1. Introduction: Managing HKIA’s Environmental Footprint
1.1. This document outlines Airport Authority Hong Kong’s (AA) management of the
environmental issues related to the planning, development and operation of Hong
Kong International Airport (HKIA). It covers the environmental initiatives that are
currently being implemented by almost every department within AA and, by extension,
certain aspects of its business partners, tenants and contractors.1 Perhaps more
importantly it also sets out the reasons why AA places such strong emphasis on
environmental management, the principles that guide its approach, the specific issues
that are relevant to each environmental aspect and, where applicable, the metrics to
measure our performance against carefully developed targets.
1.2. Background
AA is a statutory body that is wholly owned by the Hong Kong Government. It has a
vision to strengthen HKIA as a leading aviation hub and a key engine for the economic
growth of Hong Kong.
AA is committed to best practice environmental management and to being a leading
environmental performer in Hong Kong. The Corporate Environmental Policy
Statement was established in 2008 and updated in April 2015 (Appendix A). Other
high level support can be found in our recently reviewed corporate values, AA’s
sustainability vision and a number of issue-specific environmental policies
(Appendices B – F).
In May 2012 the senior management of AA and its business partners pledged, with the endorsement of the Transport and Housing Bureau, that HKIA would become the world’s greenest airport.
1.3. Guiding Environmental Principles
AA recognises that all of the goods and services consumed in the development and
operation of HKIA are derived from functional ecosystems. Therefore the sustainability
of HKIA is ultimately dependent on the continuing functionality of these ecosystems.
AA’s approach to environmental management aims to reflect this understanding by:
a. Proactively minimising harm to protect and restore 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’s actions in this regard will be limited to those functions that are appropriate to its role as an airport operator. We further recognise that the preferred order for implementing environmental management options is: avoidance, reduction, mitigation, compensation and restoration.
1 The conditions for compliance with the Environmental Permit for the 3RS Project are handled separately by TRD.
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 5 | Page
1.4. The Business Case for Environmental Management
The business case for optimising AA’s environmental footprint falls 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, 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.
Environment and the social license to operate and grow: 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 development approval both amongst airports worldwide and for the majority of large infrastructure projects in Hong Kong. As a result, the value of addressing risks to HKIA around environmental regulation and the “social licence to operate and grow” is significant.
1.5 Collaboration
AA is not solely responsible for the environmental footprint of HKIA. 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. Wherever possible we adopt an “airport wide” approach, whereby AA acts as the facilitator for programmes that include multiple business partners in order to accelerate the rate of footprint reduction and further embed environmental thinking into the DNA of the whole airport community.
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. Noise
3. Green procurement and retailing
9. Engagement

2.1. 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 AA will:
a. Seek the views of internal and external stakeholders that may be affected;
b. Set performance standards that allow flexibility and encourage innovation in
the approach for achieving compliance;
c. Allow lead times that respect 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 G outlines the Plan Review Process for the relevant departments to follow.
3. Implementation and Ongoing Monitoring
Each department is required to:
a. Work with SUST 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 SUST;
d. Report status in the quarterly AA EMS Working Group meeting, as required;
SUST is required to:
a. Conduct an annual review of the Plan to assess AA’s progress in reducing its
environmental footprint;
b. Revise targets and the overall environmental strategy, where appropriate, in
order to drive continual improvement in AA’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 and the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management
System when reviewing the Plan to facilitate the assessment and reporting of
environmental performance; and
d. Consolidate quarterly updates and keep a copy of the most updated Plan.

4. Co-benefits of environmental initiatives
Some of the environmental initiatives in this Plan could have multiple environmental benefits. As an example, the replacement of diesel vehicles with EVs reduces emissions of both carbon and air pollutants. To fully reflect their environmental benefits, a section for indicating the co-benefits of initiatives have been added to this Plan.
5. Key targets
In the coming years, AA will focus on three areas: carbon reduction, energy consumption and waste management. Targets are set out below:
Reduce carbon intensity by 10% by 2020 relative to 2015 levels
Reduce energy consumption by 18M kWh by 2020
Reduce/recycle/recover 50% of all waste generated by 2021

