1 This table shows a list of topics identified as relevant by different stakeholder groups. They can be considered as stakeholders suggestions or requests for topics to be monitored or disclosed by organizations. Additional information about the project can be found at Research/Pages/default.aspx 28 Air Transportation - Airport Services 39 s Operators of airports and companies providing related services. Sustainability Economic Local employment Procedures for local hiring from the local community This issue is considered to be of particular relevance to the airport sector. Airports, especially those in emerging economies, are frequently operated by companies based overseas, for example under Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) agreements. Given the unique nature of many airport operations, it may be necessary for airports to hire staff and senior members from outside the region where operations take place.

2 Economic direct and indirect benefits Employment, accessibility and mobility Infrastructure investments and services Airlines affect local development, by providing direct or indirect employment and increasing accessibility and mobility. Development and impact of infrastructure investments and services provided primarily for public benefit through commercial, in-kind, or pro bono engagement. 107, 435 Mediating Institution Environmental Materials sourcing and use Plastic products This issue is considered to be of particular relevance to the airport sector. Airports increase the ease of access to locations, and so can have a particularly high impact on local economies and quality of life. The public service element of airport operations needs to be recognized, especially when airports are operated that do not provide an economic benefit for the company. Plastic, a valuable material, can generate significant positive, or negative, impacts on economy, environment and society. Plastic should be treated as a resource and managed judiciously. 353, 367 Civil Society A disclosure on management approach for plastics, including governance, strategy, risks, opportunities, considering: opportunities for product redesign, increasing recycled content, implementing reclaim and/or reuse which could attract economies, brand loyalty, investment, employee goodwill, and; risks to the business, stakeholder health, environment and society (including reputational/social license to operate, regulatory, investor, insurer, and liability risks) for plastics that are directly harmful to stakeholders, or indirectly through plastics being wasted/littered. Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 2 of 23

3 Performance indicators regarding the types and volumes of plastics being used, collected and/or distributed downstream; the portion that is made of post-consumerrecycled, bio-based, biodegradable, compostable, and/or oxobiodegradable material; the ratio of expected lifespan of plastic products/packaging in contrast to the duration of their intended use; these volumes broken down by end of life disposition. Most of this disclosure can be captured through the existing GRI framework (e.g. GRI G3 EC9, EN1, EN2, EN22), but commentary is needed to ensure disclosers appreciate the materiality of plastic; other questions can be added to the framework. Refer to the Plastic Disclosure Project ( for more details on the suggested questions. PDP will align its questions to GRI G4 once finalised to assist organisations in disclosing to PDP and GRI easily. Plastic are in high use in these "activity groups", and can have significant positive, or negative, impacts on the economy, environment and society: Economics: There are significant cost savings available to organisations that treat plastic as a resource (e.g. through redesign, use of recycled content, reclaiming, etc.) and risks of increased direct costs (regulation, liability, cost of capital, insurance) to organisations that do not lead in this area as well as indirect economic costs to impacted industries (e.g. food production, tourism) Environment: Plastics that are wasted or littered become extremely harmful to the environment, which Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 3 of 23

4 will have a material effect on biodiversity and the global food chain, both nearby and far outside the local area of operations Society: Some plastics are harmful to stakeholders during manufacture, use and/or disposal (e.g. due to phthalates, BPA), impact the wellbeing of society (e.g. effect of litter on community spirit and their interest in sustainability). While a valuable invention, which benefits society in many ways, the negative impacts associated with society's growing use of plastic are not fully recognised. Roughly 85% of plastic used in products and packaging is not recycled, and most plastic produced in the last 60 years still remains in the environment today. Approximately 70% of discarded plastic is from single-use food and beverage containers. Discarded plastics persist in the environment for dozens or hundreds of years, accumulating across the globe, often out of sight of the producers and users. The direct physical impacts of plastic are significant to the organisation in increased costs or missed opportunities, and related economies (e.g. over $1.2bn in annual damages to ocean-related industries in Asia-Pacific), the environment through harming habitats and species, and to stakeholders health when exposed to the chemical ingredients; and are magnified if fragmentation of the plastic occurs, making it available for ingestion to additional species, who adsorb the chemical ingredients and/or the toxins carried on the plastic. These negative impacts could be avoided Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 4 of 23

