Environment Management Policy

In facing intensified global warming and frequent climate change, tackling climate change has been fused into the overall strategy of national economic and social development. A solemn commitment has been made on striving to achieve “Dual Carbon Goals” of carbon peak and carbon neutrality with adopting more vigorous policies and measures for carbon reduction. To cope with the national development strategy, Macao S.A.R. is also focusing on green development by chartering the direction of attaining the goals for carbon reduction.

Macau International Airport as one of major infrastructures in Macao and the gateway to other countries and regions, Macau International Airport Co. Ltd. (CAM) has a spontaneous sense of responsibility of taking the lead in our respective sector to connect with the overall national and regional green development at an accelerated pace, while managing the Macau International Airport with the core value of "Safety, Efficiency and Effectiveness”. In this regard, CAM has set up the relevant management teams to foster the sectoral stakeholders’ engagement practices through establishing “Airport Environmental Management Programme” with appropriate measures. It materializes the milestone in our trajectory of carbon reduction, resulting to facilitate our Green Airport in a more exemplary way.
