1. Introduction: Managing HKIA’s Environmental Footprint
1.1. Background
AAHK is statutory body that is wholly owned by the Hong Kong Government. It has a
vision of being a world-class corporation and a leader in airport management and
aviation-related business and in contributing to the prosperity of Hong Kong.
AAHK is committed to best practice environmental management and to being a leading
environmental performer in Hong Kong. The Corporate Environmental Policy was
established in 2008 and updated in April 2015 (Appendix A).
In May 2012 the senior management of AAHK (AA) and its business partners pledged,
with the endorsement of the Transport and Housing Bureau, that HKIA would become
the world’s greenest airport. This is an ongoing process that involves:
a. Measuring HKIA’s performance and benchmarking it against hub-sized airports
and environmental leaders among airports worldwide.
b. Developing, implementing and updating an environmental plan that includes best
practice environmental targets, strategies and actions to reduce the environmental
footprint (the natural resources consumed and the residual impacts) associated
with the development and operation of the airport.
c. Fully integrating this plan into AA’s wider corporate plans.
1.2. Key Environmental Principles
AA recognises that all of the goods and services consumed in the development and
operation of HKIA are derived from functional ecosystems. The sustainability of HKIA is
ultimately dependent on the continuing functionality of these ecosystems. AA’s approach
to environmental management needs to reflect this understanding by:
a. Proactively minimising harm to, protecting and restoring ecosystem function;
b. Identifying and ascribing an appropriate value to any externalised costs; and
c. Using the “polluter pays” principle to address these costs.
AA further recognises that the preferred order for implementing environmental
management options is: avoidance, reduction, mitigation, compensation.
1.3. The Business Case for Environmental Management
The business case for optimising AAHK’s environmental footprint fall into two categories:
a. Reducing the costs associated with developing and operating the airport. These
include the acquisition, maintenance, replacement and disposal of consumables
and infrastructure. Ideally, a full life cycle analysis, including all of the above factors,
4|Page
should be conducted to more accurately determine the cost of environmental
initiatives.
b. Minimising a range of operational, regulatory and reputational risks in order to:
i.
establish a more resilient operating environment,
ii.
meet current and future regulatory requirements,
iii.
meet and shape public expectations for environmental performance.
It is worth noting that public concerns regarding impacts on local biodiversity and
public health – even where projects comply with regulatory requirements – are the
principal causes for delay in securing approval for major infrastructure projects in
Hong Kong. As a result, the value of investing in reducing risks to HKIA around
regulation and the “social licence to operate and grow” is significant.
2. Scope of the Environmental Plan
This plan addresses the following environmental aspects:
1. Climate change / carbon reduction
7.
Ecology and biodiversity
2. Energy saving
8.
Engagement
3. Green procurement and retailing
9.
Noise
4. Air quality
10. New development
5. Waste management
11. Environmental management systems
6. Water usage
2.1. Collaboration
AA is not solely responsible for its environmental footprint. Airlines and ground services
equipment operators burn fuel that generates carbon and toxic emissions; retailers and
caterers consume natural resources to provide food and goods at the airport, and every
organisation operating at HKIA uses electricity and generates waste. As a result, AA
collaborates closely with its suppliers, business partners, passengers, regulators, local
communities and environmental NGOs and other stakeholders to reduce HKIA’s
environmental footprint.
2.2. Developing and Updating the Environmental Plan
All of AA’s environmental goals should meet the key environmental principles and serve
the business objectives described above. At times, the requirement for attainment of an
environmental footprint reduction target may conflict with operational requirements, or
the financial objectives of AA or its business partners. In such circumstances AAHK will:
a. Seek the views of internal and external stakeholders that may be affected;
5|Page
b. Set performance standards that allow flexibility and encourage innovation in the
approach for achieving compliance;
c. Allow lead time that respects investment cycles;
d. Provide the necessary infrastructure to enable compliance, where appropriate;
e. Secure the endorsement of AA’s senior management for amendments to the
plan; and
f. Monitor the outcome of the measures and adapt the plan accordingly.
Appendix D outlines the Plan Review Process for the relevant departments to follow.
3. Transformation of the plan to a five-year cycle
In October 2012, ENVT conducted a review to assess the progress of the measures
proposed in the first version of this Plan. This review also took into consideration
AAHK’s new target to become the world’s greenest airport. The plan was subsequently
modified and the scope was expanded to make it the principal tool employed by AAHK
to achieve the world’s greenest airport objective.
In 2014, environmental planning was switched from a three-year to a five-year cycle in
order to ensure that environmental considerations are embedded into AAHK’s corporate
planning and master planning cycles from the outset. The scope of the plan was also
expanded to cover collaboration with AAHK’s airport business partners in order to
further enhance our ability to become world’s greenest airport.
4. Implementation and Ongoing Monitoring
Each department is required to:
a. Work with ENVT to establish a list of specific measures to reduce HKIA’s
environmental footprint, taking into consideration the five year business plan and
the current Masterplan;
b. Monitor its progress in implementing those measures throughout the year;
c. Provide quarterly progress reports to ENVT;
d. Report status in the quarterly AA Environmental Coordination Group;
ENVT is required to:
a. Conduct an annual review of the Plan to assess AAHK’s progress in reducing its
environmental footprint;
b. Revise targets and the overall environmental strategy, where appropriate, in order
to drive continual improvement in AAHK’s environmental performance in pursuit of
the “greenest airport” objective;
c. Make reference to the relevant disclosures provided in the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and Airport Operators
Sector Disclosures when reviewing the Plan to facilitate the assessment and
reporting of environmental performance.
d. Consolidate quarterly updates and keep a copy of the most updated Plan.

