Royal Air Maroc (RAM) joins a growing community of airlines signing up for the IATA Environmental Assessment Program (IEnvA), a key tool for airlines, aircraft maintenance services, on-board catering services and ground handlers to achieve sustainability in all air and ground operations.
IEnvA is a system designed to independently assess and improve the environmental management of an airline. It identifies the environmental impact and risks and provides the tools to check an airline's sustainability commitment. The program covers all aspects of sustainability from CO2 emissions to single-use plastics to cabin waste to wildlife trafficking.
It is based on the ISO14000 environmental management standard and covers all flight operations and activities on the ground and in the air in every country in which the airline operates. The full implementation and review can take between six and 18 months. Every two years the process is audited by independent third-party experts and the airline is then IEnvA certified.
Environmental sustainability is center stage for aviation. Our industry’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 is ambitious but achievable. Airlines and other industry players must have the right tools to support our goal towards a carbon-neutral industry.
“Royal Air Maroc’s signing up for IEnvA underscores their commitment to improving the company’s environmental management practices, and sustainability in general. We are very pleased that RAM has partnered with IATA and trust us to work with them to further progress. Environmental sustainability is an existential challenge for the entire airline industry. IATA is proud to work with its member airline to introduce world-class environmental management practices to the aviation industry", said Kamil Alawadhi, IATA’s Regional Vice-President for Africa and Middle East during the signing ceremony.
