Prague Airport
In the last year, Prague Airport has reduced CO2 emissions by 72 percent compared to 2009. At the same time, this year it once again defended its carbon footprint management certification in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program. Prague is thus one of the 20 European airports that has committed itself not only to reducing its carbon footprint from the operation itself, but also to involve its partners in this effort. These are, for example, airlines, handling or catering service providers or land transport users.
Prague Airport is involved in the ACA program, which, under the auspices of the International Airport Association (ACI), is reassessing the world’s airports and its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint since 2009. This year, Prague Airport defended its carbon footprint management certification Level 3 – Optimization, Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program.
Achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 is a long-term goal of Prague Airport. Therefore, since 2012, it has implemented a number of cost-saving projects from lighting replacement, installation of new boilers, optimization of air conditioning operation and more. Starting in 2019, the airport covers 100 percent of its own electricity consumption from renewable sources. Airport decarbonisation is also one of the main pillars of the company’s ESG strategy.
