Leadership highlights
“We are the first major aviation 
services provider with net-zero 
targets approved by the Science 
Based Targets initiative (SBTi), 
demonstrating our commitment 
to our ESG targets. We’re on 
track to meet our ambitious 
target of 25% electric GSE by 
2025, with 46% of GSE in Europe 
already electric and 22% globally. 
This progress demonstrates our 
commitment to the future and 
meeting our All In targets.”
 
John Geddes 
Chief Governance & Sustainability 
Officer & Company Secretary
“2024 has been a year of growth 
and building new connections. 
We launched a new Front of 
House uniform to empower 
our teams and introduced an 
all-colleague communication app 
to unite our global workforce. 
We welcomed over 5,000 new 
colleagues including those in 
Spain, Portugal, Serbia, and 
Hong Kong. This expansion not 
only reflects our growing global 
footprint but also strengthens 
our culture of teamwork and 
shared success.” 
 
 
Juliet Thomson
Chief People Officer
“2024 was a record-breaking year 
for both the aviation industry 
and Menzies Aviation, with 
unprecedented growth in global 
travel demand, a record number 
of passengers, and more flights 
and cargo than ever before. 
Expanding to 300 airports 
worldwide and being recognised 
as the largest global player in 
aviation services by countries, 
airports and aircraft turns was 
a dream come true. These 
milestones reflect our growth, 
dedication, and the strong sense 
of family we share at Menzies.” 
 
Hassan El-Houry
Executive Chairman
“We became the largest aviation 
services provider in the world, 
operating in 300 airports across 
65 countries. We launched Pearl 
Executive Aviation, expanded our 
team to 50,000, began providing 
full ground handling services in 
Belgrade, Serbia, commenced 
ground handling operations 
at seven airports in Spain and 
completed key acquisitions in

milestones reflect the hard work 
and passion of our team, driving 
our growth and setting new 
standards in aviation services  
for 2025.”
 
Philipp Joeinig
Group Chief Executive Officer
“Over the past 12 months, we’ve 
seen significant growth, which 
has strengthened our global 
position. We experienced a 
record-breaking year across 
ground, fuel and air cargo 
services and expanded our 
footprint with both organic and 
inorganic growth. Our business 
strategy is delivering responsible 
and sustainable growth and I’m 
pleased that we have achieved 
our fourth-year of double digit 
revenue growth. We are poised 
for continued growth and 
success in 2025.”
 
Alvaro Gomez 
Chief Financial Officer
“Our bi-annual MORSE Weeks 
highlight our commitment to 
safety and security. In October, 
I visited Portugal, where local 
teams demonstrated their 
dedication. Another milestone 
was the opening of the AMI 
Terminal in Johannesburg, 
delivered on time and on budget. 
We also successfully took 
over SAA cargo terminals in 
Johannesburg and Cape Town. 
Thanks to our teams commitment 
to excellence, we’ve set the stage 
for even greater success in 2025.”

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
 Statement from the
 Executive Chairman
2024 was a record breaking year 
for the aviation industry and for our 
company. As global travel demand 
soared, we experienced unprecedented 
growth, welcoming a record number of 
passengers, and managing more flights 
and cargo tonnes than ever before. 
Alongside this surge of activity, we 
set new company milestones. For the 
fourth year running, our business has 
delivered double-digit revenue growth. 
We expanded the number of airports we 
serve and managed more aircraft turns 
than in any previous year.
This growth is only set to continue 
with another year of anticipated 
firsts. In 2025, passenger 
numbers are projected to exceed 
5.2 billion for the first time, with 
more than 40 million flights 
expected to take to the skies. 
Industry revenues are also on 
track to reach record highs, driven 
by demand, investment, and 
technological advancements that 
enhance operational efficiencies. 
The aviation industry is a powerful 
and positive force in the world, 
driving global connectivity and 
economic growth while enriching 
lives in countless ways. It connects 
people across continents, enables 
cultural exchange, and fosters 
international collaboration. 
Beyond passenger travel, aviation 
plays a critical role in delivering 
time-sensitive cargo and shaping 
industries and societies on a 
global scale. It is a key driver to 
global economic development, 
contributing $4.1 trillion to  
global GDP and supports 86.5 
million direct jobs worldwide. It 
is a force for good — bringing 
people together, bridging gaps 
between nations, and helping 
to build a more connected and 
prosperous world. 
At Menzies Aviation, our role is 
to deliver the safest, most secure 
and sustainable aviation services 
tailored to our customers’ needs. 
Our operations are fuelled by 
our more than 50,000-strong 
team - the backbone of our 
operations who work tirelessly to 
deliver exceptional value to every 
customer, every flight served, and 
every piece of cargo handled. 
This year, we successfully 
expanded to 300 airports across 
65 countries - a testament to our 
success in connecting dynamic 
global markets, all while ensuring 
the safety of our operations.
The safety of our people and 
operations is not just a priority; 
it is deeply embedded in our 
culture. We are unwavering in 
our commitment to provide a 
safe and secure environment for 
our employees, customers, and 
partners. We are committed to 
investing in sustainability and 
achieving net zero by 2045. 
We were the first major aviation 
services provider to have our net 
zero targets approved by the 
Science Based Targets initiative 
(SBTi) and want to remain a 
leader in ESG. We are poised to 
build on our achievements and 
continue delivering exceptional 
value to our airline customers and 
airport partners.
Looking ahead, our vision remains 
clear: to be the world’s leading 
aviation services provider. We 
are confident about the future 
and ready to contribute to the 
industry’s continued success. 
Our path forward is guided by 
our commitment to responsible 
expansion, operational excellence, 
and adapting to shifting market 
dynamics. 
We cannot do this without the 
people that make Menzies who it 
is, and their passion and pride for 
our business. Thank you to our 
employees, whose commitment 
shines through every day. It is a 
privilege to work alongside such 
a dedicated and talented team 
as we strive to be the undisputed 
global leader in aviation services.
We remain committed to creating 
an environment where our people 
can thrive, encouraging career 
growth, inclusion, and attracting 
the top talent in the industry. Our 
vision is not just about being the 
best at what we do, but to elevate 
standards, and deliver seamless, 
high-quality services. 
On behalf of the Board 
of Directors, I extend our 
heartfelt appreciation to all the 
stakeholders of Menzies Aviation: 
Our airline customers, our airport 
partners, team-members and 
their families, and members of our 
communities across the globe. 
Thank you.

