In 2018, the group was the first in France to obtain Airport Carbone Accreditation level 3+, certifying its carbon neutrality by offsetting its residual emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, it will begin reforestation operations, either directly on its own property for the Golfe de Saint-Tropez airport, or in neighboring communes for the Cannes-Mandelieu and Nice C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur airports. This step, unprecedented in France, creates natural carbon sinks, absorbing up to 300 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year as the trees grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, between 2018 and 2019, a decisive step was taken, as all three hubs managed to reduce their direct emissions in absolute terms: -4.4% for Nice-C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, -20% for Cannes-Mandelieu and -27% for Golfe de Saint-Tropez airport. Fewer emissions, despite traffic growth, more absorption, directly on their territories: A\u00e9roports de la C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur is now the first airport in France to obtain the brand-new, and most demanding, Airport Carbon Accreditation level 4+, and the 2nd in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8221;  <em>Obtaining Airport Carbon Accreditation level 4+ is not a medal, and even less a false nose for greenwashing. This is international recognition of a sincere commitment and an ambitious, unprecedented action plan. When we reduce our direct emissions, in absolute terms, we preserve our territory. This involves numerous actions, the implementation of innovations and the daily search for solutions to reconcile air transport with air quality requirements.<\/em>  &#8220;Franck Goldnadel, Chairman of the Board of A\u00e9roports de la C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00e9roports de la C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, which has just been awardedAirport Carbone Accreditation level 4+, is now aiming for full carbon neutrality without offsetting by 2030.
