Hong Kong's airport authority published its
latest Sustainability Report last week, outlining the
sustainability performance of Hong Kong International Airport
(HKIA) in the fiscal year ending 31 March 2022.
The report marks 10 years of sustainability
reporting which highlights in itself the airport's commitment to
becoming the world’s greenest and most transparent airport.
Highlights of the Sustainability Report 2021/22
include:
- Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) received an inaugural rating of 74 out of
100 for its environmental, social and governance performance from
Standard & Poor Global Ratings (S&P), reflecting what S&P
describes as AAHK’s “good capabilities to address its moderate yet
growing environmental and social exposure, and focus on
maintaining its capacity to navigate potential disruptions”.
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)
- HKIA Decarbonisation Roadmap to 2035 was
developed to provide an overarching framework for the combined
carbon reduction efforts of AAHK and its business partners to
deliver a 55% reduction in absolute emissions across the airport
by 2035 against a 2018 baseline, as a midpoint target to achieve
net zero carbon in 2050.
- AAHK launched a new Climate Adaptation and
Resilience Plan while continuing to report on its strategy and
efforts for climate change risk mitigation and resilience in its
second Task Force on Climate-related Finance Disclosures (TCFD)
Statement, with strengthened disclosures on sustainability
governance structure.
- Green Airport Design and Construction Strategy
offers a consistent approach for embedding green design principles
and sustainable construction techniques in projects undertaken by
AAHK and its partners.
- Hong Kong International Aviation Academy’s new
campus came into service to support the development of the
industry.
- A Sustainable Finance Transactions Annual Report
was incorporated in the report for the first time, providing
details on the use of proceeds as well as the estimated impacts of
AAHK’s inaugural green bond issued in January 2022.
- The Sustainability Report 2021/22 explicitly
aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for
the first time through a comprehensive mapping exercise.
