The Italian Lufthansa subsidiary Air Dolomiti received a validation of the EMAS certificate. This is an environmental audit by the European Union.

The requirements for membership are the existence of an environmental management system (ISO 14001: 2015) and the submission of an environmental declaration with subsequent validation. EMAS promotes the continuous improvement of the performance of organizations through the establishment and application of environmental management systems, the regular and systematic evaluation of protocols and the provision of information on the results achieved.

The certification, issued in Italy by ISPRA, the Environmental Protection and Research Agency, is valid for three years. Compliance with EMAS guarantees the use of eco-processes, reduces the frequency of environmentally harmful events, provides guarantees of compliance with environmentally friendly regulations, and promotes the development and growth of technical and scientific knowledge to continuously improve environmental performance.

“With this integrated system, we are helping to make air traffic more environmentally friendly and at the same time more cost-effective by optimizing the use of resources with the aim of creating economic and ecological added value. This commitment to act together to protect the environment is the basis for many projects, measures and innovations that describe the path towards a sustainable future. The integration and general organization in terms of environmental management will also lead to coordinated and transparent communication regarding activities and internal operating procedures ”, says Jörg Eberhart, President and CEO of Air Dolomiti.
