Sustainability vision

‘Our sustainability vision is to strengthen HKIA’s ability 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.’

Sustainability management structure

Within AAHK, sustainability is managed through different entities within the organisation. The current management structure is illustrated in the diagram below.

Board level
Business Development Committee

The Business Development Committee has the mandate to oversee AAHK’s sustainability, as stated in its Terms of Reference.

Senior management level
Executive Director, Engineering & Technology

The Executive Director, Engineering & Technology (EDET) has overall responsibility for AAHK’s sustainability management and performance.

Department level
Sustainability Department

Under the EDET, the Sustainability Department is responsible for developing and rolling out AAHK’s sustainability strategy, management and reporting systems.

Cross-functional level
Sustainability Working Group

The Sustainability Working Group comprises representatives from departments across AAHK who support the development of AAHK’s sustainability reporting and framework.

AAHK’s corporate governance framework and practices are outlined in the Corporate Governance section of our 2017/18 Annual Report.

Management approach

AAHK outsources many of the airport’s operational functions to franchisees, tenants and Government departments. We therefore adopt a three-pronged approach to sustainability management. The principles of ‘Control, Guide and Influence’ reflect the different levels of control we exercise over the various aspects of airport operation.

Control
AAHK’s own activities
Guide
Contractual agreements with business partners
Influence
Engagement and partnerships with business partners and the wider community
