On 12 July in London, Air France-KLM was honoured by Airline Business in the Environment category of the Airline Strategy Awards. The Group’s strategy, which places the environment at the heart of its concerns and development, received the award.

The jury praised the quality of the Group’s communication on the subject of sustainable development and its participation in programmes to improve air traffic management and the compensation of CO2 emissions.

The criteria used for judging in the Environment category of the Airline Strategy Awards are the following:

• definition and implementation of a global environmental strategy;

• definition, development and implementation of measures giving rise to beneficial effects on the environment;

• participation, within the airline industry, in research programmes to find new technology or operational procedures to reduce the carbon footprint, such as alternative biofuels or ways to improve air traffic management.

The Airline Strategy Awards, held once a year, reward companies for their contribution to the air transport industry in various categories, including the environment.
