In 2016, LAX became one of only 14 U.S. airports to be accredited through the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Program. VNY received accreditation the following year. The ACA program recognizes airports worldwide that have committed to managing their carbon footprint through measurement, reduction, and a goal of carbon neutrality.
