Milano Malpensa Airport achieves the highest level of Airport Carbon Accreditation

Milano Malpensa Airport has achieved Level 4+ ‘Transition’ of Airport Carbon Accreditation, following in the footsteps of its sister airport Milano Linate, which received this recognition earlier this year. Now both airports operated by SEA Group have aligned their carbon management with the ambition of the Paris Agreement.

Attaining Level 4+ represents a step change in the carbon management of an airport. It requires setup of a long-term goal and strategy oriented towards absolute emissions reductions, including an emissions trajectory and interim milestones.

Milano Malpensa has also included broader emissions in their carbon footprint that include all the significant operational sources on- and off-site. In addition, the airport has demonstrated evidence of actively engaging and leading their operational stakeholders towards delivering emissions reductions.
