Air Cargo News Opens Entries for Environment Category at ACN Awards 2026

The prestigious Air Cargo News Awards, organised by Air Cargo News, are once again inviting industry leaders to showcase their sustainability efforts by entering the Environment category for 2026. As environmental concerns continue to shape the future of global logistics, this category highlights companies that have made meaningful strides toward reducing their ecological impact. Businesses across the air cargo sector are encouraged to submit entries that demonstrate measurable improvements in sustainability over the past 12 months.

Recognising Leadership in Sustainability

Sponsored by dnata, the Environment category honours organisations that have actively worked to reduce emissions and minimise waste within their operations or across their supply chains. The award places strong emphasis on practical, results-driven initiatives that contribute to greener logistics practices.

In 2025, the award was presented to DHL Express, a global leader known for its ambitious sustainability programmes. Its recognition underscores the growing importance of environmental accountability in the air cargo industry and sets a benchmark for future entrants.

Key Criteria for Judging

To stand out in this competitive category, applicants must provide clear and compelling evidence of their environmental initiatives. Judges will be particularly interested in submissions that demonstrate one or more of the following:

Emission and Waste Reduction Efforts: Entrants should outline specific actions taken to lower carbon emissions or reduce waste throughout their logistics operations or supply chain.
Customer Engagement and Feedback: Companies are encouraged to show how clients have responded to sustainability initiatives, including participation, feedback, or increased demand for green solutions.
Measurement and Verification: Strong entries will include data-backed results, highlighting how environmental improvements are tracked, measured, and verified over time.

Supporting materials such as statistics, case studies, and testimonials will significantly strengthen submissions by providing credibility and transparency.

A Legacy of Excellence in Air Cargo

Now in its 42nd year, the Air Cargo News Awards continue to celebrate innovation, resilience, and excellence across the industry. The event recognises outstanding achievements in ten distinct categories, covering a wide range of contributions—from cutting-edge logistics solutions to technological advancements and service excellence.

The awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, at the elegant Royal Lancaster London. This annual gathering brings together key stakeholders, industry leaders, and innovators to honour the best in air cargo.

Important Dates and How to Enter

Companies interested in participating must submit their entries by 29 May 2026 at 17:00 BST. Detailed information on the application process, including entry guidelines and requirements, is available through the official awards platform. A free entry guide is also provided to assist applicants in preparing strong submissions.

Early preparation is recommended, as high-quality entries typically require detailed documentation and supporting evidence to meet the judging criteria effectively.
