Why ESG is important to us

Robin Tudor, Head of PR & Communications at Liverpool John Lennon Airport explains more about the airport’s ESG commitments:

Here at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA), we have just published our first annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report which sets out a number of corporate objectives for the Airport based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This highlights a series of commitments, alongside challenging but realistic targets to help us meet these commitments, which includes our recently announced Airport Community Fund. The report is also an opportunity to highlight for the first time the diverse range of initiatives that we have undertaken in recent years to help local communities and the environment, to encourage passenger travel for all and to become an employer of choice.

Operating within a strong ESG framework has been a key focus for the airport in recent years, but this is the first time that we have reported on some of our achievements that have benefitted not only passengers, but local communities, the local economy and also the environment. The airport has undertaken a diverse range of initiatives that include raising £230,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, donating over 4 tonnes of items to local foodbanks, supporting young people in to work through apprenticeships
