25% by 2015 + a further 10% reduction by 2020

Platform

Online Carbon Audit Systems & free carbon audits

Partners

54 business partners

Performance

Carbon intensity reduced by 25.6%

Pledge: 1st airport-wide carbon reduction target

8

AA and 40 BPs pledged to reduce airport-wide carbon intensity by 25% per workload unit by 2015 from 2008 levels

9

AA and 54 BPs pledged to further reduce airport-wide Carbon intensity by 10% by 2020 from 2015 levels

Pledge: 2nd airport-wide carbon reduction target

Platform: Investing in the infrastructure

2011: Launched Online Carbon Audit System

System development cost: HK$500,000+

On-going investment in increasing no. of BPs and system user interface

6 internal staff trained as Certified Carbon Auditors

Partnership: Engagement with airport business partners

11

Voluntary submission of carbon data from 54 airport business partners to map and reduce HKIA’s carbon emissions

1. HKIA Carbon Reduction Award Scheme

•Carbon Reduction Award (2017)

– Nine BPs with most significant reductions

•Implementation Award (2018)

– For successful reduction measures supported by a robust business case

•Innovation Award (2018)

– For BPs implementing new measures at HKIA

AA is developing a book of case studies to share best practice

12

Partnership: Support strategies for 2020 target

2. Annual Senior Executive Roundtable

Raise awareness of the business case for accelerating carbon reductions

3. Technical Working Group

Best practice sharing on emission reduction measures:

–ISO 50001 certification

– cooling system optimisation

–solar panel implementation

13

Partnership: Support strategies for 2020 target

4. Sector-based Benchmarking Scheme

– Friendly competition between BPs in the same sector

– 16 groups determined according to business nature.

– Carbon reduction performance reported to BPs via benchmarking report:

• Carbon intensity of individual BP in the reporting year

• Changes in carbon intensity against previous year & base year

• Comparison against the sector’s average carbon intensity

14

Partnership: Support strategies for 2020 target

15

Partnership: The funding model – cost sharing

CAS platform and training (AAHK)

AAHK

Funds AA’s carbon reduction projects

BPs

Measures based on business nature & business case

All parties benefit from sharing best practices

• Initiatives must be justified by a sound business case

• No “one-size-fit-all” solution

Overall airport-wide performance

Conclusion

Advantages of “airport-wide” approach: Wider boundary creates greater opportunities to achieve reductions Larger footprint increases the impact with a percentage-based target The bigger the boundary, the more credit you can claim