5. Key Environmental Aspects
5.1
Climate change / carbon reduction
Background
In 2010, AAHK and the airport business partners committed to reduce airport-wide carbon
emissions by 25% per workload unit by 2015 compared to 2008 levels. AAHK actively seeks to
measure and manage the impact on climate change of its own operations as well as of its
business partners. It emerged in 2014/15 that HKIA is unique among large airports in adopting
an airport-wide approach to reducing carbon emissions, and given the success of this
programme, AAHK is exploring options for using the same approach to accelerate the rate of
footprint reduction in other environmental aspects.
AAHK has developed proprietary carbon audit software to track its emissions and actively
engages its business partners in completing annual carbon audits, identifying carbon reduction
initiatives and working to reduce their individual carbon footprints. Examples of these actions
can be found at: http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/csr/carbon-reduction/index.html
In 2014, HKIA’s carbon intensity decreased by 22.4% per workload unit when compared to
2008 level. Airport-wide carbon emission also dropped from approx. 390,000 tonnes in 2008 to
around 380,000 tonnes in 2014.
Potential drivers for change
 New business case for achieving new targets
 Potential introduction of national carbon charge or trading in China
Targets/commitments
 AAHK is signatory to the 2008 Aviation Industry Commitment to Action on Climate Change –
a long-term target to work towards carbon neutral growth.

5.2
Energy saving
Background
Energy savings are closely related to managing carbon emissions because the energy used by
the airport is principally derived by burning coal and gas for electricity generation. AAHK makes
every effort to reduce energy consumption at the airport. It has achieved significant reduction in
recent years from replacement of traditional lighting with LEDs and reconfiguration of its chillers.
AAHK’s electricity usage in 2014 was 278.8M kWh.
The chart below shows AAHK’s electricity consumption. Priorities for reducing energy use
focus on significant electricity demand areas including cooling and lighting systems. There is
also an ongoing need for replacement of fans, pumps and motors to maintain energy efficiency.
Remarks:


Electricity consumption includes AA's facilities such as Terminal 1, Terminal 2, North Satellite Concourse, SkyPier, HKIA
Tower, Airport World Trade Centre, etc
SkyPier 2 and NSC came into operation since Sep 2009 and Nov 2009 respectively
Potential drivers of change
 Financial savings – there is a direct dollar saving for every reduction in energy usage.
 Reduction in carbon emissions attributable to AA’s operations.
Targets/Commitment
 Meet World Business Council on Sustainable Development Building Energy Efficiency
Pledge by 2015.
 Develop an energy management system in line with the principles of ISO 50001:2011 and
work towards future certification by 2017.

Green procurement and retailing
Background
A key component of reducing HKIA’s environmental footprint is minimising wherever possible
the quantity and impacts of materials sourced by AAHK and its business partners. This can
include raw materials for construction such as concrete, wood and steel, or consumables such
as paper and packaging, or low-VOC paints. AAHK has been a founding member of the Hong
Kong Green Purchasing Charter since 2007. A Corporate Green Purchasing Policy was
developed in 2008 (Appendix B) and a revised version was drafted in 2015 and is awaiting
senior management approval.
 To align with HKSAR’s initiatives in conserving resources and reduction of waste.
 To actively manage our supply chain to fulfill GRI G4 reporting requirements
 PR opportunities for retailers who participate in AAHK award schemes.
 Recognition for best practice for AAHK.
Targets
 To further enhance the environmental performance of the supply chain through tightening of
environmental requirements in contract document.
 To continue the HKIA Environmental Management Recognition Scheme for retailers and
restaurants at terminal buildings that encourages ownership of environmental targets by
tenants.
 To identify opportunities for engaging with business partners to develop new initiatives for
environmental footprint reduction.

