Environment

At East Midlands Airport, we are committed to looking after our local environment.

We’re making progress. In 2002 we became the first Airport in the UK to be certified to the Environmental Management Standard ISO14001. In 2003 we were awarded the national business award for environmental awareness. And in 2006 we were the first airport in Europe to make public radar recordings of our operations, using the WebTrak system.

Climate change is important to us and in 2006 we announced our determination to reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide, with a commitment to make the airport’s operations carbon neutral by 2012.

We have made significant progress in recent years – but we know that we need to continue to improve. As a result, we have a number of very substantial programmes of work underway.

Read on to discover more about out environmental commitment – and what we’re doing to protect and improve our local area.
