ACA AIRPORT CARBON ACCREDITATION 

Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) is a certification standard created by ACI Europe to manage and reduce carbon emissions of airports. The program evaluates airports independently and awards them with one of six levels of accreditation based on their efforts to minimize carbon emissions. 

Normec Verifavia’s auditors are distinguished by ACI Europe (Airports Council International Europe) and WSP Environment & Energy as certified independent third-party verifiers under the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program.  

This accreditation empowers Normec Verifavia to provide verification services to airports seeking ACA recognition across all levels (1, 2, 3, 3+, 4, 4+), including the newest level 5, reinforcing its critical role in advancing carbon management and reduction initiatives in the aviation industry. 

Adhering strictly to ISO 14064-3 standards and the GHG (Green House Gases) Protocol, Normec Verifavia ensures that airports align with the ACA program’s rigorous guidelines, facilitating accurate greenhouse gas emissions reporting and effective mitigation strategies.
