That's the thinking behind Horizons.
As the operator of Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton Airports, AGS Airports plays an important role in connecting people, supporting businesses, enabling trade and tourism, and creating opportunities for the communities we serve. We believe that success in the future depends on doing this sustainably.
Horizons brings together our ambitions, actions and progress under a shared vision for the future. It reflects our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, creating positive social value and growing responsibly, while working alongside colleagues, customers, partners and communities to deliver meaningful and lasting change.
Decarbonising our airport operations by 2035 is a key part of our sustainability ambitions. Through investment in cleaner energy, more sustainable infrastructure and climate resilience, we are reducing our environmental impact while supporting the aviation sector's wider transition to net zero by 2050.
Our airports are more than transport hubs. They are gateways to opportunity, supporting jobs, businesses and communities across the UK. Through sustainable growth, skills development and community investment, we are committed to creating lasting social and economic value in the regions we serve.
We believe our people are key to delivering a more sustainable future. By fostering an inclusive, diverse and supportive workplace, investing in skills and development, and empowering colleagues to contribute to our sustainability ambitions, we are creating a culture where everyone can thrive and make a positive impact.
We believe innovation is key to delivering long-term sustainable growth. From supporting the advancement of zero-emission flight to improving the efficiency and resilience of our airports, we are committed to exploring new technologies and partnerships that will help shape the future of aviation.
We are committed to operating responsibly, ethically and transparently. Through strong governance, effective risk management and a culture of accountability, we aim to build trust, meet our commitments and create long-term value for our stakeholders.
We have already made significant progress in addressing our environmental impacts. In 2020, each of our airports achieved carbon neutrality status for the emissions under our direct control (Scopes 1 and 2) and we aim to achieve net zero carbon for our direct emissions by mid-2035.
As a result of these actions, and our Carbon Management Plan, we have achieved Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 4+.
In addition, AGS is a signatory to Sustainable Aviation’s decarbonisation roadmap which was the first national net zero aviation commitment anywhere in the world. We have also joined airports across Europe in signing ACI Europe’s NetZero 2050 pledge; a commitment to achieving net zero emissions for the carbon under our control by 2050.
In order to truly embed sustainability at the core of AGS, we have set ambitious targets across all areas of our business to ensure we balance the clear economic and social benefits of aviation with our climate change responsibilities.
Our ESG & Sustainability strategy is anchored in the United Nations (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are defined as “a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.” The SDGs are interdependent and based on the three pillars of sustainable development referred to as the “triple bottom line” by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the international institution that sets global sustainability reporting.
