Approach to Environmental Management

Our pledge to become the world’s greenest airport serves as a goal and a driver to continuously improve HKIA’s environmental performance. Recognising that a significant proportion of HKIA’s footprint is derived from our airport business partners, we work closely with them, evolving our best practice airport-wide approach to develop solutions to environmental issues that are both easy to implement and deliver real value. AAHK administers a range of programmes to reduce HKIA’s environmental footprint in carbon and energy management, waste and biodiversity.

At the wider aviation industry level, AAHK participates in the global dialogue supporting the sustainable development of aviation and airports. We work closely with airports and trade associations, including as Chair of the Airports Council International (ACI) World Environment Standing Committee and representation on the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee. We actively promote our unique airport-wide approach, as we believe this is practical and effective tool to facilitate the accelerated reduction of footprint at airports, especially where many key operational functions are outsourced. These strategic partnerships enable us to collaborate on and build capacity to meet our global challenges.
