The charter sets out a clear framework that encourages suppliers and business partners to support with Bristol Airport’s environmental values and to encourage and to adopt the Airport’s sustainable practices, particularly in areas such as carbon reduction, responsible sourcing, waste reduction, energy efficiency, as well as supporting skills & employment in the region and maximising its wider social impact on the local community. The initiative forms part of the airport’s sustainability strategy, which aims to achieve Net Zero airport operations by 2030 and work with its value chain to achieve net zero by 2050.

The new Supply Chain Sustainability Charter marks a milestone for Bristol Airport as it becomes the first regional airport outside of London to track and score the performance of organisations it works with to enhance efforts to reduce emissions and waste. Bristol Airport will not only measure the direct emissions, those directly attributable to Bristol Airport but also capture data under its indirect emissions, known as Scope 3 emissions.

The Airport has made the commitment in its Sustainability Strategy 2023-2028 to develop a supplier code of conduct and scorecard to actively track and encourage suppliers and business partners to adopt more sustainable practices. All suppliers to Bristol Airport will be expected to uphold and advocate the expectations across each sustainability focus area and the metrics identified in this Charter will apply across the Airport’s supply chain through a defined roll-out process.

Hannah Pollard, Head of Sustainability, Bristol Airport said: “We recognise that reducing our environmental impact is not something we can do alone. This Supply Chain Sustainability Charter is a powerful step forwards in working collaboratively with our suppliers and business partners to create a more resilient Airport environment.
