Energy Efficiency and Environmental Conservation at Passenger Terminals

「From the perspective of sustainability and consideration for the environment, this facility is Haneda Airport’s first facility with a wood-and-steel hybrid structure and is scheduled to open in September this year.」

「Haneda Airport also obtained Level 4 Airport Carbon Accreditation, the carbon-management certification program operated by the Airports Council International (ACI).」

「As part of our efforts toward carbon neutrality by 2050, we began building a supply chain for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and recently joined ACT FOR SKY, which aims to achieve carbon-neutral air travel through the widespread use of SAF.」

「At the Terminal 2 north-side satellite-to-main-building connection facility, which began operations in March this year, we adopted Sunジュール® building-integrated photovoltaic glass to generate energy and obtained certification in September under the JSA standard for buildings and other structures with land-use-efficient PV installations. In addition, at the Terminal 1 north-side satellite facility now under construction for operations to begin around summer 2026, we aim to reduce the environmental burden at every stage from design through construction and operation by using wooden and timber-based construction and various environmental technologies.」

「At the Terminal 2 satellite connection facility, we adopted Sunジュール® building-integrated photovoltaic glass. In addition, to promote the conversion of airport vehicles to EVs, we launched a service at Haneda Airport that provides EVs and charging facilities as an integrated offering, advancing initiatives toward an airport that is friendly to both people and the environment.」

「We were selected as the entity to implement the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's publicly solicited study on establishing a hydrogen supply system using pipelines and other means in airport waterfront areas. Going forward, we will conduct a feasibility study for introducing the use of hydrogen in the Haneda Airport area.」

「In addition, toward achieving a carbon-neutral society, we are considering the conversion of airport vehicles at Haneda Airport to EVs and conducting studies on the use of hydrogen energy.」

「In terms of sustainability, we are working across the company to achieve the Sustainability Medium-Term Plan announced in May, including promoting horizontal recycling of PET bottles collected at passenger terminals through the Bottle-to-Bottle initiative in cooperation with the Japan Soft Drink Association since October.」

「In addition, toward achieving a carbon-neutral society, we are considering the conversion of airport vehicles at Haneda Airport to EVs and conducting studies on the use of hydrogen energy.」

「We recognize climate change as an important issue in continuing our business while pursuing an environmentally friendly airport compatible with social sustainability. In accordance with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations, we began disclosing information on 4 areas: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. We will continue implementing specific measures toward our 2030 and 2050 CO2 emissions reduction targets.」

「In addition, we are pursuing initiatives toward carbon neutrality, including considering the conversion of airport vehicles at Haneda Airport to EVs and surveying potential demand for hydrogen energy.」

「Outside Haneda Airport, in our Radi-Cool sales agency business, we have increased the number of installations, mainly at other domestic airports, viewing the momentum toward building a decarbonized society as a business opportunity.」

「In addition, for Radi-Cool, a radiative-cooling material for which we serve as a sales agent, we are increasing the number of installations at other domestic airports and elsewhere. We are also pursuing initiatives to reduce the environmental burden and build a circular economy, including holding HANEDA Fashion Swap vol.2, an event for collecting and exchanging unwanted clothing.」

「In February, a study group of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on CO2 reductions in the airport sector presented a target for each airport to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 46% from 2013 levels by 2030. Haneda Airport is working toward this target, led by the Tokyo International Airport Eco-Airport Council.」

「Regarding our response to environmental issues, following Haneda Airport's selection in July as one of the airports targeted for priority studies by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to advance specific studies toward airport decarbonization, the Tokyo International Airport Eco-Airport Council, chaired by the Director of Tokyo International Airport, will compile measures going forward to reduce the environmental burden across Haneda Airport. We have already met the greenhouse-gas emissions reduction obligations imposed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on large-scale facilities, and as a member of the council we will work diligently with the businesses operating at Haneda Airport toward a decarbonized society and carbon neutrality by 2050.」

「As part of our efforts to address environmental issues, we met the required emissions reductions under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's total greenhouse-gas emissions reduction obligations for large-scale facilities in both the first planning period (fiscal 2010–2014) and the second planning period (fiscal 2015–2019). We also participate in the Tokyo International Airport Eco-Airport Council, whose members are the businesses operating at Haneda Airport and whose chair is the Director of Tokyo International Airport, and are working to achieve the specific implementation plans and targets formulated by the council to reduce the environmental burden across Haneda Airport. In addition, Haneda Airport was selected in July as one of the airports targeted for priority studies by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to advance specific studies toward airport decarbonization. The council will compile the results going forward, and as a member we will work diligently toward a decarbonized society and carbon neutrality by 2050.」

「As part of our efforts to address environmental issues, our group participates, together with many businesses operating at Haneda Airport, in the Tokyo International Airport Eco-Airport Council, established with the Director of Tokyo International Airport as its chair. We are working to achieve the Tokyo International Airport Environmental Plan, formulated by the council to set specific implementation plans and targets for reducing the environmental burden across Haneda Airport, including reductions in energy use and waste. In addition, we achieved the total greenhouse-gas emissions reduction obligations imposed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on large-scale facilities in both the first planning period (fiscal 2010–2014) and the second planning period (fiscal 2015–2019). We will continue to work diligently toward a decarbonized society and carbon neutrality by 2050.」

「As part of our ESG initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions in support of a decarbonized society, construction of the new recycling building, which had been under way to address the increase in waste generated at Haneda Airport, was completed in December last year, in addition to ongoing initiatives such as converting lighting to LEDs. Furthermore, charging facilities with built-in batteries have been installed sequentially since February in the domestic terminal's arrivals lobby and gate lounges to improve passenger convenience and prepare for large-scale disasters.」

「We also acquired the distribution rights for Radi-Cool, a radiative-cooling film that improves cooling efficiency, and will market it to other airports and elsewhere based on the results of trials at Haneda Airport.」

「As part of our ESG initiatives, we began construction of a new recycling building in February to address the expected increase in waste generated at Haneda Airport and promote more efficient waste processing with consideration for the global environment, with operations scheduled to begin during fiscal 2020. In March, we also became the first domestic airport to switch shopping bags to Bio LIMEX Bag, made primarily from limestone and plant-derived resin, with introduction at all directly operated stores scheduled by June. This is expected to reduce Haneda Airport's annual use of petroleum-derived plastics by approximately 462 tonnes and annual CO2 emissions by approximately 1,000 tonnes.」

「In consideration of the marine plastic waste problem, we have discontinued the provision of plastic straws at our directly operated restaurants and lounges at Haneda and Narita airports, pursuing a reduction of approximately 1 million straws annually, among other initiatives that take the environment into account.」