BUSINESS REVIEW
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
 Group CEO: 2024 review
As we close the chapter on 2024, I’m 
incredibly proud of the milestones we’ve 
achieved. Our business performance 
reached new heights with an EBIDTA 
of $382* million, and a margin of 15%, 
continuing the upward trajectory we’ve 
experienced in recent years. This reflects 
the strength of our operational model 
and the dedication of our hardworking 
teams across the globe.
Strategic expansion has been key 
to our success, resulting in a 41% 
increase in the number of airports 
we serve and a 71% growth in the 
number of countries since 2021. 
We now operate in 300 airports. 
Additionally, we launched Pearl 
Elevated Travel expanding our 
executive aviation services offering. 
Our efforts in driving customer 
renewals and nurturing strong 
relationships has created a solid 
foundation for continued success. 
We’ve concluded substantial 
deals in diverse markets, including 
Portugal, Hong Kong, Serbia, 
Angola, and Malaysia, among 
others. This well-balanced 
regional growth puts us in a 
strong position for the year 
ahead, with opportunities across 
all regions at an all-time high. 
Alongside this growth, we have 
deepened our commitment 
to sustainability in 2024 by 
becoming the first major aviation 
services provider to have our 
Science Based Targets initiative 
(SBTi) targets approved. With our 
sights firmly set on achieving net 
zero by 2045, progressing our All 
In ESG plan is a priority across our 
business. 
In 2024, we completed the 
acquisition of Groundforce, which 
gave us a 65% market share in 
Portugal. We also strengthened 
our presence in Asia by acquiring 
a 50% stake in Jardine Aviation 
Services, leading to the formation 
of Menzies CNAC operating at 
Hong Kong International Airport. 
Our cargo business continues 
to grow, fuelled by investments 
in new operations and cutting-
edge technology. We announced 
our commitment to open a new 
facility in Australia at Western 
Sydney International (Nancy-Bird 
Walton) Airport’s Cargo Precinct 
and unveiled a state-of-the-art 
245,000 sq ft cargo terminal in 
Bengaluru, India, in collaboration 
with BIAL. 
While our achievements have 
been impressive, the year has 
not come without its challenges. 
Across the industry, aviation 
services providers have faced 
the impact of supply chain 
disruptions, infrastructure 
constraints, geopolitical instability 
and the ongoing skills shortage. 
However, our focus on strategic 
planning coupled with creating a 
great place to work and providing 
our people with the tools and 
training they need to succeed and 
be safe have been instrumental in 
overcoming these obstacles. 
I am deeply grateful for the 
resilience and dedication of our 
teams, without whom none of 
these accomplishments would 
have been possible. Our people 
are truly at the heart of our 
success, and their unwavering 
commitment continues to drive 
our business forward. I want to 
express my heartfelt thanks to 
the Menzies team, our airline 
customers, and airport partners 
for their incredible support.
We are poised to build on 
these successes and seize new 
opportunities for growth in 
2025 and beyond. Our goal of 
becoming the undisputed leader 
in our industry remains central to 
everything we do, and we look 
forward to continuing this exciting 
journey together.
Thank you to our employees, 
customers and partners. We 
appreciate your support and 
commitment to our shared 
success. We are confident that 
together, we will achieve even 
greater milestones. 
Thank you.

A new look for our Front of House employees
We were proud to unveil our new collection of uniforms for our passenger-
facing employees, the first update in over a decade. The new Front of 
House collection combines modern design with functionality, reflecting 
our commitment to employee wellbeing, safety, and sustainability. Created 
with input from a diverse group of employees across the globe, the 
collection put their needs at the heart of the design process.
Made from eco-friendly and breathable fabrics, versatile layers and 
professional styles in dark grey and turquoise tones, employees can 
choose from tailored suits, skirts, dresses, shirts and jackets, with 
optional items like a raincoat, belt, and hijab. For the first time, Front 
of House employees are also able to wear trainers with their uniforms, 
supporting comfort and wellbeing.
The new uniforms will roll out across the network in 2025 with the UK, 
Australia, Spain, and Portugal among the first to transition.
Powering ahead with electric first
We’re making significant strides in our journey towards a 
more sustainable future through our ‘electric first’ initiative. 
Our goal is to achieve 25% electric Ground Support 
Equipment (GSE) worldwide by 2025, and we’re on track 
to meet this ambitious target with 22% of our existing fleet 
already making the transition. 
We added over 850 electric GSE assets to our global fleet 
in 2024 and we have over 17 ground handling locations 
that currently have over 50% electric GSE. Our teams also 
perform fully electric aircraft turns at several airports. 
Our transition to electric GSE is made possible thanks to 
the collaboration with our airline customers and airport 
partners. We’re committed to working with them as we 
expand our electric GSE fleet and are confident that we 
will hit our 2025 target, helping reduce the environmental 
impact of our operations, while improving efficiency. 
We have further strengthened our 
global position in ground handling,

Transforming cargo capacity in India 
Our new cutting-edge 245,000 square foot domestic cargo 
terminal opened at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru, 
in collaboration with Bangalore International Airport Ltd. This state-
of-the-art facility is designed to enhance our cargo operations and 
support future growth in India’s rapidly expanding airfreight market.
Located on a seven-acre site, the terminal is capable of handling up 
to 360,000 tonnes of cargo annually at peak capacity. With 80% 
of the facility dedicated to core operational activities, the terminal 
also includes space for up to 42 trucks and eight strategically 
placed floor-level weighted scales for precise cargo weight and 
volume verification.
Built to Indian Green Building Council standards, the new facility 
incorporates energy-efficient technologies and strengthens our 
ability to serve our customers while setting a new standard for 
efficient and sustainable cargo handling. 
First phase of MACH roll-out complete 
Our pioneering Menzies Aviation Cargo Handling (MACH) 
warehouse management system was successfully deployed 
to 24 locations in 2024, with 28 additional stations set to 
implement the system in 2025. 
In partnership with technology services provider, Wipro, this 
innovative end-to-end system was deployed at key airports 
including Auckland, Dallas and Johannesburg. By the end of 
2024, MACH had efficiently managed over 150,000 tonnes of 
cargo. It will be used by more than 3,000 end users, with over 
600 Menzies employees now trained to use the system safely 
and effectively.
MACH, launched in late 2023, marks a significant leap 
in our cargo operations. Its cloud-based architecture 
offers real-time insights and accessibility from any device, 
anywhere, anytime. By consolidating all electronic data into 
one seamless system, MACH enhances data accuracy and 
simplifies processes across the network. This integration is 
crucial in standardising operations, ensuring better visibility, 
and improving supply chain management.
We have continued to solidify our position 
as a global leader in the air cargo services 
sector, focusing on enhancing operational 
efficiency through advanced technology, 
sustainability and investment in new  
state-of-the-art facilities.
Over the past 12 months, we’ve secured IATA’s CEIV Li-batt 
certification in Macau, and its CEIV Pharma accreditation in 
Kenya, our seventh location to be awarded the prestigious 
certification, and first in the MEAA region. We’ve expanded our 
global footprint, securing major contract renewals, including 
long-term agreements in key markets, including a five-year deal 
with United Airlines in Australia, an extension with Cathay Cargo 
in the southwest Pacific, and a renewed agreement with KLM at 
Amsterdam Schiphol.
We’re also investing in new facilities, expanding our capacity 
to handle a variety of cargo types. This includes a new 22,500 
square metre terminal at Western Sydney International set to 
be completed in 2026, a facility in Maputo, Mozambique, and an 
upgrade at Budapest Airport, Hungary. We now have air cargo 
operations in more than 71 locations in over 40 countries.
Sustainability efforts were also a key priority, with the 
installation of solar panels at several facilities, significantly 
reducing our carbon emissions.
With a strong focus on innovation, customer service, and 
sustainability, we are well-positioned to meet the growing  
demands of the air cargo industry in the years ahead.

Expanding operations across key 
European markets
Over the past two decades, we have nurtured a successful 
partnership with Shell Aviation in the UK, and in 2024, this 
expanded into Europe. We launched new operations in the 
Netherlands, delivering into-plane fuelling operations at four 
key airports, including Eindhoven, Rotterdam The Hague, 
Maastricht, and Lelystad.
The European expansion continued when in November, 
we were appointed as the operator for the DRS Joint 
Venture in Copenhagen, supporting DRS’ into-plane 
fuelling operations. This new venture leverages our teams’ 
experience and dedication to delivering high-quality 
service in a growing market.
New partnership boosts fuel operations 
in Houston
Expanding our footprint in the Americas, our fuel teams were 
selected to manage and operate the fuel farm and hydrant 
fuelling system at Houston George Bush Intercontinental 
Airport (IAH). This new, long-term partnership with IAH Fuel 
Company, the airport’s fuel consortium of airline partners, is 
an exciting opportunity for our teams to further solidify our 
leadership in the aviation fuelling industry.
Nearly 40 of our dedicated employees maintain the 
fuelling facility and ensure it operates smoothly. This 
partnership follows a substantial $65 million investment by 
IAH in upgrading its fuelling operations, highlighting the 
airport’s ongoing commitment to maintaining its aviation 
infrastructure.
This is a significant milestone, strengthening our position 
as the largest fuel farm operator in North America. With 64 
facilities under our management across the US and Canada, 
we are proud to serve a diverse range of airline consortiums 
and airports.
Our fuels operations have seen 
significant growth in Europe in 2024, 
building on our global footprint. We 
now provide into-plane fuelling at 
66 airports and fuel farm operations 
to 64 locations across six countries: 
Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, 
New Zealand, the United Kingdom, 
the United States.
We are the world’s largest independent aviation 
fuelling services provider, and this expansion 
underscores our commitment to providing world-
class fuel services. By broadening our presence 
in these key regions, we’re poised to continue 
delivering reliable, high-quality services to meet  
the evolving needs of the global aviation industry.
Our ability to scale and adapt to the growing 
demands of this dynamic market reflects our 
dedication to maintaining the highest safety  
and environmental standards, ensuring that  
our customers receive the best service no matter  
where they operate.

