THE Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (AATT) has received top honour at the 15th Annual National Excellence in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Awards.
The event was hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (AMCHAM T&T) at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad on Monday.
The award recognises entities that forge HSE excellence through the implementation of impactful projects.
The Authority was hailed for its commitment to sustainability, safety leadership, accountability and continuous improvement.
AATT scored first place in the Services – Large Company Category for its Outstanding OSH and Environment Project, a 0.5 MW Solar Park at the Piarco International Airport funded by the European Union.
A release by the AATT on Wednesday stated that the Solar Park, launched in February 2024, “represents the first commercial-scale, ground-mounted solar park in Trinidad and Tobago.”
The initiative produces approximately 1.2 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually and has already mitigated an estimated 660 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.”
AATT stated, “This award not only highlights the Authority’s dedication to environmental sustainability and operational excellence but also underscores its contribution towards Trinidad and Tobago’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to advancing initiatives in creating “a safer, greener and more sustainable future” in the aviation sector and wider nation.
