A vision built around sustainability

Our sustainability strategy

We are deploying our sustainability strategy through 2030, built around three priority commitments spanning the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions.

Our targets for 2030, 2037, and 2050 are structured around these three pillars.

 

Environment

Reducing our carbon footprint: We aim to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by 2037 across our entire platform, and to actively contribute to achieving a 90% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050 alongside the aviation industry.

Social

Reducing our noise footprint: We aim to reduce the noise footprint of air traffic – measured as exposed surface area – by 20% by 2030.

 

Governance

Governance commitment: Achieve Gold level EcoVadis certification by 2030 and improve our ratings in non‑financial performance assessments.

Greenhouse gases

 

We published a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategy (french) in 2024, setting ambitious targets.

 

Scope 1 and Scope 2

Reaching net zero by 2037

Emissions under our operational control

Scope 3

Support the aviation sector’s pathway to net zero by 2050

Emissions generated by our partners

Connection to the GeniLac district heating and cooling network

One of our key measures to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

Limits on evening take‑offs

We introduced a noise‑quota system on 1 January 2025 to encourage airlines to reduce late departures after 10 p.m. Once their quotas are exhausted, night‑time take‑offs are subject to a strongly dissuasive surcharge.

Soundproofing support for local residents

 

We introduced a building soundproofing programme in 2003 for properties located near the airport.

Since 2004, 4,483 homes (719 buildings) have been soundproofed, representing a total investment of 67.93 million Swiss francs.