Introduction
We’re All In
Our All In plan for a fair and 
sustainable future focuses on four 
key pillars, each supported by our 
steadfast dedication to community 
support and engagement, 
wellbeing, and robust governance 
practices. This plan embodies 
our goals and initiatives that align 
directly with the 10 UN Global 
Compact Principles and the UN 
Sustainable Development Goals. 
It is designed to build resilience 
within our business, navigate 
uncertainties in an ever-changing 
world, mitigate the impacts 
of climate change, contribute 
positively to society, and support  
a sustainable aviation industry.
Our 2024 report tracks progress 
against the All In plan, outlining  
our priorities, goals, and the 
actions we are taking as a business. 
We made significant strides across 
all areas in 2024, while effectively 
communicating and embedding 
sustainable practices. The All In 
plan is a core component of our 
business strategy and influences 
our decision-making processes. 
This is particularly important as 
we continue to welcome new 
employees and expand our 
business sustainably into new 
airports and countries.
Menzies’ sustainability journey has evolved since we launched 
our original All In sustainability plan in 2021, but our commitment 
to growing sustainably and delivering on our environmental and 
social responsibilities is stronger than ever. 
2024 was a pivotal year for Menzies, with employee numbers exceeding 
50,000 globally, expanding into significant new airports, while becoming 
the first major aviation services provider to have the Science Based 
Targets institute (SBTi) validate our net-zero targets, including our  
long-term target to reach net-zero by 2045. 
We are excited for the challenge ahead and working hard to deliver 
value and positive change for our employees, partners, communities 
and society at large.

OVERVIEW
Double materiality 
We commenced a double materiality assessment in 2024 supported 
by specialist consultants ESG 360 and Nature Positive, in preparation 
for the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting 
Directive (CSRD) disclosure requirements. This has been a valuable 
temperature check of our current priorities and All In sustainability 
plan by determining the ‘financial’ (outside in) and ‘impact’ (inside 
out) topics most material to our business.
Our approach has included: 
• Significant independent expert analysis and research
• Quantitative and qualitative, internal stakeholder consultancy
• Quantitative and qualitative external stakeholder consultancy and 
upstream and downstream value chain analysis
• Climate risk analysis and scenario modelling 
• Mapping and prioritising our most material impacts, risks and 
opportunities over short to long-term time horizons
• Gap analysis of existing data and recommendations on how to fill these 
gaps from the short to long term 
Our final report and outcomes will be complete end Q1 2025. 
following which we will take forward agreed outcomes to 
improve our All In plan and inform our transition plans, as  
well as future stakeholder engagement.

Net-zero by 2045 
 
Menzies Aviation has set ambitious net-zero targets validated by 
the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are the only major 
aviation services provider to achieve this validation, underscoring our 
commitment to strong sustainability leadership and environmental 
stewardship. This approval ensures that our carbon reduction targets for 
scope 1 and 2 align with a 1.5*C trajectory. We are not only reducing our 
own footprint but setting a benchmark for the aviation services industry.
Overall Net-zero target: Menzies Aviation commits to reach net-zero 
greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2045.
Our 2024 emissions
This emissions statement for 
the period 1st January 2024 to 
31st December 2024 serves as 
a comprehensive disclosure of 
our company’s greenhouse gas 
(GHG) emissions and energy 
use, mitigation strategies, and 
commitment to reducing our 
environmental impact in alignment 
with the requirements of the 
Companies Act 2006 2013 and 
the Climate Change Act 2008. 
Aligned with this, our reporting 
reflects the requirements of the 
Streamlined Energy & Carbon 
Reporting framework and ESOS 
Savings Opportunity Scheme.
For 2024, we have measured 
and disclosed global Scope 1 and 
Scope 2 CO2e emissions, along 
with Scope 3 CO2e emissions 
for those categories previously 
identified as material, and since 
validated by the SBTi. 
Our 2023 Scope 1 emissions 
include: 
•	 direct emissions from our 
operations including the 
combustion of fuel in our 
ground support equipment 
and vehicles, as well as gas 
and other fuel consumption for 
operating a facility. 
Our 2023 Scope 2 emissions
include: 
•	 indirect emissions from 
electricity purchased for 
our own use in locations of 
operation and electric vehicles 
and equipment.
We use a system called ESG360° 
to enable more efficient data 
collection and calculation of 
our emissions. For 2024, data 
for scope 1 and scope 2 was 
sourced from our financial 
accounting systems and imported 
into ESG360° for analysis. 
Some manual data was also 
gathered from invoices and/
or meter readings and entered 
into ESG360°. Scope 3 data 
was sourced from a variety of 
operational and financial systems, 
as well as manual data collection, 
including our global employee 
travel survey for employee 
commuting. We continue to  
work on improving the quality  
of data collection.
We continue to engage our 
top suppliers to collect primary 
emissions data directly from 
them via the ESG360° platform. 
This has provided an avenue for 
engagement and accountability 
with our key supplier partners 
towards our net zero journey.
This will help to highlight areas 
of value chain that would benefit 
from reductions in carbon 
emissions and paves the way 
for us to develop a data-driven 
net-zero plan. ESG360° follows 
with the global methodology set 
by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, 
which supplies the world’s most 
widely used GHG accounting 
standards. Using the guidance 
provided by the GHG protocol, 
ESG360° measures scope 1, 2  
and 3 emissions.
In tandem, using the emissions 
factor databases from the 
Department for Environment, 
Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) 
and the International Energy 
Agency (IEA), ESG360° accurately 
and efficiently carries out carbon 
accounting, allowing us to report 
and disclose required information 
more accurately.

