Two more airports operated by Swedavia have just achieved Level 5 of Airport Carbon Accreditation, confirming Swedavia’s position as one of the global leaders in carbon management. This achievement brings the total number of Level 5 accredited airports worldwide to 18.

BRUSSELS – Swedavia further solidified its position as one of the global pioneers in aviation’s decarbonisation with Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Ronneby Airport achieving Level 5, the highest level in the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. As a result, four of Swedavia’s ten airports now hold the highest level of climate certification – following Göteborg Landvetter Airport and Malmö Airport which reached Level 5 in December 2023. Swedavia’s remaining six airports are on track to attain the top certification level by 2026, as part of its strategic commitment to achieve decarbonisation across all scopes by 2050.

Olivier Jankovec, Director General of ACI Europe said: “I am thrilled by Swedavia’s accrediting two more airports at Level 5 including Sweden’s largest hub – a truly remarkable accomplishment. By achieving and maintaining a net zero balance for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and also tackling Scope 3 emissions through strong third-party engagement, Stockholm Arlanda and Ronneby airports are now amongst the 18 pioneers worldwide to reach this level of carbon management. This makes Swedavia stand out as a leading and shining example of how airports are not just committed to net zero, but actually working hard to deliver on this commitment. This does not come as a surprise as Swedavia was already the first airport operator globally to certify all its airports at Neutrality level back in 2010.”

Jonas Abrahamsson, President and CEO of Swedavia said: “It is really gratifying that with the certification of Arlanda and Ronneby, Swedavia has now four of its ten airports certified at the highest level within the Airport Carbon Accreditation framework. This shows that we continue to lead the way and have chosen to invest in aviation’s absolutely vital climate transition for sustainable air travel. This certification is the result of our long-term efforts, where we have taken a holistic approach to the entire ecosystem of the airports and also involved our partners in the transition. Of the 18 Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 5 airports worldwide, Swedavia has four.”
