Heathrow Airport Limited

Heathrow Airport Limited, based in the UK, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19.40 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 28.05 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) emissions of approximately 56.34 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 19.37 billion kg CO2e. The majority of their Scope 3 emissions in 2024 came from the use of sold products, totalling approximately 18.96 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, their total emissions were about 18.77 billion kg CO2e in 2023, 14.94 billion kg CO2e in 2022, 8.25 billion kg CO2e in 2021, 8.87 billion kg CO2e in 2020, and 21.04 billion kg CO2e in 2019.

Heathrow Airport Limited has set ambitious climate commitments. They aim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across all scopes by 2050. They have also committed to several near-term absolute reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These include reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. This Scope 3 reduction specifically covers emissions from upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and downstream leased assets. Furthermore, Heathrow aims for 67% of its suppliers (by emissions covering purchased goods and services and capital goods) to set science-based targets by 2027, and 67% of customers (by emissions covering use of sold products) to set science-based targets by 2027.

Additional targets include an 87% cut in carbon emissions from airport vehicles (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2030 and a 36% reduction in supply chain carbon emissions (Scope 3) by 2030.
