In line with the implementation of the company’s mission “Make a positive contribution to the environmental sustainability”, Angkasa Pura Airports has implemented a number of measures and policies that are in line with its mission, mainly those related to energy conservation and greenhouse gas emission management.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emission becomes the focus of mitigation by implementing the principle of eco-friendly airport, by carrying out a number of measures such as greening at airports, the use of energy-efficient infrastructure such as LED lights and solar cell lamps, the implementation of solar power plants, the application of the green building concept, the utilization of Building Automatic System (BAS), as well as the adoption of ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System and ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System.