6. Key Environmental Aspects
6.1 Climate change
Background Carbon Management
In response to the UNFCCC Paris Agreement which sets out an objective to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, the international community has stepped up efforts in reducing carbon emissions. China has set a target to peak its absolute emissions by 2030 and to reduce emission intensity (emission per GDP) by 60% - 65% from 2005 levels. Hong Kong has committed to reduce carbon intensity (emission per GDP) by 50% – 60% by 2020 from 2005 levels, and has committed to a reduction of 65% - 70% by 2030. The Hong Kong SAR Government has committed to set a target that reflects the science behind the Paris Agreement and subsequent findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. A public consultation on how to set this target is expected to commence in Q2 2019. As one of the fast growing emission sources, the aviation sector could be subject to further regulatory control as a reflection of its contribution to national emissions. As an example, the Chinese national emissions trading scheme was launched in December 2017 with the first phase covering the power sector. The scheme is expected to be enhanced in the coming years to cover more sectors across China, including steel, cement and aviation. In response to growing regulatory risk, AA must strive to reduce its carbon footprint. Given that Business Partners (BPs) account for some 60% of the airport-wide carbon footprint, AA collaborates with BPs to set targets and implement measures to accelerate footprint reduction. Airport-wide target
With the concerted efforts by AA and BPs, airport-wide carbon intensity was reduced by 25.6% as of end 2015 relative to 2008 levels, despite continuous growth in airport throughput (as shown in the graph below). The achievement surpassed the original commitment to reduce carbon intensity by 25%.

In Nov 2016, following consultation, AA and BPs pledged to further reduce HKIA’s carbon intensity by 10% by 2020 relative to 2015 levels. At the end of 2017, a reduction of 5.7% in carbon intensity has been achieved (as shown in the graph below).
Airport-wide Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from 2015-2017
The airport-wide carbon reduction progress from 2015 onwards is also tabled below:

2016 ##, ### 436,281 3.77 0.5%
2017 ### 436,732 3.57 5.7%
# Includes GHG emissions from eight new business partners which have participated in the airport-wide carbon reduction pledge for 2020. ## Includes GHG emissions from the new Midfield Concourse which was commissioned in late 2015.
### Excludes GHG emissions from DFS as they have ceased operation in 2017.
AA’s performance AA contributes around 40% of the airport-wide carbon footprint. Starting from the first phase of HKIA Carbon Reduction Programme in 2008, the carbon intensity from AA had an overall drop from 1.98 kgCO2/WLU in 2009 to 1.31 kgCO2/WLU in 2017, which is a decrease of 34%. The emissions relating to AA’s facilities is shown in the graph below.

Climate Resilience
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), the effects of climate change have already emerged with countries experiencing raised temperatures, more frequent extreme rainfall, drought and rising sea levels. Hong Kong is expected to deal with not only the most visible and immediate challenges for a coastal city, but also of the climate impacts in the increasingly integrated surrounding region.
AA plans to conduct a Climate Resilience Study in 2019-2020. The Study aims to assess and review the business, operational and new development areas within the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to strengthen the resilience of the airport under the anticipated effects of climate change. The study will also inform decision-making and future planning for HKIA.
Potential drivers for change
The international community is calling for a limit of global temperature rise to 2 degrees
Celsius.
NGOs and certain airports are pressuring corporates to set Paris-based carbon targets to
align with either the 2 or 1.5 degrees Celsius countered commitment.
China and Hong Kong have set targets to reduce carbon intensity by 2030.
Future carbon pricing mechanisms may create a strong business case to reduce carbon
emission.
Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation task force is reviewing
their scheme to include long term carbon target setting.
ACI has developed a technical note on climate adaptation which is driving airports to
review their risks and opportunities.
HK Government is increasing focus on Paris-based targets and climate resilience in 2019
through public consultation.
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 11 | Page
Challenges
Increasing air traffic and infrastructure (3RS).
Despite the efforts to reduce energy consumption, AA has no control over the emission
factor of the energy purchased from its power supplier. This is a significant factor that
influences HKIA’s ability to reduce its substantial Scope 2 emissions.
Targets/commitments
Reduce airport-wide carbon intensity by 10% by 2020 relative to 2015 levels.
AA is signatory to the 2008 Aviation Industry Commitment to Action on Climate Change –
a long-term target to work towards carbon neutral growth.

