SWISSPORT aims to decarbonize its operations and supply chain to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The handler intends to reach this goal through a transition pathway addressing Scopes 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions categories introduced by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
The company is also committing to both material near-term carbon reduction and net-zero targets by 2050 through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reports London's Air Cargo News.
Setting a target for net-zero emissions is of utmost importance for Swissport, said Warwick Brady, president and chief executive of Swissport.
Addressing climate change head-on is the most significant challenge of our time. In committing to targets which will be validated through the Science Based Targets initiative, swissport makes a meaningful contribution to securing a sustainable future for the planet and for our business.
The electrification of its fleet of ground support vehicles operating at some 300 airports globally is the backbone of Swissport s efforts to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
In 2022, Swissport announced plans to increase the share of electric vehicles to at least 55 per cent of the total motorized fleet by 2032.
At some Swissport locations, this is already achieved: for example, after the renewal of the company s forklift fleet in its Finland cargo operations, 98 per cent of its fleet will be electric.
In parallel, Swissport is working with airports to coordinate and expedite the implementation of the required infrastructure such as charging stations.
On the policy side of greening operations, Swissport has established a near-term target for reducing Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by a minimum of 42 per cent by 2032.
To track progress on emissions targets, the company launched a comprehensive emission reporting fully aligned with the standards of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
