The
International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) announced that the third edition of
the Air Cargo Sustainability Award is now open for applications. The
competition aims to recognize outstanding businesses and industry initiatives
leading the way to a more sustainable air cargo industry. CHAMP Cargosystems, a
leading industry IT solution provider, has generously committed to continue
sponsoring these awards.
“We are delighted to be supporting the TIACA Sustainability Awards for the
third consecutive year. In the current climate it is particularly important to
look for opportunities to support more efficient business practices and to
promote the sustainability agenda. If history teaches us anything, it is that
in challenging times innovative ideas emerge. We therefore look forward to this
year’s applications to see the range of pioneering solutions that are proposed
to help the air cargo industry in a way that is supportive of our planet,”
states Chris McDermott, CEO of CHAMP Cargosystems, the exclusive sponsor of the
Awards.
TIACA is calling for applications demonstrating solutions and practices
making positive change in any of the areas of TIACA’s sustainability vision for
air cargo.
“More than ever our industry finds itself developing
innovative solutions to deal with crises that we face every day in our
businesses. I am proud to say that our industry has responded enthusiastically
to the challenges we have been presented. We hope that by launching this year’s
award we will encourage industry leaders to find and opt for sustainable
solutions as we push our industry further into the future. We want to recognize
those that continue to inspire a more sustainable air cargo industry, in turn
making our industry more resilient.” Steven Polmans, Chairman, TIACA
A panel of independent industry and sustainability experts
will select the three shortlisted submissions in each category. The award
finalists will be invited to present their solutions at the Executive Summit in
San Francisco, CA, September 21-24, quite possibly the first event after the
world opens up after COVID-19.
