The organization is deeply involved in multiple industry topics such as airport sustainability, aviation security, and operational efficiency.

ACI EUROPE plays a pivotal role in promoting the airport industry’s commitment to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. They also oversee the Airport Carbon Accreditation program, the only carbon management certification standard endorsed for airports.
