Following on from recent innovative environmental initiatives, such as the switch to 100% renewable energy, testing the first fully electric airport shuttle bus with boost charging and the introduction of an autonomous power and air conditioning supply system for business air travel, Nice Côte d’Azur airport has become the first Carbon Neutral airport in France, achieving Level 3+ Carbon Accreditation: it is also becomes the world's 25th certified airport.
In fact the Group has achieved the ultimate milestone in its Airport Carbon Accreditation strategy by becoming Carbon Neutral two years ahead of its initial deadline of 2018.
Level 3+ means that the airport management has committed, after several years of reducing its emissions, to continue those efforts and offset any residual emissions to allow all operations under the airport's control to become carbon neutral. This victory is seen as rewarding the efforts made by the airport group to be more energy efficient and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
