Two of the most noteworthy milestones achieved in 2019 were the reduction of plastic waste by 4,740 kilos, mainly through the phased elimina- tion of single-use plastic bot- tles, and the lowering of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emis- sions intensity by 7.4 per cent to stand at 0.74 kg of CO2/pas- senger. Over the past five years, the company has been successful in registering year-on-year drops in its GHG emissions intensi- ty per passenger through the gradual implementation of its energy-saving programme and an investment of more than €1.2 million in photovoltaic panels between 2016 and 2019. "A more environmentally conscious operation and com- pany-wide education will en- able us to honour our pledge of reaching carbon neutrality for emissions under our con- trol by 2050: a commitment we formally undertook last year by signing Airports Council Inter- national's NetZero 2050 Res- olution," Malta International Airport CEO Alan Borg said. In line with the social pillar of sustainability, the company also sought to provide more value to the stakeholder groups upon which it has a direct im- pact. Throughout 2019, in fact, airport employees benefitted from11,908hours of training. Malta International Airport also engaged in philanthropic activities benefitting the local community, with a special fo- cus on the airport's neighbour- ing villages. With the third pillar of sus- tainability being economic, the company reported that 2019 was another profitable year which enabled it to increase the economic value it distrib- uted in the form of employee wages and benefits, payments to providers of capital and to government by 9.1% over 2018 to total more than €74 million. Malta International Airport's greenhouse gas emissions intensity down 7.4% in 2019 Plastic waste reduced by more than 4,700 kilos over 2018
