Avianca Airlines ranked among best airlines in Latin America for climate change management

On World Environment Day, Avianca Airlines announced that it was recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project as one of the best airlines in Latin America for its climate change management. On this occasion, the airline obtained a "B" rating, one of the highest scores awarded by the international organization. This result follows a rigorous evaluation of the airline's actions concerning climate change, including governance, risk and opportunities, business strategy, objectives and behavior, methodology and emissions data, energy, biodiversity and carbon pricing, among other items. In addition, Avianca announced today that it received ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification for its administrative buildings in Bogota and aircraft maintenance and ground support equipment in Medellin, Ecuador and El Salvador. Although the airline industry represents an impact of only 3% of global emissions, Avianca, as well as the airline industry as a whole, takes action for the environment and seeks to improve the results of its operations. Among the company's initiatives are its efforts to reduce its environmental footprint through investment in new technologies, infrastructure and efficient operations, as well as the implementation of strategies to offset emissions. In 2022 alone, the offset was 735,000 tons of CO2, corresponding to 90% of the emissions generated by its domestic operations in Colombia. Avianca has also partnered with CHOOOSE, a platform that has allowed both customers and Avianca employees to directly offset the footprint of their flights.<br/>