6.2 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. AA makes every effort to reduce energy consumption at the airport. To ensure optimal energy savings are planned and achieved, AA implements an ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) at Terminal 1 as of 2017 and Midfield Concourse in 2018. AA aims to achieve further certification at other buildings in the following years. Further details on ISO 50001 are presented in Section 6.11 – Environmental Management Systems. AA has achieved significant energy reduction in recent years due to a series of energy saving projects. In 2017, AA’s electricity usage was 296M kWh which was 10M kWh less compared with 2016. Example projects implemented between 2016 and 2018 include:
Installation of a cloud-based building analytics system for the North Satellite Concourse
(Reduced 0.6M kWh/ year)
Replacement of LED gantry lights in Terminal 2 (Reduced 0.3M kWh/ year)
Replacement of two energy efficient high-voltage chillers (Reduced 9.8M kWh/ year)
Start replacement of LED lights in Terminal 1 (Reduce 3.5M kWh/ year by 2020)
Optimization of operational efficiency of the new Midfield Concourse (Reduced 1.9M
kWh/ year)
Retro-commissioning of mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning system in T1
(Reduced 3.2M kWh/ year)
Modification of gantry lighting control in T1 (Reduced 0.5M kWh/ year)
The figure below shows AA’s electricity consumption over the past nine years. Priorities for reducing energy use have generally focused on significant electricity demand areas including cooling and lighting systems. AA also regularly replaces fans, pumps and motors with more efficient models as they become available to maintain energy efficiency. AA has set a target to save 18M kWh by 2020, which is equivalent to the annual electricity use of 4,000 households. To achieve the target, AA will implement a series of energy saving measures including the replacement of over 80,000 LED lights at Terminal 1, optimising the energy consumption of the Midfield Concourse, and the conversion of apron high-mast lighting to LED light sources.
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 14 | Page
Remarks:
Electricity consumption includes AA's facilities such as Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Midfield Concourse, North Satellite
Concourse, SkyPier, HKIA Tower, Airport World Trade Centre, etc. SkyPier and NSC came into operation since Sep 2009 and Nov 2009 respectively.
Midfield Concourse in operation since Dec 2015.
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 contributes to the HKSAR
government overall target.
Challenges
Growing number of passengers, flights and supporting infrastructure.
Low-hanging fruit measures are exhausted. Future energy saving measures require
higher investments.
Co-benefits:
Energy savings relating to the replacement of equipment with a lower electricity
consumption (such as lighting fixtures and MVAC equipment) will also yield a reduction in
the overall carbon footprint of the premises.
Installing sensors and control systems for equipment will ensure their optimal
performance and reduce carbon footprints of the premises.
Targets/Commitment
Reduce airport-wide carbon intensity by 10% by 2020 relative to 2015 levels.
Reduce energy consumption by 18M kWh by 2020.

6.3 Green procurement and retailing Background Many of the primary services for AA’s airport management and development work are outsourced to contractors and suppliers. Procurement activities are managed separately for daily operation and for development projects. As the airport operator, AA oversees the sustainability of HKIA as a whole, and it is important that AA works with reputable contractors and suppliers that manage their environmental and social impacts responsibly. AA is committed to embedding sustainability considerations in our procurement processes, including the selection of contractors and suppliers. AA is currently reviewing our existing third party monitoring approach across our supply chain. The process covers:
(a) the insertion of standardized environmental clauses into General Conditions of
Contracts;
(b) the standardization of the Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) process; and
(c) the development of a consistent approach for environmental performance
monitoring among AA’s contracts/ agreements/ licensees.
The approach will be presented to senior management at the ISO 14001 Management Review Meeting in November 2018 and, pending approval, is planned to be implemented in 2019. To encourage AA’s tenants and business partners (BPs) to take direct responsibility for their own environmental management, AA organized an HKIA Environmental Management Recognition Scheme on a bi-annual basis. The scheme was first introduced in 2012 and held again in 2014 and 2016, with the aim of enhancing the tenants’ and BPs’ awareness of various environmental management aspects. The 2016 Scheme prepared business partners and tenants for the HKSAR Government’s Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) charging. More information on this scheme is provided in Section 6.5 – Waste Management. In 2017, AA stepped forward to encourage tenants and business partners to take direct responsibility for their own environmental management. Forty-seven retailers at HKIA have joined the Hong Kong Green Shop Alliance, organized by Hong Kong Green Building Council, and pledged to adhere to a series of environmental standards on energy management, water management, waste reduction, reuse and recycling of materials, green procurement, and social green behavior. AA has also been a founding member of the Hong Kong Green Purchasing Charter since 2007. A Corporate Green Procurement Policy was developed in 2008 and a revised version was issued in 2016 (Appendix B) to refresh these corporate values. Potential drivers for change
Alignment with the HKSAR Government’s initiatives in conserving resources and reduction
of waste.
Proactive management of our supply chain to fulfill GRI G4 reporting requirements.
PR opportunities for retailers who participate in AA award schemes.
Recognition for best practice in Hong Kong and globally.
The MSW charging legislation may drive tenants and business partners to think carefully
about the recyclability of product packaging to reduce charges.
Improvement for the overall performance in accordance with AA’s Environmental General
Conditions of Contract.
Challenges
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 18 | Page
Tenants often lack the incentive to make necessary investments or behavior changes,
particularly if they themselves have short leases.
Potential higher costs of eco-friendly products create disincentives to AA, tenants or
business partners from procuring such products.
Limited availability and difficulties in sourcing green products are major barriers towards
purchasing environmentally sustainable products.
China’s National Sword Policy will impact the recyclability of product packaging,
potentially causing higher costs of disposal.
Co-benefit
The addition of environmental-related aspects to the Tenants Fit-Out Handbook will
encourage waste reduction and improve air quality.
Reducing hardcopy printing for all in-house training will also reduce waste.
Low footprint logistics arrangements for sustainable development-related luncheon
training will also achieve waste reduction.
The introduction of MSW Charging will drive waste reductions.
Targets
Further enhance the environmental performance of the supply chain through tightening of
environmental requirements in contract documentation.
Identify opportunities for engaging with tenants, business partners and passengers to
develop new initiatives for environmental footprint reduction.
Monitor all high risk contracts at least once every two years.

