Last month we joined with over 180 colleagues across the industry for the 5th annual edition of our Sustainable Aviation Summit, where we also marked NACO’s 75th anniversary. Together, we explored the theme ‘Creating cross-sector collaboration’. Our goal? To work towards a sustainable future in aviation, together.
This session explored the various drivers of airlines’ sustainability strategies based on a number of specific cases. This was complemented by workshop discussions around how implementation triggers issues such as aligning sustainability targets with the operational/financial performance of the airline and best practices in terms of communicating sustainability initiatives to the public.
This workshop looked at the sustainability goals of airports and the challenges in achieving them. The discussion centred around the potential of cross-sector collaboration in identifying solutions to those challenges.
This session explored the opportunities and challenges related to the implementation of a circular building resource hub. Together, participants created a lifecycle map under the theme of cross-collaboration that tracked the processing of circular building materials. The aim? To gain a deeper understanding of our transition from a linear ''Take-Make-Waste'' to a circular economy within the construction industry.
This workshop stream looked at the importance of effective, collaborative stakeholder engagement. Participants explored some of the challenges faced in the process and how they could be overcome.
