To strengthen HKIA's capability to operate and grow profitably in a changing and challenging economic, ecological, technological and social environment, while developing a robust culture of sustainability throughout the organisation.
The Airport Authority (AA) has embedded robust governance at multiple levels of the organisation to oversee, lead and implement our sustainability-related activities.
The Board has full accountability for AA's sustainability strategy and performance. The Sustainability Executive Taskforce, which is composed of the Chief Operating Officer, Executive Directors and chaired by the CEO, serves as the primary decision-making body for key strategic sustainability efforts. We also engage with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to better understand and respond to their needs and make better-informed business decisions.
A full description of the AA’s sustainability governance can be found in our Sustainability Report 2022/23.
The AA is responsible for the operation and development of HKIA. The delivery of the majority of services related to the airport's operational functions is outsourced to business partners, including franchisees, licensees, and tenants. In view of that, the AA adopts an airport-wide approach to move beyond areas under its direct sphere of control and proactively engage airport business partners to work on various sustainability issues.
The AA has identified five SDGs that are strategically relevant for the organisation. We evaluate yearly the alignment of goals, their constituent targets, and indicators with our business activities, as well as our ability to deliver genuine and long-term impact.
Further details of our contributions toward the SDGs can be found in our latest Sustainability Report.
