Hong Kong, 23 March 2026 – Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT), a subsidiary of SATS Ltd, has achieved the IATA ISP Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) certification, reinforcing the strength of its sustainability management framework and alignment with internationally recognised environmental standards.

Developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), ISP IEnvA is a globally recognised environmental certification that independently assesses how sustainability is embedded across organisational governance, operational control, and management processes, with an emphasis on systematic management and continuous improvement.

“Given the scale and round-the-clock nature of our operations, we can drive meaningful change through integrating sustainability into our daily operations at every level.” said Mike Chew, CEO of AAT. “Achieving the certification validates the maturity of our environmental management framework and the measurable progress we have delivered across decarbonisation, infrastructure and governance. It reflects our determination to lead responsibly while maintaining operational excellence.”

Sustainability at AAT is governed through a robust, multi‑tiered framework spanning the Board, senior management, a cross‑functional Sustainability Committee and company‑wide execution teams. This governance structure provides oversight of environmental compliance obligations, performance targets and risk management, ensuring accountability at every level of the organisation. Anchored in operational decarbonisation and resource efficiency, AAT’s strategy is underpinned by terminal‑wide initiatives including energy‑efficient infrastructure upgrades, fleet electrification, the deployment of Autonomous Electric Tractors and adoption of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). Delivering measurable results, these initiatives have collectively reduced emissions by 33% from a 2018 baseline, advancing AAT’s pathway to net‑zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“IATA congratulates AAT on achieving the certification,” said Marie Owens Thomsen, Senior Vice President Sustainability & Chief Economist, IATA. “By adopting a structured and internationally aligned environmental management framework, AAT demonstrates how sustainability can be advanced in a practical and measurable way while supporting resilient and efficient air cargo operations.”

The ISP IEnvA certification complements AAT’s portfolio of international standards and industry accreditations, reinforcing its role as a forward‑looking cargo terminal operator actively supporting the long‑term competitiveness and sustainability of Hong Kong as a global air cargo hub.

Wendy Loh, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing of SATS Ltd, received the certification
