We’ve offset emissions to be carbon neutral for the energy used in our terminals and we’re committed to eliminating emissions completely by 2050.
Since 2018 we’ve offset emissions to be carbon neutral for the energy used in our terminals. We are committed to work towards zero carbon emissions from our terminals and fixed infrastructure by 2050 at the latest, and to work with our partners to deliver zero emissions at the airport.
We’re on a journey of sustainable growth. Since 1990 we’ve almost doubled the number of passengers who travel with us from 43 million to 80 million per year, while also making a 93% reduction in carbon emissions from the energy used by our terminals and fixed infrastructure.
We source 100% renewable electricity - enough to power everything in our terminals from lightbulbs to escalators. We achieve this by asking our electricity supplier to buy enough electricity from 100% renewable sources to meet the demand for Heathrow’s terminals.
Our expansion will only go ahead within strict environmental limits and it is our aspiration to make sure that growth from our new runway is carbon neutral, by managing carbon associated with flights as well as with the construction and operation of an expanded Heathrow.
We must also work to reduce the carbon impacts of journeys to and from the airport. We have various Initiatives to reduce the reliance on cars to access the airport, including implementing an Ultra-Low Emissions Zone and increasing the availability of public transport.
We’ve installed over 100 charging points at the airport, with 101 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles already in our fleet.
As the UK’s hub airport we can use our scale and influence to help accelerate change across the economy. Our expansion gives us a unique opportunity to take a lead on low carbon construction.
Our plan for sustainable growth, Heathrow 2.0, sets out how we will improve life for colleagues and communities, contribute to a thriving economy and help to tackle global challenges such as climate change.
