We sensitively manage noise from our operations to balance operational requirements with the needs of local communities.

We have established processes for managing and monitoring noise from our operations. We are acutely aware of the potential for disruptive noise impacts from our airport operations and work with regulators and local communities to establish ways of working that mitigate our impacts. We carefully monitor noise complaints and use the information we receive to help us to improve performance.

We work to improve the social and environmental credentials of the products and services we source. We enable the circular economy by providing energy infrastructure and feedstocks that keep valuable resources out of landfills.

Through our energy business we turn products that would otherwise be wasted into a valuable energy source. We provide a full waste management solution, procuring waste otherwise destined for landfill and processing material into fuel.

We ensure that the forest biomass we use is sustainably sourced from sustainably managed forests.

We set high standards for the sustainability of forest material we source. We source material produced from forestry practices that are certified against sustainable forest management standards.

We aim to maintain clean, healthy air for communities at our operations. We work with our partners and local communities to ensure our growth doesn’t reduce air quality.

We carefully manage air quality impacts from our operations. We identify sources of emissions to air, and establish mitigation and monitoring programmes. This includes monitoring of air quality at strategic locations adjacent to London Southend Airport.

We are working to eliminate waste from our operations. We will aim to send as close to zero waste to landfill as possible.

We work to reduce waste produced in our operations. We establish waste management processes and identify opportunities to reduce the waste produced from operations.

We protect biodiversity and enhance conservation through careful planning and management of our operations.

We identify important biodiversity that may be impacted by our operations. We establish management plans to control and mitigate impacts.

We minimise our impact on the water by preventing pollution, limiting discharges, and continuously reducing the water footprint of our operations.

We manage water consumption at our operations. We identify opportunities to reduce our water consumption. We implement controls to prevent pollution.
