Hermes Airports commits to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 (Updated)
June 28, 2019
Hermes Airports said on Wednesday the operator had signed a landmark commitment to become net zero for their carbon emissions by 2050.
The commitment concerns airport buildings, infrastructure and vehicles, not aircraft.
The resolution was signed in the morning at the 29th ACI Europe Annual Congress in Cyprus – the annual gathering for airport CEOs and senior level airline representatives across Europe.
This commitment was undertaken as part of ACI Europe, the trade association for the European airport industry, announcing a resolution formally committing the industry to achieve net zero by 2050, at the latest.
The collective pledge – further undersigned by 194 airports, operated by 40 airport operators across 24 countries – marks a significant step change in the climate action ambitions for the airport industry.