5.4
Air quality
Background
HKIA’s operations are an identified source of air pollution. Toxic pollutants can be harmful to
airport workers and passengers, and may also affect the wider community, especially those
living close to the airport. The combustion, storage and delivery of fossil fuels are the principal
sources of air pollution at HKIA. As other major emissions sources such as marine vessels and
road vehicles are reduced, HKIA is expected to come under increasing scrutiny and pressure to
reduce emissions.
HKIA continuously tracks outdoor air quality through two airport monitoring stations and a third
control station on Sha Chau. The data collected helps AAHK to monitor regional air quality and
track the progress of pollution reduction initiatives.
Since 2013, AAHK has commissioned experts from the Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology (HKUST) to develop inventories of emissions from key sources including airside
vehicles and GSE, aircraft landing and take-off (LTO) emissions, landside vehicles serving the
airport and ferries moving passengers to and from the SkyPier.
 Background air quality in Hong Kong is currently so poor that it represents a potential
constraint to future airport development.
 New measures proposed by the Environment Bureau to accelerate the retirement of diesel
commercial vehicles that are more than 15 years old.
 Meet commitments in EIA reports and associated Environmental Permit condition.
Targets
 Since July 2013, all new saloon cars in the Airport Restricted Area (ARA) must be electric.
 By July 2017, all petrol saloons in the ARA must be replaced by electric vehicles.

Waste management
Background
Effective waste management is an issue of concern both to the Hong Kong public and
Government, and to international airports. AAHK aims to reduce the absolute amount of waste
generated, and to promote recycling of waste through a number of active measures to
encourage separation of waste at source.
In 2014, the amount of landfill waste generated by AAHK’s operations was 343 grammes per
passenger (g/pax) while the amount of waste recycled increased by 2% from 47g/pax to
48g/pax.
AAHK also recycled 1,200 tonnes of food waste from AAHK and 20 business partners. This
raised the total amount of waste recycled by AAHK to 64g/pax. The following tables show
AAHK’s waste management performance over the last seven years.
In 2015 recognising that recycling rates flattened, AAHK commissioned a study of waste
management at HKIA that aims to apportion waste from various streams, determine the
composition of AAHK’s waste, review the waste target and propose measures to improve
recycling, reduction and monitoring of waste.
18 | P a g e
 To improve AA’s waste performance in comparison with other hub-sized airports worldwide.
 To help the Hong Kong SAR Government to tackle the waste to landfill challenge.
 To prepare AAHK for the introduction of a waste charging mechanism to be launched by the
Hong Kong SAR Government in 2018/19.
 Meet commitments in EIA reports and associated environmental permit condition.
 Determination of an emission factor for municipal solid waste would provide a driver for
reduction of carbon in waste.
Targets
 50% of all waste is recycled by 2021.
 To develop list of recommendations on waste management strategy and pilot charging
scheme.

Water usage
Background
Potable water usage has increased in importance as the need to respond to climate changeinduced water scarcity has become more widely accepted. HKIA’s innovative use of seawater
for toilet flushing and air cooling has positioned it among the global leaders in potable water
management. The inclusion of seawater in HKIA’s “triple water system” (potable water,
reclaimed water and seawater) also delivers substantial cost, energy and carbon savings over
more traditional “dual (potable and reclaimed) water systems”.
Treating and recycling grey water, which is required to meet government sewage and discharge
regulations, is costly and energy-intensive. AAHK’s grey water treatment plant has a daily
capacity of 6,000m3. In 2014, an average of 490m3 per day recycled water was used for
irrigation. Further uses are constrained by the quality of treated water, limited distribution
network for treated grey water, and the expense and operational difficulties in expanding this
network. Additional potential uses included new construction projects activities, vehicle washing
and additional irrigation.
In 2014 AAHK’s water usage was about 656,000 m3.
 Opportunity to secure and extend AAHK’s leadership position on water management among
comparably-sized airports.
 Upcoming major projects provide an opportunity to expand use of reclaimed water use in
construction or a decrease in the supply.
 Greater demand for water in the Pearl River Delta may lead to an increase in the cost or a
decrease in the supply of water in Hong Kong.
 Meet commitments in EIA reports and associated environmental permit conditions.
Targets
 Explore the increase usage of reclaimed water.
 To explore the source apportionment of water usage and to set a water reduction target.

