Cambodia’s Phnom Penh International Airport, which is operated by Vinci Airports through Cambodia Airports, has reached Level 3 certification on the Airport Carbon Accreditation initiative.
To achieve its targets, the airport has invested in highly efficient chiller systems for the central air conditioning, replaced all light sources with LED technologies, or reduce the use of diesel ground generators. Level 3 certification is as a result of reduced emissions from associated third parties, such as restaurants, fuel suppliers and airliners.
Cambodia Airports has also deployed a comprehensive programme aimed at waste management, streamlining water consumption protecting natural resources and biodiversity. It also includes the building of a waste sorting facility to recover recyclable wastes and seperate food waste from the rest and the replacement of waste bins to promote waste segregation at the source.
“Being a pioneer and a leader in environmental action is a key strategy for Cambodia Airports, powered by Vinci Airports,” said Cyril Girot, CEO of Cambodia Airports. “Doubling down the ACA programme, Phnom Penh Airport has successfully been certified ISO 14001 in December 2023. The achievements demonstrate our strong commitment to coping with the challenges of global climate change. I want to express my appreciation to our personnel and partners in actively taking part in these environmental initiatives, contributing to all communities and make real the positive mobility.”