Menzies Aviation Annual Review & Sustainability Report 2024
BUSINESS REVIEW
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
External assurance 
statement
Menzies Aviation’s 2024 
greenhouse gas (GHG) 
emissions have been externally 
verified to a limited level of 
assurance by ESG360° with 
verification of data obtained 
from invoices undertaken by 
Hilltop Sustainability (Hilltop). 
Hilltop is a business sustainability 
consultancy specialising in carbon 
auditing, footprint calculations, 
carbon reduction plans and 
strategies with the aim of 
assisting clients on a pathway to 
net zero. 
Hilltop Sustainability was 
engaged to verify and comment 
on the data collection, invoice 
sample and quality of the data 
entry in relation to the invoices 
collected as well as to make 
recommendations based on its 
findings, for scope 1 and scope 2.
Verification has been undertaken 
using standard audit principles. 
The data verified by this exercise 
was provided by Menzies 
employees, contractors and 
service providers. It covers all 
operated activities undertaken 
by Menzies during the reporting 
year as referred to by the Annual 
Review & Sustainability Report 
2024. Hilltop Sustainability has 
not been involved in any data 
collection activities for Menzies, 
their contractors or service 
providers during the reporting 
period. Hilltop Sustainability 
confirms that there is no conflict 
of interest arising and this 
verification statement and the 
assurance process has been 
undertaken independently.
Verification approach
Hilltop has been given access to 
the SUN finance system Carbon 
Reporting extracts spreadsheet 
for H1 and H2 2024 along with 
sample invoices consequent to 
the invoice request tracker which 
we provided with the purpose 
of verifying that invoices have 
been entered correctly into the 
spreadsheet and to identify 
potential anomalies in the data.
Invoices were requested using a 
number of criteria:
• Airports were selected who had 
seemingly had inputting issues the 
previous year to check if they have 
corrected the issue.
• Fuel types were selected where 
there are often areas of confusion, 
such as LPG due to the range of unit 
measurements employed.
• Airports were selected if there were 
obvious-looking anomalies in the 
emissions data sheets so that these 
could be checked.
• New airports not seen previously 
were selected to check that they are 
adopting the right processes.
• Larger airports were selected to try 
and capture the larger emissions 
sources.
In line with last year we (Hilltop) 
once again checked a similar 
number of invoices (over 500), 
which is greater than previous 
years and provides a clearer 
reflection of the situation with 
regards to data entry given the 
larger sample size.
Verification of invoices has been 
undertaken on the following basis:
• Cross check entries in the data 
sheet against sample invoices 
provided to ensure the following:
• Invoices match entries on the 
emissions data sheets.
• Quantitative data has been 
correctly entered.
• Correct units of measurement 
have been used.
• Fuel and energy types have 
been correctly attributed.
• Review the invoice request tracker 
to establish how accurately different 
areas of the client organisation have 
responded.
• Overall review of the carbon 
reporting spreadsheet to identify 
atypical entries and anomalies that 
would warrant further checking by 
the client.
ESG360° completed the 
conversion factor calculations 
on behalf of Menzies within the 
ESG360° system, according to 
the methodology outlined in 
‘Quantification and methodology’ 
section of this report on  
pages 27 and 28 and can attest  
to the accuracy of those 
calculations.
We previously noted that 
matching invoices to the 
emissions data sheets was made 
harder in some instances because 
the invoice numbers used on the 
invoice records did not match 
the transaction references used 
on the emissions sheets. We are 
pleased to note that this year this 
problem was much reduced and 
generally common references 
were used. 
Summary recommendations
• Greater focus on key US locations 
for 2025 for invoice verification.
• Identify US and Canadian regional 
grid that each US airport is located 
in on the emissions extracts.
• Fuller explanations required 
where invoices differ from data on 
emissions extracts. 
• Year of Year checks for same 
locations and accounting periods 
where there has been a marked 
difference or change require more 
detailed explanations. 
• Focus on invoice verification by 
station/airport rather than business 
unit to lessen confusion. 
• Add 100% renewable energy 
indicator to data extracts on a 
location basis.
• Undertake renewed training and 
oversight with finance and third 
party teams on energy and fuel 
consumption data entry.

We report against two intensity measures that are 
common business measures, relevant to our business 
and reflective of the size of operations:
1.	 Gross global scope 1 and 2 emissions in tonnes of CO2e per 
$‘000 revenue.
2.	 Gross global scope 1 and 2 emissions in tonnes of CO2e per 
FTE (as of 31st December of our financial year).
Aligned with excellent business growth our FTE and 
headcount numbers both significantly increased 
in the 12 months to 31st December 2024, with 
headcount increasing by over 15% and FTE numbers 
increasing by approximately 12%. Our growth also 
contributed to increased emissions in new locations, 
e.g. Portugal, which alone added close to 5,000 
tCO2e. As a result, absolute scope 1 emissions 
increased by over 8,600 tCO2e during in 2024 but we 
reduced absolute scope 2 emissions and increased 
our volume of renewable energy. We also improved 
both our intensity ratios for tCO2e/$000 revenue and 
tCO2e/FTE. We are moving in the right direction and 
with significant plans to reduce our fuel consumption 
over the next few years, we are confident that we 
will demonstrate a significant reduction in scope 1 
emissions alongside this and meet our targets. 
As part of our support to delivering finance to low-
carbon sustainable development projects, as outlined 
on pages 44 to 45, we received 5,937 carbon credits 
in 2024. We do not account for these in relation 
to our decarbonisation targets (deleting GHG 
emissions).

Measures taken to improve 
energy efficiency
We added over 850 electric 
GSE assets in 2024, achieving 
22% electric GSE globally, and 
perform fully electric turns at 
several locations. We take an 
‘electric first’ approach to all 
new GSE, wherever possible 
across our global operations. 
This is more easily achieved in 
airport locations that have or are 
planning on implementing suitable 
infrastructure and charging 
points, and especially beneficial 
where those locations provide 
electricity from renewable sources 
e.g. Budapest, Edinburgh and 
Winnipeg. We are on track to 
meet our target of 25% electric 
motorised GSE globally by 2025.
We have increased our use of 
hydrogenated Vegetable Oil 
(HVO) as a replacement for 
diesel, which is used in San 
Diego, Arlanda, Gothenburg, 
Amsterdam, Oslo, Los Angeles, 
San Francisco, Santa Ana and 
LHR 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.
We managed to limit any 
increase of scope 2 emissions 
while significantly growing our 
business volumes, and increased 
the use of renewable electricity 
both through the provision of 
renewable energy by some 
airports, the increased use of 
solar power in our own operations 
in Prague and Bangalore, and 
through the procurement of 
renewable energy. 
In many locations we are 
taking simple energy efficiency 
measures to switch off lights or 
equipment when not in use and 
ensure energy efficient lighting 
is installed. We carried out an 
initial ‘smart buildings’ trial in 
London Heathrow Cargo in 2024, 
analysing opening and closing 
times of cold storage units, and 
monitoring other environmental 
factors such as temperature and 
humidity. We will use insights 
from this and other planned 
trials to further drive energy 
efficiencies. 
Energy Savings Opportunity 
Scheme (ESOS)
During 2024, Menzies successfully 
completed the ESOS Phase 3 
disclosures for the UK, outlining 
our achievements, compliance 
efforts, and the impact of our 
energy-saving measures. We 
engaged JRP Solutions as our 
ESOS Lead Assessor to conduct 
a comprehensive energy 
audit related to buildings, our 
processes, and transport, and to 
identify and quantify proposed 
efficiency improvements across 
our operations forming part of 
our evidence pack. Submission 
was made to the UK Environment 
Agency, including an action plan 
outlining activities we plan to 
take to reduce energy use before 
the next Phase 4 compliance 
date, totalling 983,000 kWh of 
proposed savings. 
BEC Net-zero Carbon Charter
Aligned with our global net-zero 
approved science-based targets, 
our Menzies CNAC Aviation 
Services Ltd business became 
an Action signatory of the BEC 
Net-zero Carbon Charter in 
2024, with a commitment to 
progress to become a Science-
Aligned signatory. This further 
demonstrates our commitment to 
decarbonisation in line with a 1.5C 
target, and that of our local team 
in Hong Kong to play their part in 
achieving this.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
Electric GSE
We are making significant 
progress towards electrifying our 
Ground Support Equipment (GSE) 
to reduce emissions. As most of 
our scope 1 emissions comes from 
our GSE, transitioning to electric 
GSE is a core element of our 
sustainability strategy to reach 
net-zero by 2045, and we always 
take an electric first approach to 
procuring all new GSE.
We have set an ambitious target 
of achieving 25% electrification 
across our entire GSE fleet by 
the end of 2025, and we are 
pleased to share that we are 
on track to achieve this goal. 
In 2024, we exceeded our 21% 
target by reaching 22% electric 
GSE globally, an increase from 
19% in 2023. Europe continues 
to lead the way in both charging 
infrastructure capability at airports 
as well as for Menzies move to 
electric GSE, with over 46% across 
the region and well over 80% in a

