ABSTRACT
“The IATA Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) program is an evaluation system designed to independently assess and improve the environmental management of an airline. IEnvA is a voluntary program based on principles in compliance with environmental obligations and a commitment to continually improve environmental management. IEnvA provides airlines, aircraft maintenance services, on-board catering services and ground handlers definitive guidance, aligned with internationally accepted management standards to effectively address the most significant environmental sustainability matters that face the aviation industry today.” The same aspects apply to inland waterways vessels, but specific aspects outside the control of the operator may be taken into account, e.g., access to or congestion of waterways impacting on performance.
