The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) has published its fourth industry survey - the 2024 Insights Report - focused on 'People, Planet and Prosperity' supported by innovation and partnership.
The report classifies the various aspects of sustainability under three key areas: encompassing critical items to operate successfully, essential items to grow and a wide range of exemplary areas to differentiate.
“The results of the Insights Report are encouraging and we have made progress on the sustainability front, but with ... work still to do," said Steven Polmans, TIACA's chair.
Report highlights include:
- 97 per cent of respondents highlight sustainability is equally - or more - important than last year.
- Pressure from regulators keeps increasing year on year and it now stands at 61 per cent, six points more than last year and 24 points more than 2021.
- 74 per cent of companies with a sustainability strategy feel sustainability is embedded in their company’s DNA.
- 79 per cent measure their progress on sustainability targets, and 81 pedr cent produce a sustainability report.
- 43 per cent of companies use offsetting mechanisms.
“This year’s Insights Report continues to underline how important sustainability has become within the industry and supports TIACA’s Sustainability Program.
"As we continue our work on this front, we continue to look for ways we as an association can help guide the industry towards a more sustainable future. We are committed to continuing to support the industry through the Sustainability Program’s robust portfolio and will maintain our investment in projects such as BlueSky, the Sustainability Awards, the Sustainability Roadmap and the annual survey and publication of the Insights Report.
"As we move ahead, we look forward to the launch of new projects that will continue to support the industry’s sustainability path including the Invest In Climate Action and the Air Cargo Training Library platforms, both of which are scheduled to launch this week.” said Glyn Hughes, TIACA director general.
