SAS has achieved official approval for its IEnvA Assessment Report, marking a pivotal step in its dedication to environmental sustainability.
In response to increasing concerns over the aviation industry’s environmental impact, SAS has positioned itself at the forefront of sustainable practices. The airline consistently enhances its Environmental Management System to meet and exceed industry standards. This accomplishment underscores SAS’s leadership in environmental responsibility, setting a benchmark for other companies in the industry to follow.
“SAS is the first airline within the SkyTeam alliance to receive the IATA IEnvA Assessment Program Certification. Not only that, but we’re also the only airline to score this certification across all three Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) – covering everything from flight and ground ops to cargo, products, and services. This accomplishment isn’t just about meeting the ISO 14001 standards: it’s about going above and beyond with IATA’s rigorous and aviation specific IEnvA criteria. We are excited to celebrate this milestone and e even more driven to keep redefining the limits for a sustainable future in aviation.” says Ann-Sofie Hörlin, Head of Sustainability at SAS.
The IEnvA standard is an advanced framework that expands upon ISO 14001, preserving its rigorous approach while adding aviation-specific criteria established by IATA. Endorsed by leading ESG rating agencies such as Sustainable Fitch, S&P Global, EcoVadis, and SGS, IEnvA offers a comprehensive structure for managing environmental responsibilities in the aviation industry.
SAS has successfully earned certification across several key operational areas, including:
- Corporate activities
- Flight operations
- Maintenance, repair, and overhaul
- Ground handling
- Cargo