Energy saved due to conservation and efficiency improvements This Indicator demonstrates the results of proactive efforts to improve energy-efficiency through technological improvements of processes and other energy conservation initiatives. Improved energy efficiency can result in cost-savings and can lead to competitive advantages and market differentiation. Supporting efficient energy technology has a direct impact on operational costs, and reduces the reporting organization s future dependency on non-renewable energy sources. Efficient energy use is one key strategy in combating climate change and other environmental impacts created by the extraction and processing of energy. Airport employees generate a significant number of vehicle trips to and from the airport each day, which impacts air quality, airport traffic conditions, and traffic in the communities surrounding the airport and on the freeway system Ground Support Equipment (GSE) include airport taxi trolleys and luggage carry systems. Ground support equipment may have adverse effects on the environment. Airport operators may affect the extent of 10 Mediating Institution 67 Mediating Institution Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 5 of 23

6 this effect by an efficient use of GSE and energy efficient GSE procurement. Increased levels of demand at airports in the United States may result in a growth in airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) activity and an associated increase in airport surface emissions. Local air quality and global climate change concerns, regulatory pressures, and the desire to be environmentally responsible have resulted in a growing number of airport programs around the United States looking to assess and reduce airport emissions. Although much is known about aircraft fleets, operations, and emissions, comparatively little is known about GSE. The available GSE data are outdated, unreliable, and limited. Accurate GSE data are needed by the FAA and airport sponsors to plan adequately and to balance the growing demands of air travel with air quality concerns Initiatives to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions Aircraft Identify modes of ground transportation of passengers, staff, visitors and suppliers within, to and from the airport. Include initiatives to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions (such as public transport and measures to promote the efficient use of private transportation).

7 airplanes, helicopters and other high-altitude aircrafts Emissions to air - GHG emissions Airport operations Aircraft engines produce emissions that are similar to other emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion. However, aircraft emissions are unusual in that a significant proportion is emitted at altitude. These emissions give rise to important environmental concerns regarding their global impact and their effect on local air quality at ground level. Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reductions achieved. Greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of climate change and are governed by the United Nations agreed on the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) and the subsequent Kyoto Protocol. As a result, different national and international regulations and incentive systems (such as trading climate certificates) aim to control the volume and reward the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. When monitored comprehensively, emissions can be reduced effectively (e.g by carefully selecting energy efficient materials, services, or production capacities). This Indicator can be used in combination with EN16 and EN17 to set and monitor reduction targets with reference to regulations or trading systems at international or national levels. Tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions can improve the overall life cycle performance of products and services, and serve as part of a comprehensive design-for-environment program.

8 Management and reduction strategies CO2 Emissions definition of CO2-Footprint, climate- and environmental strategy (target, abatement measures and activities) 143 Business Emissions to air - Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), Carbon monoxide (CO), Lead (Pb), Ozone (O 3 ) and hydrocarbons Airport operations in accordance with European goals to promote sustainable air transport (flightpath 2050 reduction goals) Ambient air quality levels according to pollutant concentrations Airports contribute to air pollution through a variety of activities. In most countries, ambient air quality standards have been established to protect human health and the environment from the impacts of air pollution. These standards are developed based on health impact studies relevant to the country or as prescribed by the World Health (WHO). These standards may cover Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Carbon monoxide (CO), Lead (Pb), Ozone (O3) and hydrocarbons. Particulate Matter (PM) may range from coarse diameters known as Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) to finer particulates (PM10 or PM2.5). Ambient concentration levels of regulated pollutants can affect health conditions for airport workers and neighboring communities. The purpose of this Indicator is to show the context in which the airport operates. The Indicator does not attribute sole responsibility for ambient concentrations to the operator.

