NEW YORK, June 5, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) has partnered with SimpliFlying to launch a new program for global airlines called APEX Greener powered by SimpliFlying. The program aims to reduce aviation industry's carbon footprint and alleviate the impact of air travel on the environment, while helping airlines choose greener products without adding costs.
This program is offered by APEX for free to both APEX and IFSA (International Flight Services Association) airline members and provides a shared airline industry database of in-flight airline products and their APEX Greener rating. Every in-flight airline product is examined across its complete lifecycle: sustainable sourcing, production emissions, benefits of any weight reduction, the amount of recycled material used, recyclability, and end-of-life disposal. Technology developed by Finch, which uses a scoring system powered by top scientific research and unique insights, allows this program to assess and certify sustainable products with a degree of accuracy and effectiveness that has never been done in the aviation industry.
"Aviation is not green, but we all have a responsibility to make it greener," APEX/IFSA CEO Dr. Joe Leader stated. "APEX Greener powered by SimpliFlying is a step in the right direction by focusing our airlines on in-flight products that are better for both our industry and our world. APEX Greener eliminates redundant airline sustainability verification expenses by fully leveraging our ability to openly share information as a trade association."
"Airlines seeking to build trust with customers conscious about sustainability will benefit from this program by choosing products that enhance the passenger experience through greener in-flight products," added SimpliFlying CEO, Shashank Nigam.
APEX Greener powered by SimpliFlying is designed to meet the latest EU standards for green certification labelling, with in-depth details behind every unique QR product code. In addition, all certified products are highlighted to airlines in the APEX Aircraft Interiors Database powered by CAPA-Centre of Aviation, which is the world's most trusted source of market intelligence for the aviation and travel industry, ultimately helping airlines decide which greener products to use and promote to their passengers.
