Asia Airfreight Terminal has achieved the IATA ISP Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) certification, reinforcing the strength of its sustainability management framework and alignment with internationally recognised environmental standards.

“Given the scale and round-the-clock nature of our operations, we can drive meaningful change through integrating sustainability into our daily operations at every level.” said Mike Chew, CEO of AAT. “Achieving the certification validates the maturity of our environmental management framework and the measurable progress we have delivered across decarbonisation, infrastructure and governance. It reflects our determination to lead responsibly while maintaining operational excellence.”

Sustainability at AAT is governed through a robust, multi‑tiered framework spanning the Board, senior management, a cross‑functional Sustainability Committee and company‑wide execution teams. This governance structure provides oversight of environmental compliance obligations, performance targets and risk management, ensuring accountability at every level of the organisation. Anchored in operational decarbonisation and resource efficiency, AAT’s strategy is underpinned by terminal‑wide initiatives including energy‑efficient infrastructure upgrades, fleet electrification, the deployment of Autonomous Electric Tractors and adoption of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). Delivering measurable results, these initiatives have collectively reduced emissions by 33% from a 2018 baseline, advancing AAT’s pathway to net‑zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“IATA congratulates AAT on achieving the certification,” said Marie Owens Thomsen, Senior Vice President Sustainability & Chief Economist, IATA. “By adopting a structured and internationally aligned environmental management framework, AAT demonstrates how sustainability can be advanced in a practical and measurable way while supporting resilient and efficient air cargo operations.”
