New 5-year Environmental Plan for Kansai Three Airports

Kansai Airports Group is delighted to announce a new five-year Environmental Plan (2018-2022) to further accelerate its integrated efforts to reduce the environmental footprints atthe three airports in the Kansai region: Kansai International Airport (KIX), Osaka International Airport (ITAMI) and Kobe Airport (KOBE).

This five-year plan, covering all three airports, encompasses the following four pillars:
• Response to climate change
• Resource usage
• Harmonious coexistence with the surrounding environment
• Environmental management
Under these pillars, specific strategic goals and tasks are defined to serve as performance indicators for our future activities.

Kansai Airports Group is committed to strengthen its efforts to reduce environmental impacts, to fulfil its social responsibilities and to tackle environmental issues on a local and global scale.

As June is designated as “Environment Month” by the Ministry of Environment, Kansai Airports Group will hold a number of events at the three airports in this month with the aim of promoting environmental awareness in accordance with the Environmental Plan.
