Energy-efficient climate protection Environment Around 2 % of the CO2 emissions caused by humans worldwide are ascribed to civil aviation by the International Energy Agency. In contrast to air carriers – i.e. the airlines – airport operation itself only makes up a very minor proportion of this. Responsibility for the rise in average temperatures on the earth has been attributed to the increasing concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, with recognized drastic consequences for humans and nature. Even the smallest measure helps to reduce CO2 emissions and therefore protect the environment and our living spaces. Even at an international air traffic hub such as Frank- furt Airport, small measures can allow many thousands of tons of the greenhouse gas to be saved. Using energy efficiently, reducing consumption, and therefore making a contri- bution to environmental protection has been important to Fraport for some time. In figures, this means reducing the CO2 emissions that Fraport AG itself is responsible for by 30 % per passenger or 100 kg of cargo at the Frankfurt site by 2020 compared to 2005’s figures. This corresponds to the second goal: Total CO2 emissions should not exceed 238,000 metric tons in 2020. Measuring consumption and targeted intervention We have improved our data basis in order to identify high energy consumption and its caus- es and introduce energy efficiency measures. Since 2013, the values of energy consumption and CO2 emissions have been generated from SAP based on causes and are made available for further analysis each month. Fraport has also been contributing its climate reporting externally to the “Carbon Disclosure Project” (CDP), the world’s leading climate reporting initiative in the financial industry. It analyzes companies and their strategies on climate changeandCO2 reporting. Since2006, Fraport has been participating in the CDP and it was listed for the fifth time in succession in the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) in the “DACH” region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). This index lists the best 10 % of participating companies. Fraport is one of 2 companies from the “Transportation” sector to be listed in this index. GreenTec Award for e-mobility project “E-PORT AN”, the joint project of Fraport, Lufthansa, the State of Hesse, and the “Rhine- Main electromobility model region” won the GreenTec Award in the Air Traffic category in 2014. The GreenTec Award is Europe’s largest environmental and business award. The goal of the various projects bundled under “E-PORT AN” is to reduce CO2 emissions when handling aircraft on the ground. Alternative drive tech- nologies will be tested. The scope ranges from aircraft tow tractors with diesel-electric hybrid drives to purely battery-powered pallet loaders for plane loading, as well as electric vans and even solar-powered airstairs. In addition, a total of 21 electric cars were included in employee car pools. A photovoltaic facility integrated into the facade of the Fraport corporate headquar- ters provides power for the electric vehicles parked in the car pool there. 42 2014 CompactResponsible Corporate Management 422014 CompactResponsible Corporate Management
