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”.
