Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has had its Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) certification upgraded to Level 3 ‘Optimisation’.

ACA Level 3 recognises the achievement of carbon 'mapping' and 'reduction', extending the airport carbon footprint to include indirect Scope 3 emissions by engaging stakeholders through guidance and influence.

BIAL set up a system to measure and monitor the carbon footprints at the airport in accordance with the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.

Bangalore International becomes the third Indian airport to have achieved the ACA Level 3 certification.

GV Sanjay Reddy, managing director of BIAL, says: “We have once again demonstrated our passion and commitment towards fostering and promoting ecological sustainability in Indian industry.

“Today, we are not just recognised as a successful airport, but also one that has achieved its success in a responsible and sustainable manner.”

BIAL previously received an ACA Level 2 'Reduction' certificate in May 2012 in recognition of a series of green initiatives it adopted.