number of locations. Other regions 
have been slower to transition due 
to the infrastructure constraints at 
airports. Charging infrastructure, 
provision of renewable energy by 
airports, and other technologies 
(e.g. hydrogen) are critical 
considerations going forward, and 
we will continue to work alongside 
airports to find solutions. 
Our team in OSEA have overcome 
infrastructure limitations with 
a temporary solution in Perth, 
Australia. The team has built 
a mobile charging unit using a 
diesel 110 kva generator with 
charging points for baggage tugs, 
belt loaders, lower deck loader, 
and pushback tractors. This unit 
supports charging for ten electric 
GSE assets while still delivering a 
significant fuel saving compared 
with diesel GSE, equal to a saving 
of up to 27 tCo2e per month. 
We will replicate this solution at 
Darwin, Australia where we are 
also facing charging infrastructure 
constraints. With 27 new electric 
GSE and four hybrid lavatory and 
potable water trucks in Australia 
and New Zealand in 2024, this 
solution is proving valuable. 
In 2024, we expanded the use of 
HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable 
Oil) as an alternative to diesel 
to reduce emissions from our 
motorised fleet while increasing 
the proportion of electric GSE. We 
now use HVO or equivalents at 
LAX, SAN, SFO, SNA, AMS, ARN, 
GOT, OSL, and on a small scale at 
LHR. We expect to increase its use 
in the US and Europe in 2025.
GSE highlights
• 27 new electric GSE, and four hybrid 
toilet and potable water trucks in 
OSEA alone in 2024.
• Eight baggage tractor 
refurbishments to electric were 
completed in 2024 with a further 60 
planned for 2025.
• On track to reach 25% electric GSE 
globally by end 2025.
• Enhanced procedures for safe  
use of electric GSE with updates to 
the GSE manual, GOM, Emergency 
Response Plans, risk assessments 
and training. 
• Introduced safety markings on all 
lithium powered GSE to enable 
quick identification of any lithium 
battery and high voltage GSE.
Technology and innovation
We are leveraging a variety of technologies 
to advance our environmental goals by 
improving data collection and analysis, 
reducing energy consumption, and 
minimising environmental impacts. By 
embracing new and emerging technologies 
and innovations, we aim to drive meaningful 
change now and into the future. 
Some examples of the technologies we use 
and steps we are taking include: 
• Introducing ChromeOS laptops, designed for 
energy efficiency, consuming less energy than 
comparable operating systems.
• Systems and data hosted in Microsoft Azure 
energy efficient data centres for Menzies 
Aviation and AWS for our Air Menzies 
International (AMI) business, are planned to be 
run using 100% renewable energy by end 2025.
• Implementing data archival management 
through cold storage and reducing archived 
data volumes to support energy reduction.
• Trialling 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. 
• Developed emissions reporting capability 
within our AMI eCommerce API product, 
providing our 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. 
• Paper reduction initiatives within our processes 
and systems, and paper tracking and reporting. 
• More frequent data capture and reporting of 
key sustainability metrics for 2025. 
• We use the ESG360° platform to support 
ourESG360 emissions data capture and 
analysis across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. In addition to 
data capture and carbon accounting, we are 
able to review physical climate risk analysis, 
undertake materiality reviews, scenario 
modelling, create decarbonisation pathways, 
and gain regulatory and legislative insights. We 
have also used this software to engage with 
our top suppliers to capture their emissions 
data and support our Scope 3 analysis.
• Participating in hydrogen offtake modelling for 
the hydrogen feasibility study at Glasgow, UK, 
and investigating trials for hydrogen GPUs and 
other GSE at other locations. 
• Engaged airport authorities  
to understand their  
infrastructure plans. 
• Engaged third party expertise 
with AIQ to develop electric GSE 
a replacement plan and charging 
infrastructure model for LHR as well 
as a framework for electrification 
and charging requirements at  
other stations. 
• All Spanish locations operating with 
between 79-91% electric GSE and 
planned to use HVO for all residual 
motorised non-electric GSE in 2025.
• Saving 27tCo2e monthly with a 
temporary mobile charging solution 
implemented in Perth, Australia 
to overcome electric charging 
infrastructure constraints.
• Working towards trial of an 
autonomous baggage tractor,  
while Menzies has existing 
experience of self-driving baggage/
cargo tractors at HKG as part of  
a pooled arrangement. 
• Expanding HVO use in Europe  
and the US.
• Two new hybrid electric de-icing 
rigs in Arlanda, Sweden and 
Budapest, Hungary. All de-icing 
operations use electric only  
travel between the jobs while  
in hybrid mode.

OVERVIEW
Environmental management
IATA IEnvA for Ground Handling 
Service Providers: We have 
partnered with IATA to implement 
their Environmental Assessment 
Programme, released for ground 
handling service providers 
(IATA IEnvA). The standard has 
been verified in alignment with 
ISO14001:2015 and is designed 
to provide a robust set of 
environmental management 
processes and controls with an 
industry specific focus for aviation 
ground services including ramp, 
cargo and de-icing. Following 
preparation for the programme 
and training employees, look 
forward to formally certifying 
our first locations in 2025 before 
continuing to roll this out across 
our global network.
A number of our stations 
are already certified for ISO 
14001:2015, including our 
locations across Spain, and in 
Hong Kong and Macau.
Environmental policy 
We review policies regularly 
and updated our Environmental 
Policy again in 2024, reflecting 
our commitments to net-zero 
emissions and approved science-
based targets. Our policy reflects 
our commitment to sustainable 
procurement, but more details 
approaches are being developed 
in this area for 2025.
 
Environmental learning
In 2024 we developed a new 
Environmental Awareness 
Training module, launched in 
Q1 2025. This will be mandatory 
for all employees, expanding 
on what was previously limited 
to select roles. The content has 
been significantly updated from 
our previous learning to provide 
every employee an understanding 
of our goals, strategies, and the 
role they can play in reducing 
our environmental impact. We 
aim to empower employees to 
make environmentally responsible 
decisions in their daily lives and 
further embed sustainability 
throughout our organisation. 
Many of our employees are also 
undertaking the IATA IEnvA 
Awareness course module, 
and the IATA IEnvA Assessor 
course module, as appropriate 
for their roles. This is helping 
to provide specific knowledge 
of environmental management 
approaches and the IEnvA 
standard to support the roll out of 
the environmental management 
system across our organisation. 
Hydrogen as an energy vector 
has garnered significant attention 
across various sectors for its 
decarbonisation potential and 
hydrogen aircraft and fuels 
could become an integral part 
of the aviation sector’s future, in 
addition to SAF. As part of our 
work to develop knowledge and 
awareness of potential future 
technologies, we engaged 
Ricardo to facilitate hydrogen 
introduction and training sessions 
for our senior leadership and key 
roles in our operational teams. 
This provided an understanding 
of hydrogen technology, safety, 
how hydrogen is being trialled in 
the aviation world now, and what 
the future might hold, with the 
aim of making more informed 
decisions on hydrogen projects 
and trials. 
Employee engagement
Increasing engagement and 
knowledge of climate change 
and environmental management 
across our employee population 
is a key component of our All In 
sustainability plan. 
We engage in a variety of ways 
including employee training, 
through embedding new 
environmental management 
standards, direct communications, 
data gathering, webinars, 
knowledge sharing sessions, our 
global employee travel survey, and 
our We Are Menzies Sustainability 
Award. Sustainability is one of our 
core values. 
We encourage our teams to share 
their own progress through local 
changes, and to participate in 
recognising International Days 
related to the environment. We 
can also drive behavioural change 
by including ESG criteria in our 
investment decision-making, 
learning through volunteering 
opportunities with our partner 
community projects, and by 
setting more specific local targets 
supported with policy guidance.
We are working closely with our 
teams across each of our service 
areas including ground services, 
cargo, fuels, lounges and freight 
forwarding, developing specific 
priorities, deliverables and targets 
in support of, as well as in addition 
to, our existing global initiatives 
and targets.
Global employee travel survey
We ran our annual global 
employee travel survey during 
2024, receiving well over 7,000 
responses from employees in 61 
countries. The responses provide 
valuable insights into how we 
commute and opportunities to 
improve our travel experience, as 
well as enabling us to calculate 
our scope 3 employee commuting 
emissions. This will help us 
shape initiatives to support safe, 
sustainable and efficient travel 
options. We’re already taking 
steps to support more sustainable 
employee travel in 2025. 
Key highlights:
We received responses from 
employees in 61 countries.
22% of respondents travel by 
public transport. 
64% of respondents travel 
by car, either on their own or 
shared. 
The average distance our 
global workforce travel to get 
to work is 28.37km.
The average annual emissions 
per employee is 0.98 tCO2e

