Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero carbon growth until 2030, capping absolute carbon emissions at 2018 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAG is committed to cutting carbon emissions while improving resource efficiency. CAG will cap absolute carbon emissions at 2018 levels until 2030, even with the growing number of passengers that Changi Airport is expected to serve in the years ahead. CAG strives towards a Net Zero aspiration by 2050 through new technologies and the increased adoption of renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAG\u2019s inaugural climate resilience study maps climate impacts to 2050<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAG embarked on a detailed assessment of the impacts of evolving climate factors, such as rising ambient temperatures and greater rainfall intensity. Climate risks are mapped up to 2050 for airport-wide adaptation, and solutions are being developed to address them. For instance, in response to increased rainfall, CAG has expanded Changi\u2019s drainage network and installed sensors linked to a real-time data dashboard for better flood risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.9% decrease in overall water consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from improving chiller condensate and wastewater recycling capabilities, CAG continues to save water. Changi has reduced the use of potable and non-potable water, ranging from toilets and building cooling systems to irrigation and cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11% of waste diverted from incineration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAG optimises waste management by reducing waste at source, encouraging good recycling practices and implementing effective waste collection systems. Close collaboration and communication with licensed contractors, airport partners and cleaners have enabled CAG to identify opportunities to use resources more efficiently. Projects embarked on over the past year included the upcycling of building materials and composting of horticultural waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAG continued to focus efforts in creating and maintaining an empowering environment for employees to develop while making a purposeful difference to the growth of Singapore’s air hub, the aviation community and Singapore. These are the notable awards won:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
