Airports and airlines are at the forefront of Canada’s low-carbon transportation transition, and the expectations from regulators, airlines, passengers, and municipal partners have never been higher. At Synergy, we bring deep, hands-on experience working with airports of all sizes, from regional gateways to major international hubs, to build carbon management programs that are credible, efficient, and built to last.
Corporate Sustainability Management for Airports
We don’t just hand you a report; we work alongside your team to turn your sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes that unlock certifications, attract investment, and demonstrate real climate leadership in your community. Our team supports airports through our Corporate Sustainability Management services, and we also offer the following specialized services for airports and aviation:
Airports & Aviation Specific Services
ACA Verification
Many of our team members are approved ACA verifiers and can support your airport’s ACA Levels 1-3+ applications. Our verification services ensure your airport’s sustainability practices are accurately assessed and validated in alignment with ACA program guidance, supporting your application or renewal to the ACA program and commitment to environmental excellence.
ACA Consulting
Our team can provide expert guidance on meeting ACA requirements, as we have extensive experience supporting airports of all sizes with their ACA commitments. We can provide your airport with custom tools and templates to make data management more efficient and accurate. We also offer support for Carbon Management Plans ( a requirement of Level 2 and beyond), Stakeholder Engagement Plans (a requirement of Level 3 and beyond), and Scope 3 GHG Emissions data collection and calculations.
Corporate Sustainability Strategy
Synergy has supported airports across the globe to develop strategic sustainability plans in alignment with ESG, international sustainability targets, and the UN SDGs. We work closely with your team to craft a tailored sustainability strategy in alignment with your master plan and sustainability goals.
Carbon Accounting Services
We partner with your team to accurately measure and report Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14001. Our hands-on approach and custom measurement tools take the heavy lifting off your team while producing custom, easy-to-read reports. This comprehensive process lays the groundwork for all future sustainability efforts.
Decarbonization Strategy & Planning
While technology and fuels continue to advance, aviation companies and airports are looking for strategic roadmaps and assessments to determine decarbonization opportunities. We offer three levels of decarbonization assessments to match the size and complexity of your operations.
Our assessments include:
- Identifying top decarbonization opportunities across the organization’s operations
- Measuring the potential carbon reductions and associated costs
- Creating optional pathways to reach climate targets The outcome is a practical assessment that helps inform future budgets, infrastructure planning, and broader operational and strategic planning.
Solar Feasibility Studies
With airport growth driving demand for electrification, operators are seizing the opportunity to turn unused land into energy generation hubs. We assess the feasibility of solar projects, analyzing costs, ROI, and key considerations for projects of any scale. From ground-mounted systems to rooftop installations, we deliver clear insights to help you capitalize on solar energy and optimize your airport’s operations.