Green Airport Partner of the Year -  
Menzies Budapest
Collaboration 
Working with customers, suppliers, airports and 
other partners is vital for us to be able to achieve  
our own targets and support the aviation industry 
with its net-zero ambitions to create a more 
sustainable future.
We have supported our partners with a number of 
initiatives over the last year, including participation 
on materiality assessment, trials of new solutions, 
sustainability forums and technical working groups 
focused on specific sustainability initiatives. We have 
also been honoured to participate in a variety of 
industry panel discussions focused on sustainability 
in the industry, climate change impacts, waste, and 
future technologies, including Airports of Tomorrow 
and Atkins Realis, IATA, ESG360 and more. 
We are encouraged by some airports setting 
minimum electric GSE requirements, as well as 
other ESG-related criteria, which will help drive 
improvement and accelerate decarbonisation, 
alongside quality and other benefits.
We were delighted that our team in Budapest was 
recognised by Budapest Airport with an award for 
Green Airport Partner of the Year earlier in 2024, 
in recognition of the ability for Menzies to perform 
fully electric turns together with Wizz Air. The  
team was also recognised for introducing a new 
de-icing fluid that reduced the emissions and 
environmental impact. 
By offering our suppliers the chance to participate 
in the UN Sustainable Suppliers Training Programme 
in 2025, we hope to drive more progress and 
In 2024 we redesigned and began 
the roll out of our new Front 
of House uniform, combining 
modern functionality with 
sustainable, ethically sourced 
materials, while packaging is 
kept to a minimum to reduce any 
additional waste. By carefully 
selecting manufacturers in 
different locations, we can reduce 
emissions during production. 
In partnership with secure data 
destruction company Avena, 
we have launched a uniform 
recycling initiative in the UK, 
ensuring that all retired uniforms 
are responsibly recycled and 
repurposed rather than being 
sent to landfill. Through this 
collaboration, old uniforms will be 
securely collected and recycled 
by Avena, supporting a circular 
economy while reducing waste. 
We are implementing similar 
schemes in other countries as we 
roll out the new uniform across 
our global operations. The carbon 
savings associated with this 
project will support our overall 
emissions reduction strategy by 
minimising our scope 3 emissions, 
including waste and supply chain 
impacts. In the UK alone, we 
estimate we will save six tonnes 
CO2e compared with sending the 
old uniforms to landfill. 
As part of our efforts to drive 
waste reduction in cargo, we 
have introduced a monthly waste 
reporting framework at our cargo 
locations across the globe. This 
enables us to track and analyse 
materials used, and to measure 
waste generation and recycling 
levels, providing a clearer picture 
of our environmental impact 
and where we can improve. 
Adopting a data-driven approach 
allows us to identify trends, set 
targeted waste reduction goals 
and implement more effective 
recycling initiatives.
collaboration across the supply chain to support the 
sustainability agenda. 
Circularity and reducing waste
Circularity is a key principle in our approach to 
environmental sustainability, ensuring that resources 
are used efficiently, waste is minimised, and materials 
are recycled and repurposed wherever possible. We 
are actively integrating circular economy practices 
into our operations by extending the lifespan of GSE 
through refurbishment programmes, 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. 
We reduced our Scope 3 
Category 5 Waste emissions in 
2024 by increasing recycling 
volumes, reducing waste to 
landfill, and in part due to 
improved data collection. We  
aim to further improve in 2025.
We will collaborate closely with 
airports, airlines and local waste 
management providers to help us 
work to achieve this goal. 
During 2024 we 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 our 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. We also use this product 
in Prague, Czech Republic. In 
2024, our Americas team used 
BioNatur products equivalent 
to over 5.9m 16oz plastic 
bottles that won’t end up 
languishing in landfill.
 
We are excited to be 
investigating more 
innovative circular solutions 
for cargo waste, which we 
hope will help us further 
towards meeting our 
cargo waste targets and 
environmental goals.

Reducing paper
As our business continues to grow, minimising paper 
consumption and waste remains a priority across our 
operations. While we have made significant improvements 
in adopting digital systems and processes and improving the 
quality of our data and reporting, we fell short of our 2024 
targets, albeit we achieved a slight reduction (3%) in pages 
printed per FTE. There are several challenges we continue to 
face in reducing printing and paper use including changing 
employee habits and behaviours where digital solutions exist, 
as well as more work to do with partners to reduce the need to 
share hard-copy printed output. 
We monitor our global printing volumes monthly and work 
collaboratively with our operational and IT teams to make 
technical improvements and work together to drive behavioural 
change and support our goals. 
Some changes we have already made include: 
• Transitioned to electronic payslips in the UK, saving 
approximately 60,000 paper payslips and envelopes annually. 
• Within our AMI business, the new global transport 
management system supports produces eDocs for processing 
and archive purposes, making them viewable to customers 
including transfer between origin and destination, reducing 
the size of documentation pouches that travel with cargo. 
• Paperless/digital archive of cargo documents within KCL for 
Menzies Aviation.
• Sign on glass’ capability for delivery orders instead of paper. 
• Operational improvements for teams via RSMS mobile for 
ramp operations.
Water consumption and de-icing 
While we consume water across 
our global operations in offices, 
facilities at airport locations, and 
within cleaning services, a large 
part of water use comes from 
our de-icing operations. Aircraft 
de-icing and anti-icing is essential 
to help ensure safe aircraft 
operations in icy conditions 
by preventing ice buildup and 
maintaining aircraft performance. 
We perform aircraft de-icing and 
anti-icing activities at several 
locations across Europe and the 
Americas. This activity typically 
uses glycol-based fluids that 
are mixed with water, heated 
and sprayed at high pressure 
to remove ice, snow and frost, 
although other methods can 
be used on some occasions. 
We use systems that help us 
automatically prepare the optimal 
temperature, volume and mix 
of glycol and water based on 
conditions, to reduce any waste. 
Between January to December 
2024 our de-icing activities 
consumed 4,923,832 litres of 
non-potable water across our
We measure this as part of our 
scope 3 category 11 emissions. 
De-icing activities don’t typically 
take place in water-scarce 
regions, however, water scarcity 
and use are topics we have 
considered as part of our double 
materiality project, to determine 
how material this. 
We are working collaboratively 
with airports to minimise the 
environmental impact of de-icing 
activities including reviewing how 
we can improve the logistics of 
operations, collect sprayed fluids 
and recycle and reuse these as far 
as practicable. 
We also introduced two new 
hybrid-electric de-icing rigs in 
Stockholm Arlanda, Sweden 
and Budapest, Hungary in 2024. 
This means most of the de-icing 
operation using those vehicles is 
completed using electric power.
Our Budapest team has also 
introduced a variant to traditional 
de-icing fluid. Mono-propylene 
glycol used in this fluid is 
produced from a mix of plant 
and animal-based components, 
rather than the traditional 
oil-based product, with the 
aim of reducing emissions and 
environmental impacts.
CDP 
As part of our dedication to 
transparency and accountability, 
we completed our Carbon 
Disclosure Project (CDP) 
response for both Climate and 
Water Security themes in 2024, 
showcasing our commitment 
to measuring and managing 
our environmental impact. 
Participating in the CDP provides 
another way for us the share 
progress with our customers on 
emissions reductions, resource 
efficiency, and climate risk 
management, while identifying 
opportunities for further 
improvement. This alignment 
with global best practices in 
sustainability reporting reinforces 
our commitment to reducing our 
carbon footprint. 
We have a new target 
to reduce paper by 10% 
in 2025 based on 2024 
volumes.

