CANSO GreenATM

Recognising Environmental Leadership in Air Traffic Management (ATM)

“GreenATM turns environmental ambition into measurable action, recognising leadership today while challenging our industry to continually raise the bar for tomorrow.”

Simon Hocquard, President and CEO, CANSO

The CANSO GreenATM Accreditation Programme is the global benchmark for recognising and advancing environmental excellence among Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). Developed by CANSO in collaboration with Think Research, GreenATM provides an independent, industry-endorsed assessment of an ANSP’s environmental performance, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable ATM and continuous improvement.

GreenATM evaluates both the environmental initiatives that reduce the aviation industry’s operational emissions, through more efficient airspace and ATM operations and the actions organisations take to minimise their own environmental footprint. Participants are assessed across a comprehensive range of areas, including governance, operational performance, infrastructure, greenhouse gas emissions management and integration of environmentally responsible behaviours into organisational culture, with accreditation awarded across five progressive levels of environmental maturity.

More than an accreditation, GreenATM provides ANSPs with a structured framework to benchmark performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and demonstrate environmental leadership to customers, regulators, governments, employees, and the wider aviation community. The programme supports organisations of all sizes and levels of environmental maturity, encouraging a culture of continuous improvement while recognising achievements along the journey.

As the global GreenATM community continues to grow, the programme is becoming an increasingly valuable platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the exchange of best practices. Accredited participants contribute to a collective effort to accelerate environmental innovation across the ATM industry and support aviation’s long-term sustainability objectives.

This website has been enhanced to better support the GreenATM community through:

• Recognition of accredited GreenATM participants and their accreditation achievements.
• Access to programme guidance and resources.
• Participant case studies and video testimonials showcasing environmental initiatives and lessons learned.
• Updates on programme developments, webinars, and opportunities to collaborate with fellow GreenATM participants.

Whether your organisation is beginning its sustainability journey or striving for the highest level of environmental performance, GreenATM provides the recognition, guidance, and collaborative community to help you achieve your environmental ambitions.

“Environmental performance is progressively part of how we define operational excellence in ATM. GreenATM gives ANSPs a clear pathway to strengthen that performance, demonstrate progress and learn from a growing global community.”
