Same procedure as every year, Miss Sophie! And why not, if it works well and is worthwhile? Talk is of TIACA’s Sustainability Awards, now heading into their 6th consecutive year, and – as with every passing year – once more sponsored by CHAMP Cargosystems. In fact, the software expert has this time confirmed that it will remain the exclusive sponsor all the way through to 2029, thus offering welcome continuity and stability for what has – to date – been an inspiring highlight at TIACA’s Executive Summits. This announcement last week also heralded the start of the application period (which runs until 30APR25) for all those hoping to win either the Corporate Prize (awarded to ‘an established corporation, international organization’ or well-known cargo community scholar) or one of the Start-Up and Small Business Prizes (The main winner takes home USD 10,000 and each of the two runners-up receives USD 2,500.) Following evaluation by a panel of industry experts, shortlisted companies/organizations or individuals are invited to present their sustainability solutions/projects at the TIACA Executive Summit in Hong Kong, which is scheduled for 24-26JUN25. The audience then participates in the final voting and the winners are announced that same day.
Steven Polmans, TIACA Chair, stated: “We are thrilled to have CHAMP Cargosystems continue their support of the annual Sustainability awards. This continued partnership underscores our strong commitment to driving environmental responsibility and innovation within our industry.”
Chris McDermott, CEO at CHAMP Cargosystems, agreed: “It’s a pleasure to continue our sponsorship of the TIACA Sustainability Awards, an initiative we have supported for over six years. Forging a sustainable future for air cargo is a crucial priority that can only be achieved through shared values, strong partnerships, and continuous innovation. We look forward to seeing this year’s entries and creating a more sustainable air cargo industry.”
TIACA’s Director General, Glyn Huhges, lauded: “The continued cooperation between TIACA and CHAMP Cargosystems shows a strong commitment to a sustainable air cargo industry. We look forward to seeing the innovations that the industry is working on that will impact our industry and push us toward a more sustainable future.”