OVERVIEW
Wear the future: Our new uniform
In 2024 we launched our new 
Front of House uniform for 
passenger facing colleagues, 
marking the next chapter in our 
sustainable growth journey. The 
new uniform will continue to be 
rolled out throughout 2025. We 
are also working on a new design 
for our back of house uniform. 
The design process was shaped 
by direct feedback from our 
people, with comfort, functionality 
and sustainability at the forefront 
of the new design. Collaborating 
with a diverse cross-section of 
employees was a vital part of the 
design process. Our employees 
represent a diverse range of 
cultures, in more than 65 countries 
on six continents. Selecting a 
cross-section of employees 
globally ensured representation 
for all ethnicities, ages, religious 
beliefs and gender identities. 
Based on this feedback, we 
worked closely with our design 
teams to introduce materials to 
make the uniform lighter, more 
breathable and with greater 
stretch. Uniform options are 
offered for those colleagues 
working in environments that 
experience more extreme 
temperatures. In a first for the 
aviation services industry, we 
introduced a new footwear 
policy, allowing Front of 
House employees to wear 
trainers with their uniforms. 
This significant change reflects 
our commitment to employee 
wellbeing and the importance  
of comfort in delivering a first-
class service.
Sustainable and recycled materials 
have been incorporated into the 
design and distribution process 
reflecting our commitment to 
sustainability, ethical practices 
and social responsibility. We’re 
proud to work with suppliers 
that are dedicated and focused 
on environmental, social, and 
ethical policies, and uphold 
positive working conditions, fair 
labour practices, and ensure the 
protection of workers’ rights 
throughout their operations. We 
encourage local production, and 
in addition to recycled fabrics, 
we removed single-use plastic 
bags from all our packaging. 
We are also partnering with 
specialist organisations to ensure 
old uniforms and repurposed and 
recycled responsibly. In the UK 
alone, CO2e savings for recycling 
uniforms is expected to be 
approx. 6 tonnes compared  
with sending to landfill.
Diversity and inclusion
Our commitment to diversity remains 
as strong as ever and we fully believe in 
fostering a culture of equity, where every 
individual has opportunities for growth, 
advancement and success, regardless of 
their background.
We reviewed our approach to diversity and 
inclusion towards the end of 2024 and have 
been creating new plans for 2025-2026 
focusing on deliverables that support our 
growing and increasingly diverse workforce, 
as well as actions that continue to attract 
new diverse talent. Our core focus areas 
remain: 
•	 Gender
•	 Family friendliness
•	 Disability
•	 Race
•	 Engaging young people
•	 Supporting refugees
Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy was 
updated in 2024 to include references to 
unconscious bias, which also feature in our 
updated Code of Conduct. We aim to raise 
awareness and reduce occurrences of bias 
that may influence workplace behaviours 
and outcomes in ways we may not intend. 
This includes areas such as hiring,  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
performance evaluations, promotions,  
and daily interactions, potentially  
reinforcing inequities. 
Offering a more accessible recruitment 
experience is firmly in line with Menzies’ 
diversity strategy. Visitors to our Global 
Careers Hub can access a wide range of 
tools to customise their digital experience 
using the Recite Me assistive toolbar. This 
includes screen reading functionality, 
multiple reading aids, customisable styling 
options and an on-demand live translation 
feature that boasts over 100 languages, 
including 65 text-to-speech and styling 
options. All the functionality of Recite Me’s 
assistive technology is also available on our 
Menzies Aviation corporate website.
“Every individual has 
opportunities for 
growth, advancement 
and success, regardless 
of their background.”

Harassment in the workplace
Menzies has zero tolerance for 
any violence or harassment of 
any kind in the workplace. We 
all have a right to work free from 
intimidation and harassment and 
in an environment where we feel 
safe and comfortable. We expect 
all employees to treat each 
other with courtesy, dignity and 
respect. In 2024, we introduced 
new Sexual Harassment Policy 
and training for employees, which 
supplements our existing Dignity 
and Respect learning module,  
and aims to educate and reduce 
the risk of any occurrences in  
the workplace. 
Gender equity
We aim to improve the 
representation of females in 
aviation reflected by our targets 
aligned with the IATA 25 by 
25 campaign, to reach 25% 
females in our senior leadership 
population by end 2025. We 
reached 24% in 2024 and are 
delighted to have since achieved 
our 25% target.
As a signatory of the UN 
Women’s Empowerment 
Principles we are committed to 
advancing gender equality and 
fostering business practices that 
empower women. 
We support equal pay for work  
of equal value, and publish 
gender pay gap reports for the 
UK and France. 
We have supported over 125+ 
females through our Women in 
Leadership course so far and 
continue to adapt our people 
policies to support changes that 
benefit women, as well as other 
employees, through improved 
maternity and paternity leave 
policies and more flexible shift 
patterns. Our 2024 figures 
show that 44% of part-time 
employees are female, indicating 
that our flexible working and 
improved shift patterns may be 
encouraging more females into 
those roles. 
We were proud to support

Working conditions & 
protecting human rights
At Menzies we take a zero-
tolerance approach to all forms 
of modern slavery including child 
labour and forced labour and 
are committed to protecting and 
supporting human rights. We 
respect the right to freedom of 
association and fair work and 
wages for our employees.
As a signatory of the United 
Nations Global Compact and 
member of the UK Global 
Compact Network since April 
2021, we fully support the United 
Nations Guiding Principles on 
Business and Human Rights 
and the International Labour 
Organisation Declaration on 
Fundamental Principles and 
Rights at Work.
Menzies strives to compensate 
employees fairly, relative to 
the industry and local labour 
market. We are committed to 
complying with minimum or living 
wage requirements, work hours, 
overtime and benefits set forth 
under applicable local laws. 
Well over 60% of our workforce 
are covered by collective 
bargaining agreements and we 
engage with Workers Counsels. 
Our Code of Conduct, Human 
Rights & Fair Labour Policy, and 
Third Party Code of Conduct 
specifically are clear on the 
expectation of zero tolerance to 
child labour in our own operation 
our supply chains. We adhere 
to local labour legislation in the 
areas where we operate and 
we never employee people 
younger than 16 anywhere in our 
operations and those between 16-
18 are restricted in the activities 
they perform, including night-
time working and working in 
hazardous conditions. 
Risks of modern slavery practices 
occurring within our business, 
supply chains and operations may 
evolve as we enter new countries 
of operation, as employee 
practices change, or as we take 
on new suppliers and partners. 
There is also an increased risk 
due to more displaced peoples 
through conflict. We remain 
alert to potential new risks 
and external social factors 
and continue to monitor our 
operations and our supply 
chain where such risks are 
most likely to occur. We 
regularly review risks as part 
of our overall enterprise risk 
framework. Further details 
on our supply chain can be 
found in the Governance 
section of this report as well 
as our annual Anti-Slavery 
Statement published on  
our website.
Employee accommodation
Menzies Aviation provides 
employee accommodation 
facilities in Mexico (Cancun, 
San José del Cabo and Puerto 
Vallarta) and Kuwait. We currently 
house around 1,168 individuals 
(14% female/86% male) across 
9 facilities, with capacity for 
1,479 habitants. Our Employee 
Accommodation Policy sets the 
minimum standards, controls 
and facilities that are expected 
to be in place for all employee 
accommodations to ensure 
health, safety, security, hygiene, 
protection of human rights, 
wellbeing and a comfortable 
space and environment for 
residents, and environmental 
sustainability. This is further 
supported by our Human Rights 
& Fair Labour Policy and Speak 
Up Policy & Guidance. We 
completed physical internal audits 
of accommodations in 2024 
identifying areas of improvement, 
and commit to repeating our 
audits at least annually, with spot 
checks and visits in between.
Putting modern slavery training 
into practice
All Menzies employees are 
required to participate in regular 
training sessions regarding 
human rights, fair labour and 
modern slavery, appropriate 
to their role. The purpose is to 
explain what constitutes human 
rights, fair labour and modern 
slavery, identify indications of 
possible risks or non-compliance 
and provide guidance as to what 
to do in such circumstances.
Our Station Manager’s Pledge is a global 
commitment from our station leadership community 
to improve working conditions for our colleagues, 
including break and restroom facilities, and greater 
visibility of their rosters.
My promise and commitment to my team:
1
You will receive the correct uniform on day one and it will 
always be renewed on time
I will hold a monthly townhall and Q&A
You will always receive your roster at least one month in

