To publish a 2010 carbon footprint<br />

in the 2010 Corporate Responsibility<br />

Report, together with a detailed <strong>report</strong> of<br />

activities we have undertaken to reduce<br />

emissions at the airport<br />

2010 carbon footprint was 9% lower than in<br />

2009. The reduction in flights and passenger<br />

numbers has contributed partly to this. Direct<br />

emissions were 2.6% lower than 2009<br />

We will continue to challenge our<br />

airline partners to maintain agreed track<br />

keeping standards at <strong>London</strong> <strong>Stansted</strong><br />

98.4% of flights on track during 2010 (vs<br />

98.2% in 2009). All routes improved except<br />

Clacton departure from Runway 22. Specific<br />

trials been carried out to improve track keeping<br />

performance on the Clacton route<br />

Noise<br />

We will start to implement measures and<br />

commitments as detailed in our Noise<br />

Action Plan, once formally adopted<br />

by DEFRA, and make public the final<br />

approved version of the Plan<br />

<strong>Airport</strong> Noise Action Plan formally approved by<br />

UK government 19th May 2011.<br />

STAL increased departure noise infringement<br />

fines along with introducing improved noise<br />

complaint handling policies in 2010<br />

We will review our communications<br />

material and update our noise website<br />

Our ‘web track’ system has been upgraded<br />

in 2010<br />

Key to performance results:<br />

Target not achieved<br />

The target actions have not been progressed,<br />

or performance is lower than last year<br />

Some progress made<br />

The target has not been achieved, but actions have<br />

been carried out towards delivering the target and<br />

performance is better than last year<br />

Target achieved<br />

All the actions are completed and items delivered.<br />

Performance has reached the target level<br />

Target bettered<br />

More actions have been completed than<br />

planned against the target and performance<br />

is better than the target<br />

Air quality<br />

Water<br />

To conduct at least 1 trial of alternative<br />

fuel vehicles at the airport by 31st<br />

December 2010<br />

To reduce STAL’s contribution to CO 2<br />

emissions against 2009 by 5%, to 49,617<br />

tonnes<br />

To recycle 50% of airport waste*<br />

including composting by 31 December<br />

2010<br />

To construct and commission the new<br />

pumping station and reservoir at<br />

Balancing Pond D by 31st December<br />

2010<br />

Trial of hydrogen generation, storage and<br />

vehicle refuelling planned in 2010. Trial took<br />

place March 2011<br />

In 2010 we reduced our emissions by 2.62%<br />

on 2009 to 50,838 tonnes of CO 2<br />

. This was<br />

influenced by the extremely cold start and end<br />

to the year which meant our gas consumption<br />

was unusually high. Our electricity consumption,<br />

which comprises the majority of our energy use,<br />

fell by 4.74% on 2009. This was largely due to<br />

improvements made in asset controls<br />

54.79% of airport waste was recycled<br />

or composted<br />

The new balancing pond D construction began<br />

in mid October 2010 and was commissioned by<br />

the end of January 2011<br />
