Manchester Airports Group achieves massive carbon emissions cuts


One of the UK’s most important airport operators, the Manchester Airports Group (MAG) has seen the total carbon emissions from all of its airports fall by 16% over the past year, according to its latest CSR report.

The Group, whose airports include Manchester, London Stansted, East Midlands and Bournemouth – 48.5 million passangers each year – has reduced net carbon emissions by 15.8% across all sites; from 23,387 tonnes in 2013/14 to 19,690 in 2014/15.

MAG’s CSR director Neil Robinson said: “The figures we are releasing today demonstrate the powerful role that airports across the country play in generating wider social and economic benefit for their local communities and the UK economy.

“In a year when we have transported record numbers of passengers, we have also managed to significantly reduce our environmental impact.”

HeatingSave – delivering impressive energy savings at a very low initial cost

Energy management systems might represent a sizeable investment for any company, but the rapidly rising energy prices can actually deliver a very rapid return on investment, experts in the field have argued.

A recent paper on this topic has argued that over half of firms have appointed a senior director to manage energy spending and implement energy efficiency measures.

The range of energy saving programmes directors can vary largely, depending on the available funding, the company’s size, premises, site specifics.

However, regardless of the particular approach, directors who are serious about slashing their energy bills will need to consider retrofitting their premises in some way, whether we’re talking about putting in renewable energy measures or more complex Building Energy Management Systems.

An energy management and monitoring system can help companies stay on top of their energy usage and reduce their overall bills by running their light/heating systems in an optimum manner.
