Heathrow Airport Limited

Heathrow Airport Limited, headquartered in GB and operating in the air transport services industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19.4 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 28.05 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) of about 56.34 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 19.37 billion kg CO2e. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions in 2024 stemmed from the use of sold products, accounting for around 18.96 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, Heathrow Airport Limited's total emissions were approximately 18.77 billion kg CO2e in 2023, 14.94 billion kg CO2e in 2022, 8.25 billion kg CO2e in 2021, and 8.87 billion kg CO2e in 2020. In 2019, their total emissions were about 21.04 billion kg CO2e.

Heathrow Airport Limited has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Near-term targets include an 87% reduction in carbon emissions from airport vehicles by 2030 (covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions), and a 36% cut in supply-chain carbon emissions (Scope 3) by 2030.

The company's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, which are directly from Heathrow Airport Limited, include reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions (from upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and downstream leased assets) by 46.2% by 2030, from a 2019 base year. These SBTi targets also specify that 67% of suppliers by emissions (covering purchased goods and services and capital goods) and 67% of customers by emissions (covering use of sold products) will set science-based targets by 2027. The targets covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
