Environmental Management Approach

Our environmental values are consistent across the group, but our diverse businesses operate in different industries, markets, and stages of maturity. Each subsidiary develops and executes its own tailored environmental strategy, guided by group-level goals as a minimum standard. Because our companies vary in their impact and control over emissions, water, and waste, we focus on embedding strong governance and sustainability practices across all operations—ensuring every business contributes to our shared commitment to environmental responsibility.

Environmental Highlights Across Our Businesses

Menzies Aviation

  • Our largest business, Menzies Aviation, has set science-based targets to achieve net zero across all three scopes by 2045. This commitment was a first for the aviation services sector and sets ambitious milestones internally and within its value chain. In 2024 Menzies Aviation became the first major aviation services provider to have its net-zero targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
  • Since 2022 Menzies Aviations’ scopes 1 & 2 emissions intensity as measured by tCO2e per $‘000 revenue has decreased more than 30%; and as measured by tCO2e by employee headcount it has decreased by over 18%.
  • Menzies Aviation has a global goal to have 25% electric ground support equipment (GSE) by 2025. Menzies takes an ‘electric first’ approach to all new GSE, wherever possible across its global operations. Menzies Aviation added over 850 electric GSE assets in 2024, achieving 22% electric GSE globally. More than 40% of GSE in Europe is electric. The company’s refurbishment and repower workshops in the U.S. Los Angeles (LAX) and Las Vegas (LAS) airports convert diesel baggage tractors to electric. In 2024 eight baggage tractor refurbishments to electric were completed, with a further 60 planned for 2025. The company can perform fully electric turns at several locations and it is on track to meet its target of 25% electric motorized GSE globally by 2025.
  • Menzies Aviation has increased use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) as a replacement for diesel. HVO is now used in San Diego, Arlanda, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Oslo, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Ana and London Heathrow with increased locations and volumes planned for 2025. HVO is a good interim step to reduce emissions while we convert our GSE fleet to electric.
  • Menzies Aviation has developed emissions reporting capability within its Air Menzies International eCommerce API product, providing its partner agents with emissions data for each shipment profile calculated using a set standard, enabling all parties to consider and choose lower emissions routing choices.
  • To reduce energy and water consumption, and environmental impact, Menzies Aviation is testing smart buildings solutions in London Heathrow Cargo and Sydney Cargo to provide energy use insights and environmental conditions indicators including temperature, humidity and air quality. Lessons learned in these locations will be applied to other operations locations in the future.
  • In 2023, Menzies Aviation made the transition to a biodegradable plastic — BioNaturPlastic™ — for its cargo operations at four US locations. During 2024 Menzies Aviation increased the use of BioNatur Plastics across the Americas region, offering a more sustainable alternative to virgin single-use plastic sheeting, with all products being recyclable and biodegradable. BioNatur is used in several of Americas cargo locations including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX); San Francisco International Airport (SFO); Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI); Chicago Rockford International (RFD), Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ), with Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) joining soon. Menzies also uses this product in Prague, Czech Republic. In 2023 and 2024 the Menzies Aviation Americas team’s use of BioNatur products reduced long-term plastic waste by the equivalent of over 9.9m 16oz plastic bottles.
  • Menzies Aviation has set a target of zero cargo waste to landfill by end 2026. The company is actively integrating circular economy practices into its operations by extending the lifespan of GSE through refurbishment programs, implementing closed-loop recycling practices for materials like uniform textiles and packaging, and recycling or refurbishing old electrical equipment, such as laptops. By reducing single-use plastics, repurposing decommissioned assets, and sourcing sustainable alternatives, we are lowering our environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Menzies Aviation has a target to reduce paper by 10% in 2025 based on 2024 volumes. To reach this target the company has implemented a number of impactful paper reduction initiatives within the company’s processes and systems, and paper tracking and reporting. Menzies Aviation monitors its global printing volumes monthly and its operational and IT teams work collaboratively to make technical improvements and work together drive behavioral change to support its paper reduction goals.
