LLA is committed to continuously reviewing the airport's environmental performance and looks to minimise and manage the effects. To do this, we work to an Environmental Management System (EMS). Our Environmental Policy sets out our key strategies and goals.
We have a rigorous programme of Air Quality monitoring that helps us work out the airport’s contribution to local air emissions. We’ve recently linked our programme results to the data of surrounding Local Authorities and you can view their monthly online report.
LLA is committed to continuously improving its energy management and performance. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and help our service partners to reduce theirs.
LLA is the fifth busiest airport in the UK and we know that the travel choices people make when getting to and from the airport can have a big impact on the environment. That’s why we’re championing the use of public transport for all our customers and staff.
Nobody wants waste, but unfortunately it’s a natural by-product of the day-to-day running of the airport. With our smart Waste Management programme, we’re having a big effect on the amount we produce and what happens to it.
