Energy and climate change

The operations within the airports and driving of business throughout the entire supply chain require the use of energy and emit greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change and a positive feedback loop to AOT’s business, such as higher temperatures causing more energy usage for air conditioning in the passenger terminal, etc. Besides, the impacts of energy management and the climate widely affect community and society groups as well as customer groups, especially the financial management groups and the shareholder groups, investors and securities analysts groups, the regulatory agency groups, and business partner groups. All of them are interested in and expect AOT’s involvement in energy and greenhouse gas emissions management. Effective efforts to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions will not only boost investor confidence but also positively impact communities and society at large in mitigating the severity of climate change, such as floods and rising temperatures. It will also meet the expectation of sustainability performance evaluation criteria both domestically and internationally.