Ecology and biodiversity
Background
AA’s development and operation can impact biodiversity both around the airport site, and further
afield, where extraction and processing of the materials required to build and operate the airport
occurs.
The loss of natural habitat associated with major engineering works is an inevitable part of
major infrastructure development. Key species affected include two globally threatened or
endemic species: Romer’s Tree Frog and Chinese White Dolphin. The whole airport community
has a duty of care towards these species.
On a wider level, the Hong Kong community has a duty of care towards species of which it is a
major consumer or a key influencer. This includes many marine species that are consumed and
traded through Hong Kong in globally significant numbers. Species of special concern include
sharks and live coral reef fish. Hong Kong is also a significant transit point for ivory, rhino horn,
pangolin, wild birds, all of which are unsustainably sourced and some of which are subject to
legal controls under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora (CITES).
 Impacts on Chinese White Dolphins are a potential constraint on development of future
operations requiring further reclamation.
 Tighter legislation following Hong Kong’s adoption the Convention on Biological Diversity.
 Protection of corporate reputation by avoiding or minimising consumption of unsustainablysourced natural products.
Target
 To develop a Biodiversity Management Strategy and thereafter a HKIA Conservation Action
Plan.

Engagement
Background
Engagement with key stakeholders is an important part of the process of implementing changes
that will reduce the environmental footprint of the airport. While engagement is not itself an
environmental aspect, it is the principal tool in securing the necessary support to implement
footprint reduction measures for every environmental aspect.
ENVT meets with four distinct stakeholder groups, each with a different purpose:





Implementing departments within AAHK – to implement internal footprint reduction
actions and manage relationships with business partners.
HKIA business partners – to review environmental management plans and to develop
workable footprint reduction strategies on relevant environmental issues.
Environmental NGOs – to better understand and respond to public expectations, and to
learn of emerging technologies and approaches for footprint reduction.
EPD and other relevant departments of the HKSAR Government – to ensure AAHK
complies with and supports existing and upcoming legislation, policies and initiatives.
Local and international environmental associations – to learn from best practice, raise
and participate in discussions of interest for footprint reduction at HKIA.
ENVT organises general environmental training and NGO-organised and other green activities
for AAHK and airport community staff. It also arranges briefings and tours of environmental
facilities with relevant departments including TSD and T1D for visitors with a specific interest in
environmental issues.
AA has established a HKIA Environmental Fund and provides display areas at the airport for the
use of NGOs at no charge.
 Manage reputational risk and AA’s social license to operate and grow.
 Building a cordial relationship with NGOs and business partners.
 To start actively managing AA’s supply chain according to GRI G4 sustainability reporting
requirements.
Targets
 Quarterly meetings with implementing departments. (AA Environmental Coordination
Group).
 Quarterly meetings with business partners. (Airport Wide Environmental Forum).
 Half-yearly meetings with Environmental NGOs. (Environmental Liaison Group).
 At least 6 environmental training sessions for AAHK staff annually.

Noise
Background
Noise from aircraft operations is an issue of concern for Hong Kong residents living close to the
airport and flight path. Under Hong Kong law (Civil Aviation (Aircraft Noise) Ordinance Cap. 312)
responsibility for managing aircraft noise is the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Department
rather than AAHK. This is not widely understood by the public, and AAHK has had to respond to
numerous complaints from affected residents.
Airports in many other countries are directly accountable for noise associated with aircraft
operations, and have developed a range of measures to address the issue. This is because
airports were often built or close to large cities, and large numbers of residents were impacted,
or because airports are held responsible for aircraft noise under local or regional legislation.
Even though these conditions do not apply to HKIA, AAHK actively considers noise-related
issues in its own planning and in assessing the potential impacts of future infrastructure and
residential developments close to the flight path and AA’s noise contours. An increase in the
number of residents or other “sensitive receivers” that may be affected by noise generated by a
new project may result in approval for that project being delayed or rejected.
 Improving relations with residents that are most affected and most active in challenging
future development of HKIA.
 Improving HKIA’s performance on noise management in pursuit of the “greenest airport”
objective.
Target
 To develop a noise management strategy by 2017.

