Striving to become a low-impact airport

Our mission is to become a low-impact airport and remain a responsible neighbour. Looking ahead to 2030, we are working to set ambitious targets to reduce our impact across key areas within pollution and nature, as well as to work strategically on climate adaptation.

The pollution programme

This is our effort to acknowledge the impact of daily airport operations and the pollution they generate, whether it affects air quality, water and soil, or contributes to noise.

We are committed to improving the local air quality, minimising noise affecting the local area, and protecting soil and water through pollutant containment, water reuse, and the ongoing development of technical solutions for collecting and treating water from various airport activities.

Our nature programme

The focus on nature is a new initiative for Copenhagen Airports, and we are still in the early stages of our work in this programme. It encompasses considerations of the natural surroundings and an understanding of the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

We will address our impacts on nature, both directly and through our value chain, to understand our resilience towards and for nature. The first step in this endeavour will be to promote more diverse planting in our own areas, in collaboration with the Danish NGO Vild med Vilje. This initiative aims not only to reduce our impact on our own grounds but also to spread the message of biodiversity to our many passengers and employees.