6.4 Air quality
Background Air quality is one of the most important environmental issues facing Hong Kong. Public concerns about emissions at HKIA principally come from residents in Tung Chung, which is located just to the south of the airport. While HKIA is close to Tung Chung, a number of other significant sources of emissions lie upwind and also influence air quality both at the airport and in Tung Chung. These include a major shipping lane, two power stations, and the North Lantau Highway. Further away, but nonetheless significant, regional emissions from the Pearl River Delta (PRD) also influence air quality in northwest Lantau. A range of emission sources are associated with the operation of HKIA. Some of these, including aircraft auxiliary power units (APU) and airside vehicular emissions, can be directly controlled by AA, while AA must work closely with key stakeholders such as airlines, ferry operators and a range of other airport business partners whose emissions AA does not control directly. AA continuously tracks outdoor air quality through two airport monitoring stations and a third control station on Sha Chau since 2004. Since 2013, AA 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 Ground Support Equipment (GSE), aircraft landing and take-off (LTO) emissions, landside vehicles serving the airport and ferries moving passengers to and from the SkyPier. The inventories provide the evidence base to identify the most cost-effective policies and solutions to reduce emissions at HKIA and also provides useful insights into regional air quality. AA has also developed an airside vehicle electrification implementation roadmap to reduce air emissions on the airside. There are three phases:
1) Phase 1: Saloon type vehicles to be electric from 2018 onwards
2) Phase 2: Other remaining private cars to be electric by 2022
3) Phase 3: Airside vans, mini-buses and buses to be electric commencing in 2024
(subject to availability in the market)
To facilitate the transition, AA has installed 278 EV chargers and plans to expand the network to 480 chargers by the end of 2021. Since 2012, AA has also started installing electric ground services equipment (GSE) charging stations for electric powered GSE (eGSE). A total of 90 eGSE charging points are now operating at the airport. In July 2018, AA began implementing a GSE pooling scheme of which 95% are electric GSE, at various locations. In 2024, AA will provide a total 450 GSE charging stations to support electrified ramp handling operations. An additional 33 E-bus chargers will also be installed to facilitate new operations.
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 22 | Page
Potential drivers for change
While background air quality in Hong Kong is improving, public concern about poor air
quality remains a potential constraint to future airport development.
The wide range of new air quality improvement measures implemented by the Government
has reduced emissions from the three major local sources. As a result, airport-related
emissions account for an increasing proportion of local emissions in Hong Kong.
Meet commitments in EIA reports and associated Environmental Permit conditions.
Challenges
Emissions from GSE and aircraft are not under AA’s direct control.
High capital cost of e-GSE and charging infrastructure.
Lack of government subsidy to promote retirement of aging diesel vehicles or pilot of low
emission technologies.
For some GSE, electrification is either not technologically feasible or the technology is not
yet mature.
Co-benefit
The replacement of operating vehicle fleet, and the phasing out and replacement of Pre-VI
vehicles with an electrified fleet will achieve overall carbon reductions as well as improve
air quality.
Targets
By 2018, all saloon type private cars on the airside must be electric vehicles (EVs)
(achieved).
By 2022, remaining private car types on the airside must be EVs (subject to availability in
the market).
From 2024, all registered vans, mini buses and buses in the Airport Restricted Area (ARA)
must be EVs.
By 2024, the GSE pooling scheme will be in full implementation, including at the Third
Runway Concourse.