9 Aircraft and pavement deicing and/or anti-icing fluid Airport waste management Buffer areas and wildlife management Presence of pathogens and foreign species in waste from international flights can be estimated using the data reported under Indicator AO2. This Indicator further expands on the information reported in EN20. Deicing runoff can contribute to a number of adverse environmental impacts from the deicing products used. There also may be environmental impacts from nondeicing-related pollutants that appear in deicing runoff, but are unrelated to the deicers themselves. There are national regulations to prevent the spread of pathogens or the invasion of foreign species (particularly in relation to waste from international flights). This may require special treatment rendering it unsuitable for recycling. Report on management of waste from international flights as opposed to waste from domestic flights (where waste management can inhibit the spread of pathogens and invasion of foreign species, but also hamper recycling efforts). Report on responsibility for handling sources of waste. Include airport-specific issues such as, for example, the disposal of confiscated materials, de-icing effluent and the airline and service provider waste that is handled by the airport operator. Based on the risk posed to aeronautical operations by potential wildlife strikes, identify policies and procedures to reconcile wildlife management with aviation safety at the airport, and to minimize the impact of airport development and operations on the natural landscape. Report on the management of buffer areas, land set aside for future airport expansion and the ecological value of land not in use, if applicable 72, 513 Mediating Institution Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know?

10 Waste fluids management Storm water Aircraft and pavement deicing and/or anti-icing fluid Management and quality Aircraft and pavement de-icing/anti-icing fluid used and treated Aircraft de-icing and anti-icing fluids play a vital role in the removal and prevention of the accumulation of ice and snow on critical aircraft surfaces to ensure proper operation and public safety. Although airline companies typically arrange for the actual de-icing of the aircraft, it is generally the responsibility of the airport to provide the infrastructure necessary to collect, convey, and/or mitigate the impacts of aircraft de-icing and anti-icing Pavement de-icing and anti-icing chemicals play a vital role in the removal and prevention of the accumulation of ice and snow on active airside surfaces, ensuring proper operation and safety. These chemicals, usually applied by the airport, are significant different than the road salt used on groundside operations. Quality of storm water and storm water management and irrigation, minimization of pollutants and initiatives to capture and reuse storm water. Ensuring effective drainage systems to minimize the effects of storm water on the environment and the operability of the airport is a crucial challenge for airport operators. Storm water can be contaminated by leaks and spills of oil, diesel, and jet fuels during the operation and maintenance of ground service vehicles, and fuel storage and handling activities. The contaminants in storm water can also differ depending on the climatic zone in which an airport is based. Contaminated storm Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know?

11 Noise Aircraft and components water can have major impacts on the environment by polluting the receiving water bodies, including reducing dissolved oxygen levels, decreasing the abundance of organisms and species diversity, contaminating drinking water sources, and other effects. Aircraft noise is noise pollution produced by any aircraft or its components, during various phases of a flight: on the ground while parked such as auxiliary power units, while taxiing, on run-up from propeller and jet exhaust, during takeoff, underneath and lateral to departure and arrival paths, over-flying while en route, or during landing 11, 13 Business Aircraft noise is the single major cause of community opposition to current operations and to airport capacity development to meet future traffic growth Noise Noise is a subjective issue, and perception can be influenced by many factors. Political, economic, social, and public relations issues can all affect attitudes towards noise. In this respect, different solutions and approaches will be effective depending on local circumstances. For aircraft noise, this is reflected in International Civil Aviation s (ICAO) Balanced Approach to Noise Management, which recommends looking for the most cost-effective solutions on an airport-by-airport basis, taking into account the potential contributions from reductions at source, land-use planning, operational procedures and Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 11 of 23

12 operational restrictions. This makes it difficult to prescribe operational indicators with universal application. Nevertheless, an airport s approach to managing noise does provide a qualitative indicator of its commitment to reducing significant noise, and of its relationship with local communities and other stakeholders. Local communities are particularly sensitive to aircraft noise, especially at night. The results reported in this Indicator provide insight into the scale of the impact on local communities from aircraft noise. Report on defining any noise targets or limits applicable to the airport, stating whether they are voluntary or legally binding, and provide an indication of progress; details of noise measurement and monitoring system; mix of aircraft (by noise classification, e.g., ICAO Annex 16, ACI Noise Rating Index); operational measures to minimize noise impact (e.g., Continuous Descent Approach, noise preferential routes, precision navigation, restricted use of reverse thrust, Auxiliary Power Unit restrictions, buffer zones, ground noise policies); flight restrictions (e.g., time and number of movements); systems and policies related to economic incentives/penalties/ surcharges (intended to encourage airlines to reduce aircraft noise); and compensation and noise protection schemes offered by the airport (e.g., number of residential housings with noise protecting windows, money spent on noise insulation schemes).