5.10 New development
Background
To cope with the rapid growth in air traffic demand in HKIA, new developments such as
Terminal 2 expansion and the Midfield Concourse are either under design or construction. A
green airport design strategy is required by AA to ensure that the leading environmental
standards, technologies and best practice are incorporated from the outset.
In addition, it is most cost effective to incorporate green concepts into the design stage than
retrofitting the buildings during the operation phase.
 Supporting HKIA’s pledge to become the world’s greenest airport.
 Improving environmental performance through design.
 Reducing the operation costs associated with developing and operating the airport.
 Airports in other countries raising the “best practice” bar.
Targets
 To ensure all significant new facilities and infrastructure projects develop and follow a Green
Airport Design Strategy.
 All new buildings should achieve a “best in class” standard for the relevant building type
according to clearly defined performance benchmarks, supported by an appropriate building
environmental performance certification scheme.

Environmental management systems
Background
An Environmental Management System (EMS) which follows the key elements of the ISO
14001 international standard has been adopted by ENVT in the management of environmental
aspects at AAHK. ISO14001 certification has not previously been considered in the past. It is
correspondingly difficult for AAHK to demonstrate its environmental management credentials
without certification by a credible independent third party such as ISO.
International environment-related management systems including energy management systems
(ISO 50001) and greenhouse gas management systems (ISO14064) have been developed to
facilitate the management of these aspects by corporates. To be the world’s greenest airport,
ENVT is exploring opportunities to obtain such certificates in a reasonable timeframe to better
improve the credibility of HKIA’s EMS.
 For better performance / results of environmental related award applications.
 For better management of all the environmental aspects generated from the operation of the
airport under AAHK’s control.
 To create a systematic response and rectification system to properly handle non-compliance
arising from AA or BPs’ activities at HKIA.
 Increase the credibility of AAHK’s claims to be the world’s greenest airport.
Targets
• To upgrade AAHK’s existing EMS in line with ISO 14001:2015 principles and work towards
future certification.
•
•
To develop Energy Management System in line with ISO 50001:2011 Principles and work
towards future certification.
To establish a strategy to position HKIA as the world’s greenest airport over 40 million pax.

WORKING WITH BUSINESS PARTNERS
To operate HKIA sustainability, AA must work with a range of franchisees, licensees, tenants,
contractors and services providers. These include airlines, logistics companies, cargo terminals,
catering companies.
Therefore AA has built close relationships with its business partners. We aim to actively
influence their environmental performance through contract agreements, collaborative targetsetting, award and incentive schemes and partnerships.
By engaging business partners, we aim to continue the airport-wide carbon reduction
programme and also to further improve business partners’ environmental performance via the
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) submission requirement.
Since it has emerged that adopting an “airport-wide” boundary rather than an “airport operator”
boundary represents best practice in airport environmental management. AAHK is actively
exploring opportunities to adopt this approach wherever it is feasible to do so.
In the sections below, we consolidated the general requirements and policies we expect
business partners to follow.
6.1 General Requirements of Airport Business Partners:

Obtain any statutory licences, consents or exemptions relating to the protection of the
environment and which are required for its activities and operation.

Prepare its own environmental management plan (the "Plan") in relation to all its
activities and operation, when required by the Authority.

Take all reasonable steps to minimise waste arising from its activities and operation and
separate recyclables at source.

Co-operate with the Authority and participate in the implementation of the Authority’s
plan, policies, initiatives and commitments for the management of the environment at the
Airport, including but not limited to the Airport-wide carbon reduction programme, carbon
audit, environmental audit, waste survey and energy saving measures undertaken by
the Authority when required by the Authority.
6.2 Polices to be followed by Airport Business Partners:
Vehicle Emission Standards
 Unless otherwise agreed to by the Authority, the business partner of AAHK shall,
in relation to all vehicles and mobile equipment that operate within the restricted
area of the Airport, use electric vehicles and electric mobile equipment if such
vehicles and mobile equipment are commercially available. If electric vehicles
and/or electric mobile equipment are not used as aforesaid, the business partner
shall use vehicles and mobile equipment, in the following descending order of
priority, which are:
36 | P a g e
i.
ii.
iii.

powered by a hybrid of petrol engine and electric motor; or
powered by a hybrid of diesel engine and electric motor; or
powered by an engine type that complies with the latest emissions
standards (for vehicles this shall be the latest EURO (or equivalent)
emission standards in force during the contract period
If there are available vehicles and mobile equipment that achieve equal or lower
local emissions than the types of vehicles and mobile equipment identified in
conditions i to iii above, the business partner may, upon the approval of the
Authority, use such vehicles and mobile equipment.
Phase-in of Electric Vehicles
 Commencing from 1st July 2013, all newly purchased saloon cars that operate in
the restricted area of the Airport must be powered by electric motor only and
commencing from 1st July 2017, the entire fleet of business partners saloon cars
that operate in the restricted area of the Airport must be powered by electric
motor only.
