In 2014-2015, the airport successfully reduced carbon emissions by 10% and water usage per passenger by 9.1%, compared to 2012-2013.

It also ranks in the top 15% of UK organisations in a qualitative assessment of waste management policies and practice, due to its enhanced waste recycling, reuse and recovery capabilities.

Gatwick has used energy and water-efficient design and engineering for its buildings, replaced existing airport lighting with more energy-efficient lamps, and separated waste for recycling.

The airport has also worked in close collaboration with its partners to maintain strict environmental standards.