13 Social Labor conditions Labor unrest among employees and contractors' employees Working conditions Occupational health and safety risks Employees and contractors' employees Accidents, noise exposure, airborne pollutants and pandemic diseases Airports typically include a collection of many employers that have an impact on the operations of the airport. Labor unrest by airport operator contractors (see definition below) can cause significant disruption to airport operations, which in turn can have security implications. Policy on wages (such as minimum wage requirements), benefits, and working conditions for direct employees of the airport operator and its contractors Programs that monitor direct employees exposure to excessive levels of aircraft noise at work. Activities/programs that monitor direct employees exposure to airborne pollutants and/or other hazardous substances, for example related to aircraft/apron/security operations, and measures to mitigate exposure of workers to those pollutants/substances. Report any safety-related permits or certification required of direct employees of the airport operator and airport operator contractors working at the airport to control the accident rate in the hazardous environment. Report policies and practices related to preventing direct employees exposure to contagious pandemic diseases. Report policies, programs or initiatives relating to reduction of health and safety risks for other on airport employees. Health and safety incidents may arise in connection with, for example, ramp work, work around aircraft, ground handling and aircraft servicing equipment, manual labor, around baggage handling, jet blast, noise from operating engines, and emissions.

14 Employee turnover Migrant workers Persons with special needs access to services and facilities Workers with access to secure areas Human trafficking risks Broken down by cause of fatality. Policies to reduce turnover among workers with access to secure areas of the airport, and policies that require the retention of employees by the next contractor. Human trafficking Human trafficking, particularly of women and children, to fulfill needs for cheap labor, sexual exploitation or illegal adoption, often involves trafficking of people across international borders. While statistics about trafficking are unreliable because of the nature of the activity, rough estimates from the International Labor and the United Nations Population Fund suggest that between 700,000 and 2 million women are trafficked across international borders annually. For that reason, multilateral institutions, governments and civil society organizations have targeted detection and education efforts to combat human trafficking at airports. In relation to human trafficking, report policies and programs to create public awareness, to engage authorities in efforts to combat, to train employees in the detection and proper responses to incidents, and to raise awareness among suppliers and other business partners. Provision of services or facilities for persons with special needs Report any provisions for accommodating special needs (e.g., private rooms) for security screening purposes, for example on medical grounds or in response to cultural Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know?

15 sensitivity concerns or disability The right to access the land is not restricted by a narrow interpretation of property rights. The rights holders have human rights, which may not include land ownership rights, partly because some countries do not recognize individual property rights, and partly because some people may not have legal title to the land on which they live or work, but may have customarily done so for years, if not generations. That aspect has huge significance for the landless and other rights are also involved. It affects those with land rights, and those who work on the land, such as sharecroppers, and those who use land seasonally, such as pastoralists or informal businesses common in many parts of Africa. These groups often correlate with those that are already the most vulnerable groups in society (e.g. due to gender, caste or age discrimination). Their not owning property rights does not mean they do not have rights Land use rights 255 Mediating Institution The impact on human rights is felt much before business operations begin even when a company expresses its intention to develop a project in a particular area, there are human rights implications, because of raised expectations within a community. The power asymmetry between State and communities, between private economic interests and individuals or groups, often becomes the determining factor in shaping the land ownership dilemma. Business, civil society, and governments have a common interest in developing a framework that prevents human rights abuses at all Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know?

