Business Group Logistics UK has named AIPUT (Airport Industrial Property Unit Trust) the Air Business of the Year at its annual Logistics Awards, held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge on Thursday 7 December 2023.
AIPUT’s industry-leading Pathway to Net Zero strategy commits the fund to achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2040. This is an industry exemplar in the drive to decarbonise the UK’s airport industrial real estate and airfreight ground operations ahead of the UK’s net zero target date of 2050. Working as a preferred partner with local businesses, customers and partners, the fund promotes industry-leading environmental performance and works with customers and partners to explore how wider benefits can be achieved.
David Wells OBE, Chief Executive at Logistics UK commented: “AIPUT is a well-deserved winner of this award, providing a great example of collaboration to achieve net zero. It is encouraging to see that its net zero strategy includes re-use and refurbishment and not just a focus on new. AIPUT truly represents the best of the best, and we are delighted to name it Air Business of the Year.”
