23 Abril 2024 - 12:09PM
Aviation sustainability solution leader, 4AIR, has been honored
with a coveted Environment+Energy Top Project of the Year Award.
For more than a decade, the E+E Leader Awards program identifies
and praises excellence and innovation in products and projects that
are making meaningful contributions to a more sustainable and
responsible business landscape. The judging panel is comprised of
renowned energy and sustainability experts as well as well-known
industry consultants.
E+E recognized 4AIR’s sustainability aviation solutions to be
exceptional for their contribution in the Environmental Impact
program, setting a benchmark for innovation and sustainability in
the category. By taking a comprehensive approach to sustainability
and making it more accessible, 4AIR’s solutions reduce the cost of
decarbonizing aviation. Its industry-leading voluntary ratings set
the highest benchmark for environmental action and make it
accessible on a per flight hour basis while the Assure SAF Registry
makes it easier and more transparent to use sustainable aviation
fuel.
Judges said of the 4AIR program:
- “Decarbonizing the aviation sector is a key challenge to solve,
and this solution seems like it can have a great impact on that
goal, as well as reduce the cost of SAF, which will be crucial to
its uptake.”
- “Engaging with fuel producers, suppliers, FBOs, end-users and
environmental and industry associations creates an innovation model
for concerned industry stakeholders.”
- “Lays out a solution to a pressing problem: decarbonizing
aviation. Addresses and tries to reduce costs, while anticipating
and addressing credibility concerns as SAFs scale up.”
Past winners of the E+E Leader Award for Environmental Impact
include the United Airlines Eco-Skies Alliance, the Honeywell
Upcycling Plastic Recycling Technology, the Lockheed Martin
Sikorsky water project, and Marriott International’s Sustainability
Roadmap.

Judge’s Feedback on 4AIR:
- “There are many good things to say about this project, and it
truly does seem to be on the leading edge and addresses a market
gap. That said, it also feels like it’s in its relatively early
stages - with much more potential. I believe my scores will push it
into an award category - but I also think this will be an even
stronger submission in the years to come with more concrete metrics
that can be reported.”
- “The sustainable mission and undertaking of this project are
impressive. The attention to reducing the impact of marketing
materials and environmental footprint also shows a commitment to
sustainable practices. Although the use of verified carbon offsets
is sometimes deemed controversial - offsetting a company’s entire
carbon footprint via offsets and company attributes is nonetheless
commendable!”
- “The metrics listed here are important and impressive, even in
their early stages. The established partnerships appear to be key
for the future adoption of SAF. I predict these numbers/metrics
will only improve.”
- “Engaging with fuel producers, suppliers, FBOs, end-users, and
environmental and industry associations creates an Innovation model
for the concerned industry stakeholders.”
- “Lays out a solution to a pressing problem: decarbonizing
aviation. Addresses and tries to reduce costs, while anticipating
and addressing credibility concerns as SAFs scale up.”
