easyJet is now the first low-fare carrier in the world with a fully IATA IEnvA certified Environmental Management System (EMS). The airline recently completed its IATA IEnvA stage 2 certification, following a successful IATA IEnvA stage 1 earlier this year.
IEnvA is a voluntary programme helping airlines to identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues in a holistic manner. It commits airlines to compliance with environmental obligations and to continually improve their environmental performance.
Jane Ashton, Director of Sustainability at easyJet, said:
“I’m really pleased to have achieved this first for a low-cost carrier worldwide, with the full IATA IEnvA accreditation further demonstrating easyJet’s continued commitment to continuously improving our environmental performance.”
Sebastian Mikosz, IATA Senior Vice President, Environment and Sustainability, said:
“I am especially pleased that easyJet has partnered with IATA and trusts us to work with them to further improve their environmental management practices. easyJet’s recent full IEnvA Certification bears witness of a solid commitment to achieving environmental sustainability.
“Environmental sustainability is an existential challenge for the entire airline industry. IATA is proud to work with its member airlines, but also non-member airlines to introduce world-class environmental management practices to the aviation industry.”