6.5 Waste management
Background Effective waste management is an issue of concern both to the Hong Kong public and Government, and to international airports. AA 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. Efforts will be focused on upstream separation and recycling programmes of downstream separation and recovery. In 2015, AA commissioned a study to review AAHK’s waste management practices with a view to develop a long-term strategy to achieve the 50% waste reduction/recycling/recovery target. The study revealed that, through the implementation of various waste reduction and recycling measures, the best achievable recycling rate for AAHK is 35%. To achieve the recycling/recovery target of 50%, it was proposed that AA enhance its waste management practices, develop and implement a waste charging programme and explore the adoption of waste-to-energy technology at HKIA. In 2017, AA launched the latest programme for HKIA Environmental Management Recognition Scheme to encourage wider implementation of waste reduction and recycling measures by HKIA’s business partners and tenants. Over 100 retail shops, catering outlets, office tenants and cleaning contractors were presented with awards commending their exceptional efforts in waste management. A new recognition scheme will be launched in 2019 to further encourage tenants and business partners to implement sustainability initiatives. In 2017, AA also conducted a study to investigate the feasibility of developing a small-scale waste-to-energy (WtE) plant at HKIA. AA have decided not to proceed after due consideration of various factors, including the potential use of energy generated and the costs of building and operating the facility. AA will continue to explore other waste treatment and disposal options. In 2018, AAHK commenced a 20-month MSW charging pilot scheme with tenants, business partners and airlines to help the airport community to prepare for the MSW Charging Legislation due to be implemented in 2020. The aim of the study was to determine a cost-effective and practical charging mechanism and to provide participants with a realistic experience of the future scheme. The graph below shows AA’s non-recyclable waste and recyclable waste quantity from 2008-2017.
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 26 | Page
Potential drivers for change
To achieve the corporate waste target.
To align with the global best practices adopted by hub-sized airports.
To help the HKSAR Government to tackle the waste to landfill challenge.
To prepare AA for the introduction of the Government’s Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
charging legislation which is expected to come into effect in 2020.
To meet commitments in EIA reports and associated environmental permit conditions.
Publication of an emission factor for municipal solid waste would provide a driver for
reduction of carbon in waste.
Challenges
Limited incentive for tenants and cleaning contractors to improve AA’s waste
management system.
AA’s waste management system is complex and often tenants and contractors are not
under AA’s sphere of influence or control, which hinders AA’s efforts to improve waste
reduction and recycling.
The decentralized waste management system hinders AA’s effort to implement a holistic
approach for an integrated waste management system.
Lack of resources such as space and manpower to further enhance sorting of waste at
tenants’ premises and refuse rooms.
Lack of market outlets in Hong Kong for low-value recyclables such as plastics.
China’s National Sword Policy will limit the types of recyclables to be sent to China,
leading to a possible decrease in recycling rate for HKIA and others in Hong Kong.
Co-benefits
A reduction in waste to landfill will yield carbon reductions.
Social outcomes are achieved through the engagement of the not-for-profit organization,
Food Angel, and the delivery of the Food Rescue Programme to those in need.
AA staff and the airport community will continue to be informed and educated through
planned engagement activities on waste reduction such as workshops and training
sessions.
Targets
Reduce/Recycle/Recover 50% of all waste generated by 2021.
To conduct a MSW charging pilot at HKIA.
To investigate the feasibility of developing a small-scale waste-to-energy facility at HKIA.

