The Heliport of Monaco is the first heliport in the world to be accredited as carbon neutral.

As part of the Climate Energy Plan, Marie-Pierre Gramaglia, Government Advisor – Minister of Equipment, Environment and Urban Planning, set out last year to obtain accreditation from the Airport Council International Europe (www.aci-europe.org/).

Also, the Directorate of Civil Aviation, in collaboration with the Directorate of the Environment, set up a program in 2017 to achieve carbon neutrality.

Through this approach, the Director of Civil Aviation, also in charge of managing the Heliport, has committed to significantly reduce the GHG emitted by the structure.

The program currently has 189 accredited airports around the world. The Heliport of Monaco has recently received its carbon accreditation: it is the first heliport to get it.

For the record, the Climate Energy Plan, implemented since 2014, is an action plan mobilizing all the services of the Prince’s Government to reduce GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency and develop renewable energies.

A special moment took place in the exclusive setting of 39 Club Monte Carlo during the Monaco Yacht Show: the ‘Yacht Investor Days’ event hosted by Investor Media.

As always, many partners contributed, including Silver Arrows Marine, Kryptos-X, Marinepool and also the non-profit organisation SheCanHeCan.

SheCanHeCan is a Monaco-based association whose main objective is to support and encourage girls to take on leadership roles. Their missions are aimed at encouraging children to reach their full potential independent of social stereotypes, such as their gender.

They also work to recognise the achievements of women throughout “herstory”. For more information about this association, committed to redefining leadership, you can consult the website.
