GreenPath® and ISO 14001

Garnering the coveted ISO 14001

Delaware North Companies Travel Hospitality Services became what is believed to be the first airport concessionaire to earn International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 registration when Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport passed its ISO audit. Delaware North implemented GreenPath® in the airport in 2008.

With the ISO 14001 registrations of Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and Nashville International Airport, Delaware North Companies Travel Hospitality Services has taken airport concessionaires’ environmental management efforts to a new level.

“The systematic ISO 14001:2004 approach requires the organization to take a hard look at all areas where its activities have an environmental impact. And it can lead to benefits like the following:

• Reduced cost of waste management
• Savings in consumption of energy and materials
• Lower distribution costs
• Improved corporate image among regulators, customers and the public
• Framework for continual improvement of environmental performance.”