6.6 Water usage Background Potable water usage has increased in importance as the need to respond to climate change-induced 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. AA’s grey water treatment plant has a daily capacity of 6,000m3. In 2016, an average of 540m3 per day recycled water was used for irrigation. Additional potential uses included new construction activities, vehicle washing and additional irrigation. A sustainable water strategy has been adopted for the Midfield Concourse (MFC) which covers demand reduction, grey water recycling and condensate water harvesting. Demand reduction is mainly supported by the use of sea water flushing and water-conserving sanitary fittings. Treated grey water and condensate water will be reused in the cooling system of the MFC to further reduce potable water consumption. In 2017 AA’s fresh water usage was about 383,000 m3. The consumption for previous years is summarized in the chart below:
Potential drivers for change
Opportunity to secure and extend AA’s leadership position on water management among
comparably-sized airports.
Upcoming major projects provide an opportunity to expand use of reclaimed water in
construction.
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.
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 30 | Page
Challenges
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.
Targets
To explore the increase usage of reclaimed water.

6.7 Ecology and biodiversity
Background Conservation of biodiversity is important to the sustainable development of the city. In December 2016, the Government launched Hong Kong’s first city-level Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP) (2016-2021), to step up biodiversity conservation and support sustainable development. AA’s development and operation may impact biodiversity around the airport. The loss of natural habitats associated with major engineering works is an inevitable part of major infrastructure development. Key species affected include two globally endangered/vulnerable or endemic species: Romer’s Tree Frog and Chinese White Dolphin. The whole airport community has a duty of care. AA needs to avoid and minimise adverse impacts on biodiversity during the operation and development of HKIA, particularly towards these species. In February 2016, AA launched the HKIA Biodiversity Strategy (Appendix F). It aims to minimise the impacts of the development and operation of HKIA on biodiversity. A HKIA Conservation Action Plan is currently under development. In order to further promote sustainable dining, AA reviewed and updated its Sustainable Dining Policy (Appendix C) in October 2016 which included a total ban on shark fin in all corporate dining events.
AA has also committed to developing and implementing a Marine Ecology and Fisheries Enhancement Strategy (MEFES) under the three-runway system (3RS) Environmental Permit. The MEFES includes an independent Marine Ecology Enhancement Fund (MEEF) and Fisheries Enhancement Fund (FEF), respectively, to fund initiatives proposed by third parties that support the objectives of the MEFES. From August 2015 to September 2017, the AA supported a study undertaken by the University of Hong Kong to monitor native and exotic communities of ants and moths at the airport and the surrounding habitats through the HKIA Environmental Fund. The project aimed to raise awareness on the ecological impacts of invasive species, and to prevent their establishment and habitat expansion. Wildlife trafficking continues to be a regular occurrence at Hong Kong’s borders. This is especially the case with smuggled ivory and rhino horns. In response to the threat wildlife crime poses, international decisions, alliances and enforcement collaborations are gaining momentum. Among these, International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airport Council International (ACI) have pledged to join the effort to stop the transportation of illegal wildlife products. AA is expected to take a proactive response to address growing public concerns on these issues. Potential drivers for change
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 minimising consumption of unsustainably-sourced
natural products.
Growing public concern about wildlife trafficking.
Meet commitments in EIA reports and associated environmental permit conditions.

6.8 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) management of aircraft noise is the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Department rather than AA. This is not widely understood by the public, and AA 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 are often built or close to large cities, and large numbers of residents are impacted, or because airports are held responsible for aircraft noise under local or regional legislation. Even though these conditions do not apply to HKIA, AA 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. Potential drivers for change
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.
Meet commitments in EIA reports and associated environmental permit conditions. Challenges
Responsibility for aircraft noise management lies with CAD rather than AA.
Target To consider developing a noise management strategy.

6.9 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. SUST meets with four distinct stakeholder groups, each with a different purpose:
Implementing departments within AA – to implement internal footprint reduction actions
and manage relationships with business partners.
HKIA business partners – to review environmental management plans and to develop
workable airport-wide footprint reduction strategies on relevant environmental issues.
Environmental NGOs – to better understand and respond to public expectations, and to
learn emerging technologies and approaches for footprint reduction.
EPD and other relevant departments of the HKSAR Government – to ensure AA
complies with and supports existing and upcoming legislation, policies and initiatives.
Local and international environmental associations and industry associations – to
learn from best practice, raise and participate in discussions of interest for footprint
reduction at HKIA.
SUST organises general environmental training and NGO-organised and other green
activities for AA 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.
Potential drivers for change
To manage reputational risk and AA’s social license to operate and grow.
To build a cordial relationship with NGOs and business partners.
To start actively managing AA’s supply chain according to GRI G4 sustainability reporting
requirements.
Challenges
Different operating environment and needs of implementing departments impose
difficulties on setting up environmental targets.
Behavioral change requires long term and sustainable engagement efforts.

