About

The BlueSky Program is a tool that the air cargo industry can use to track their sustainability progress, benchmark against peers and accelerate the industry’s transformation. The BlueSky Assessment Program can be taken as a individual organization, or as part of a airline community-based approach. BlueSky Certificate of Completion is valid for two years.

Assessment Guidelines (pdf) – A way for companies to begin their verification and validation through awareness and self-assessment while prepping on how to answer the questionnaire, submit evidence, and understand their dashboards.
Desktop Verification –begins with an online assessment of mostly yes or no questions that if answered yes, will require the organization to submit evidence to validate that ‘yes’. Then, a third-party neutral assessor will provide a verification of the documents provided. Once all evidence has been submitted, a performance score in each area will be provided through a company dashboard and a spider gram will be available to view results of a verified dashboard, and a potential dashboard.