16 stages of business relationship with land before acquisition, during acquisition, and after operations have commenced and, if necessary, concerning appropriate relocation, rehabilitation and compensation. The extraction of natural resources oil, gas, and mining has commanded considerable attention in the area of business and human rights, but other businesses tourism, manufacturing, infrastructure projects, power plants, public highways, irrigation projects, and even urban office complexes and supermarkets require land. Aircraft safety Wildlife strikes Wildlife strikes by aircraft movement Airport security and screening processes Passengers' privacy and discrimination The risk of wildlife strikes is common to most airports around the world and airport operators often have a range of mitigation measures within their scope of responsibility. The majority of wildlife strikes occur when aircraft are approaching, departing or on airport premises, and consequently the steps taken by airport operators to manage this risk have significant implications for the safety of passengers, crews and ground staff. Although wildlife management systems in general may be considered an environmental issue, wildlife strikes in particular have a direct and potentially very harmful impact on the safety of the people that use an airport. Accordingly, this Performance Indicator is based on the Aspect of Customer Health and Safety. Airport security and screening processes Additionally, airport security and screening processes have human rights implications, including the handling of Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know?

17 Airport services as a public service Service quality management Resettlement and displacement of people Airport construction and planning personal passenger data (such as images obtained through CCTV systems) and the potential for discriminatory practices in security screening processes based on racial or other types of profiling. Report the regulatory context for the screening of persons for security purposes at the airport. Where applicable, report policies and training on the prevention of discrimination in the execution. of security screening, and the violation of basic human rights based on age, gender and gender identity, religion, social/national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability. Report on maintenance of airport services in regions where operating is justified by public service rather than economic considerations Business Continuity and Emergency Preparedness Report on management of events affecting service quality (e.g., Flight Information Display system failure, public address system failure). Disclosures on these issues should include procedures for coordination with external agencies, training and awareness, testing and exercises, program reviews and program audits, measures of preventive controls. Persons physically or economically displaced, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by the airport operator or on its behalf by a governmental or other entity, and compensation provided. Airport construction or expansion and the development of related infrastructure can result in the displacement Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 17 of 23

18 and resettlement of people. Whether voluntary or involuntary, potential impacts may include loss of productive land, loss of employment and income, loss of housing, loss of access to common resources and public services, and social fragmentation. Vulnerable groups can be disproportionately affected by displacement and resettlement. Therefore, where information is available it can be useful to identify the breakdown of those displaced by characteristics such as gender. The issue of displacement and resettlement is of most relevance for airport operators that are engaged in the construction and expansion of airports in multiple locations. It is noted that in addition to airport operators, other actors (e.g., governments, banks) can be responsible for displacement and resettlement. This Indicator can nevertheless indicate the social impact of an airport operator. Compensation of those physically or economically displaced is of importance to community organizations and other stakeholders seeking to verify that displaced persons were compensated fairly. Report the legal context for displacement/ resettlement; policy on monitoring and assessment of psychological and social impacts to individuals and communities affected, and consideration of alternatives; policy on compensation and other assistance for resettlement, including comparison with prior living standards; and grievance mechanisms to address concerns about compensation and relocation or resettlement. This should include policies related to preserving culturally sensitive sites. Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know? Page 18 of 23

Business Continuity and Emergency Preparedness Report policies/programs on business continuity in the event of an emergency (e.g., natural disasters, social or labor unrest, health threats, major infrastructure/critical systems failure). Any policy for mitigating risk that is reviewed and revised regularly should be included. Airports may be subject to a wide range of emergencies, including terrorist threats, natural disasters, aircraft incidents, and outbreaks of worldwide viruses. During the construction of airports, many decisions are made that may affect the surrounding area in terms of, 549 Mediating Institution 458, 514 Mediating Institution Sustainability s for Sectors: What do stakeholders want to know?

Due to engine noise from aircrafts, airports are large sources of noise pollution, with potential effects on the wellbeing of the residents in the surrounding areas and biodiversity. Airports may prevent and mitigate noise effects by appropriate land use and construction planning. Report policies related to assessing the risks and managing the impacts of operations on local communities. 490 Mediating Institution Intermodality Report policies related to assessing the risks and managing the impacts of operations on local communities.