6.10 New development
Background To cope with the rapid growth in air traffic demand in HKIA, new developments such as the Third Runway Concourse and Terminal 2 expansion 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 practices are incorporated from the outset.
In addition, it is more cost effective of an asset to incorporate green concepts into the design stage than retrofitting buildings or infrastructure during the operation phase. Potential drivers for change
Supporting HKIA’s pledge to become the world’s greenest airport.
Improving environmental performance through design.
Reducing the operating costs associated with developing and operating the airport.
Airports in other countries are raising the “best practice” bar.
Increasing awareness of life-cycle aspects of new assets, for example deconstruction of
assets to ensure maximum re-usability.
Introduction of new sustainability rating tools in the market, such as infrastructure rating
tools (e.g. ISCA IS International, CEEQUAL).
Targets
To ensure all significant new facilities and infrastructure projects develop and follow a
Green Airport Design Strategy.
All new buildings and infrastructure should achieve a “best in class” standard for the
relevant building or infrastructure type (where relevant) according to clearly defined
performance benchmarks, and where practicable, supported by an appropriate
environmental performance certification scheme.
Challenges
Need to consider the future price of carbon and embodied carbon for new major
developments.
Need to consider the climate risks.
Identification of significant aspects of small and large projects to be addressed during the
project lifecycle can be challenging.
Developments managed by third parties which do not have the same ambition to
implement best practice may be difficult to influence without appropriate contractual
mechanisms.

6.11 Environmental management systems
Background To support HKIA’s “greenest airport” pledge, International environment-related management systems including ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS), ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems (EnMS) and ISO 14064 Greenhouse Gas Management Systems have been developed to facilitate the management of these aspects by AA. In Feb 2017 and Jun 2018, AAHK achieved ISO 50001 certification for Terminal 1 and Midfield Concourse and ISO 14001:2015 certification for the whole of HKIA respectively. Furthermore, SUST worked with TSD to establish and implement an Integrated Management System (IMS), which comprises an EMS and an EnMS.
Potential drivers for change
To create a systematic response and rectification system to properly handle environmental
non-compliance arising from AA, BPs, tenants’ or contractors’ activities at HKIA.
Increase the credibility of AA’s claim to be the world’s greenest airport.
Increasing environmental awareness of all staff through ISO14001 implementation may
lead to more opportunities for environmental performance improvement, and early
identification of non-compliance with statutory obligations.
Challenges
The compliance-based checking exercises adopted in AA’s EMS may limit creativity and
innovative incentives.
Reluctance of departments to raise issues that need to be addressed.
Targets
• To drive continual improvement of AA by setting targets and monitoring the progress.
• To expand the scope of ISO 50001:2011 to other terminal areas.
• To maintain ISO 14001:2015 Certification.

7. Working with Business Partners
To operate HKIA sustainably, AA must work with a range of franchisees, licensees, tenants, contractors and services providers. These include airlines, logistics companies, cargo terminals and catering companies. Therefore AA has built close relationships with its business partners. We aim to actively influence their environmental performance through contract agreements, collaborative target-setting, 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. AA has played a leadership role in the adoption of an “airport-wide” boundary rather than an “airport operator” boundary as best practice in airport environmental management. AA is actively exploring opportunities to expand this approach wherever it is feasible to do so.
The sections below consolidates the general requirements and policies we expect business partners to follow. 7.1 General Requirements of Airport Business Partners
Obtain any statutory licenses, 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 AA.
Take all reasonable steps to minimise waste arising from its activities and operation
and separate recyclables at source.
Co-operate with AA and participate in the implementation of the AA’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 AA
when required by AA.
7.2 Policies to be followed by Airport Business Partners
Vehicle Emission Standards
Unless otherwise agreed to by AA, the business partner 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:
i. powered by a hybrid of petrol engine and electric motor; or
ii. powered by a hybrid of diesel engine and electric motor; or
5-year Environmental Plan FY2018/19 – FY2022/23
Airport Authority Hong Kong 47 | Page
iii. 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 AA, use such vehicles and mobile equipment.
Phase-in of Electric Vehicle and electric Ground Support Equipment
As mentioned in Section 6.4 – Air Quality, AA has developed an airside
electrification strategy which BPs must comply with. AA has also developed an
eGSE pooling scheme to accelerate the upgrade of eGSE at the airport.
