Towards achieving targets set for our five-year Environment Strategy Roadmap, five Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are aligned to our efforts towards environmental consciousness:
GOAL 6: Clean Water And Sanitation
Improve water quality, ensure sustainable water withdrawals by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimising the release of hazardous chemicals while increasing the safe reuse and recycling of water.
GOAL 7: Affordable And Clean Energy
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy services for all and increase the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities And Communities
Provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all while reducing environmental impact arising from improved connectivity.
GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption And Production
Ensure sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources by reducing waste generation, promoting sustainable procurement practices and integrating sustainability into business practices.
GOAL 13: Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and strengthen resilience in responding to climate-related hazards and natural disasters.
Operating our airports with an environmental consciousness is vital for our organisation and several measures have been taken to support the SDGs:
Optimising Energy Consumption
Supported by our Energy Policy, our airports continue to benefit from the energy savings initiatives implemented as part of the Environment Strategy Roadmap. The initiatives have improved our electricity consumption efficiency since its implementation.
Despite a 6.93% year-on-year increase in total electricity consumption across all of our airports in 2018 compared to 2017, we managed to reduce our electricity consumption per passenger from 5.68 kWh/passenger since the implementation of our Roadmap in 2016 to 5.30 kWh/passenger in 2018.
We strive to not just improve our environmental performance but also to deliver an added value to the experience of our guests by providing an environmentally-conscious and eco-friendly journey through our airports.
