a living\ndocument, evolving with the needs of the industry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
