Scope 3 emissions, notably from the use of sold products, contributed the vast majority at around 19.37 billion kg CO2e.

In 2022, total emissions were approximately 14.94 billion kg CO2e.

Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited is committed to reducing its environmental impact. By 2030, the company aims to ensure all airport operational vehicles emit zero emissions or use biofuels, anticipating an approximately 87% reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from a 2023 baseline. Furthermore, over 50% of Heathrow-operated vehicles are already electric, with a target for a fully electric fleet by the end of 2025. The company is also developing a strategy to minimise avoidable waste produced at Heathrow, following a 9.8% decrease in total waste to 21,687 tonnes in 2023 from 23,934 tonnes in 2019.
