SriLankan Airlines successfully completes IATA Environmental Assessment - IEnvA 1

Taking forward the green legacy of the national carrier, SriLankan successfully completed the International Air Transport Association’s Environment Assessment (IEnvA) Program Stage 01 Assessment. SriLankan has completed the first of two stages of assessments alongside some other prominent international carriers including, Iceland air and Qatar Airways. South African Airways and Finnair have also recently completed the second and final assessments stage of the IEnvA Program. 

IEnvA has been developed in conjunction with airlines so that it addresses industry needs and specific concerns related to Airline operation. IEnvA assesses environmental performance against sustainability standards across a broad range of disciplines, including (but not limited to) the management of air quality and emissions, noise, fuel consumption and operational efficiency, recycling, energy efficiency, sustainable procurement, and biofuel utilization. Further this evaluation system is designed to independently assess and improve the environmental management of an airline and as a voluntary programme IEnvA helps airlines to simplify regulatory compliance, demonstrate good governance and achieve financial savings from the better use of resources.
