Brussels cargo community teams up for first TIACA BlueSky workshop
TIACA and Air Cargo Belgium held the official launch workshop for the first TIACA BlueSky community.
The Brussels community, which is sponsored by Brussels Airport, will work together to improve their environmental performance in line with TIACA’s BlueSky programme.
The first wave of six pioneering companies joined together for a kickoff workshop led by Change Horizon.
At the workshop, participants from Aviapartner, dnata, EFL Global, Ninatrans, Swissport and WFS gained sustainability insights, understood the benefits and principles of BlueSky and prepared for the assessment and verification process.
Air Cargo Belgium and Brussels Airport Company have established a sponsorship fund which will support up to 15 members with their BlueSky assessment by co-sharing their fees, formally establishing the first BlueSky community.
Further waves of participants will follow with the objective of creating a broader view of the entire airport community status regarding its sustainability journey.
The collective results will also provide Brussels Airport and Air Cargo Belgium clear guidance as to where their community could benefit from additional sustainability project initiatives.
“Brussels Airport believes that the future of air cargo needs to be sustainable and is, constantly taking initiatives and implementing improvements towards it. At the same time, we are encouraging our stakeholders to also become more sustainable,” said Geert Aerts, chief cargo and real estate officer, Brussels Airport Company.
“This is a landmark moment for BRUcargo and the air cargo industry at large. By coming together as a community to participate in the BlueSky program, we are not only highlighting our commitment to sustainability but also setting a precedent for collaborative progress on a global scale,” added Freek De Witte, director Air Cargo Belgium.
The TIACA BlueSky programme is designed to provide individual air cargo and logistics companies with a verified independent assessment of their sustainability credentials.
