Environmental Stewardship
A key development in 2017 was the
establishment of a Green & Environmental
Affairs Department in AirAsia to address
the issue of climate change. Four Allstars
have been appointed to the ‘Green
Team’, tasked with overlooking and
managing three main focus areas, namely:
Operations & Facilities Environmental
Management, Policies & Research, as well
as Awareness & Engagement.
Operations & Facilities Environmental
Management
The Green Team continued to build
on existing recycling activities while
also managing our waste management
processes.
• Cabin recycling.
The initiative
launched by our associate in India
was expanded to Malaysia as well
as our AOCs in the Philippines and
Indonesia, with Thailand to join soon.
In Malaysia, back-end processes
have been standardised, ensuring
that all materials collected on board
are recycled via licensed vendors. An
average of 1.2 tonnes of recyclables
was collected each month, and money
from the recycling channelled into a
Red Heart Fund, benefiting Allstars in
need.
• Recycling of our inflight Travel3Sixty°
magazine.
As of August, all the
magazines are returned to klia2 to be
recycled, with money collected going
towards the Red Heart Fund as well.
• Recycling at RedQ and all other station
offices in Malaysia.
In addition to full-
recycling at our offices, discussions
are ongoing between our food
operator and a composting machine
provider. Compost produced will be
used for landscaping at RedQ and
given away for free to Allstars for their
own gardening needs.
• Scheduled waste.
All spent fuel and
oil as well as industrial waste (metal
scrap, used batteries, etc) are disposed
of according to regulations.
Policies & Research
At its 39th Assembly Meeting, the ICAO
Council adopted the Carbon Offsetting
& Reduction Scheme for International
Aviation (CORSIA) to help the aviation
industry achieve carbon neutral growth
from the year 2020 onwards. Under
this scheme, aircraft operators with
international flights are required to offset
their annual increase of carbon emissions
above their 2019-2020 baseline.
The Green Team is ensuring that AirAsia
will be ready to comply with CORSIA when
it is implemented on 1 January 2019. A
regional CORSIA Committee has been set
up, and capacity-building initiatives have
been conducted across the Group. We
are in the midst of preparing Monitoring,
Reporting and Verification (MRV) plans
for the Group, which each state’s aviation
authority is required to submit to ICAO
before implementation begins.
