The environmentally-conscious efforts of LuxairCARGO were rewarded on Thursday 15 October 2015 with the 'Customer Choice Green Award of the Year' from the Payload Asia 2015 Awards.
The accolade was awarded at a conference held by magazine Payload Asia, which looks at trade in the air cargo supply chain sector of Pacific Asia and the Middle East with the support of the Logistics Insight Asia publication. The ceremony is held every year, assembling major global players in air freight, and rewards airfreight actos who have demonstrated excellence, innovation and inventive strategy to boost the market and positively impact the industry.
The 'Green Award' winner was selected based on criteria such as efforts to reduce the environmental impact of a company's activities and actions undertaken to promote environmental preservation. The award was bestowed on LuxairCARGO for its goal to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 20% over five years, and for setting out to identify emission sources in order to develop an action plan based on performance indicators.
More specifically, LuxairCARGO entered into an electricity purchase based on 100% renewable energy allowing it power electrical equipment such as technical vehicles, its ULD storage robot, the feeding of its planes on the ground, as well as the lighting on the aircraft loading platform, its halls, parking lots and offices, with green electricity.
LuxairCARGO was also praised for its initiative to reduce energy consumption by drawing on efficient refrigeration equipment at the forefront of technology, LED lighting for its handling and storage facilities and natural gas heating. In addition, a panel of experts continuously monitor technical and energy consumption infrastructure to benefit the Cargocenter and assess the latest innovations available to continue to improve environmental performance.
The award earlier in October followed LuxairCARGO's reception of the 'Lean and Green' label in July 2015, first created in 2014 as a means of rewarding Luxembourg logistic company efforts to reduce emissions.
