Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB)’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gases have once again been recognized, as the airport has received Airport Carbon Accreditation level 3 certification.
Since joining the Airport Carbon Accreditation program in 2016, we have been making considerable efforts to reduce our environmental footprint.
Through our close collaboration with our airport site partners, we are continuing our efforts to demonstrate a steady reduction in our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Airport Carbon Accreditation is a global carbon management certification program established by the Airports Council International (ACI). The program provides airports with a common framework for active carbon management with measurable goalposts. The carbon emissions of each airport are independently verified using an evidence-based approach in accordance with ISO 14064 (Greenhouse Gas Accounting).