Station Managers Pledge
An amazing example of putting training into practice during 2024 
was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where a member of our passenger 
services team identified and prevented a human trafficking 
incident, not once, but on two separate occasions. Thanks to 
their diligence and ability to identify the risks and potential signs 
of trafficking, they were able to safely raise the alarm during the 
check-in process allowing authorities to intervene and prevent 
both cases of human trafficking from taking place. This further led 
to local authorities identifying and breaking up a wider network 
of human trafficking. We are honoured to have such an amazing 
person in our Menzies team. 
During 2024, one other instance of human trafficking was 
detected and prevented in South Africa. No further instances of 
modern slavery were identified in our operations or supply chain.

GSE safety excellence
We were delighted that seven 
of our stations - Gothenburg 
Landvetter, Manchester, Chicago 
Rockford International, OR Tambo 
International (Johannesburg), 
Cape Town International, King 
Shaka International (Durban), 
Bloemfontein — were awarded 
the IATA GSE Excellence 
Certificate through IATA’s 
Enhanced GSE Recognition 
Program. The certificate is 
awarded to stations where 
the ratio of ground support 
equipment fitted with damage 
avoidance systems such as anti-
collision technology, results in 
meeting preset ground damage 
risk reduction thresholds. Three 
equipment types are currently 
in scope for assessment — 
belt loaders, ULD loaders and 
passenger steps — and risk 
ratings are based on the IATA 
Ground Damage Report. This 
certificate is recognition of the 
steps we are taking to build safer 
ground operations. 
Safety culture 
Our M.O.R.S.E. (Menzies 
Operating Responsibly, Safely 
and Effectively) Code and 
Charter, along with our Golden 
Rules, encapsulates our safety 
culture and how we embed it 
in everything we do, which sets 
us apart from competitors. The 
M.O.R.S.E. code sets the way 
we work every day, ensuring 
our airline customers and the 
travelling public can trust every 
journey they take. It is embedded 
throughout our business, from 
our induction programmes, initial 
and refresher training, safety, 
security and environmental 
promotions, incorporated onto 
uniforms, and features regularly in 
our internal communications. 
Our senior management hold 
quarterly M.O.R.S.E. forums to 
track progress at a global level 
and hold regional risk review 
boards each month attended 
by our group risk team. This 
process provides a forum to 
review incidents and learnings, 
highlight key operational risks 
and emerging trends, and identify 
improvement opportunities to 
reduce accidents and incidents. 
Our popular M.O.R.S.E. events, 
held twice a year across our 
global operations, generate a lot 
of engagement and demonstrate 
the commitment to safety and 
security that our teams embody 
every day. In 2024 our M.O.R.S.E. 
week topics were ‘See something, 
say something’ and ‘Emergency 
Response’. 
In 2024 we partnered with a 
third party to build a proof of 
concept for virtual reality training, 
ready for trial in early 2025. 
We look forward to evaluating 
the results from the stations 
involved. Virtual reality training 
allows us to practice and test 
learner’s reactions to non-
normal situations that can occur 
in the operation, in a safe and 
repeatable environment. 
In 2024 we saw a continued 
focus on proactively identifying 
hazards across the globe. We 
identified 37,573, a 49% increase 
in reporting over 2023. This was 
greatly assisted by frictionless 
reporting in our M.O.R.S.E. 
system, using QR codes to make 
it easier for all colleagues to 
participate. Our stations also 
personalised our golden rules 
cards our people carry adding 
their local QR Code to further 
promote reporting. Our data 
shows that through simplified 
processes and promotion we 
increased hazard reporting, 
directly resulting in reducing the 
number of near misses.

Our safety standards
We aim to have the best safety 
culture in the industry by 
delivering the highest health, 
safety and security risk standards 
everywhere we operate. We want 
our people to feel safe in their 
working environment by providing 
the training and tools required to 
do their job safely and securely. 
We want our customers to trust 
Menzies to deliver the safest 
and most reliable services and 
to know that we are committed 
to continually evolving and 
embedding our safety and 
security practices. 
Our Safety Management Systems 
include our policies, procedures, 
training and manuals, designed 
to the highest industry best 
practices and standards for 
safety management, occupational 
health, security, training and 
quality assurance. 
We already hold certifications 
in some operational locations 
for ISO 14001 (Environmental 
Management Systems) and 
ISO 45001 (Occupational 
Health & Safety), and recently 
received certification of ISO 
9001:2015 (Quality Management),

We have fully adopted the 
IATA IGOM and ICHM as the 
basis for our procedures. We 
actively contribute in IATA to the 
development and promotion of 
these standards. We maintain 
our IATA Safety Audit for Ground 
Operations (ISAGO) registration; 
this requires an audit of all central 
policies, procedures, training and 
quality management every two 
years. Our most recent ISAGO HQ 
audit was successfully completed 
in Q1 2023 with zero findings. We 
participated in the trial for the 
revised ISAGO audit in 2024 and 
actively contributed to the IATA 
Training Passport project. The 
Training Passport project aims to 
recognise prior industry learning, 
aiding in the mobility of workers. 
We also achieved IATA CBTA 
(Competency Based Training 
Assessment) Accreditation for 
Dangerous Goods. 
We maintained our IATA Ground 
Handling Partner (GHP) and 
IATA Strategic Partnerships 
membership that provides a 
platform to contribute to the 
development of solutions that 
impact safety and damage 
reduction, while promoting 
efficiency improvements 
initiatives as well as strengthen 
relationships with key industry 
stakeholders. 
We continued to promote and 
enrich our Risk Library, which 
allows our operational teams to 
quickly build risk assessments 
on the same taxonomy as our 
safety management system and 
uses data from our own events 
to help stations understand the 
potential outcome and likelihood. 
We measure quality assurance and safety success 
through KPIs and internal audits. 
	
• Menzies’ 8 Pillar programme prescribes the minimum 
standards that are expected throughout our operations, 
against which we measure each station location. 
• Our 5 Star Programme allows us to audit what matters 
most and drives improved compliance behaviour. 
Both programmes provide the necessary oversight 
and assurance that operational risks are adequately 
managed, and continuous improvement is achieved. 
In 2024, our operations were also subject to 937+ 
external audits globally.
Quality and assurance
Our 3 x D strategy drives continual improvement: 
• Diagnose areas that can be improved; 
• Design to simplify, motivate and give people  
the ability to succeed; and 
• Deliver in collaboration with stakeholders. 
Our strategy has contributed to the implementation 
of innovative tools such as: 
1.	 The SMART app, an award-winning technology, enables 
quick inspection of tasks tailored to aircraft type and 
customer requirements, and allows us to recognise  
when people go above and beyond. 
2.	 The SmartDrive program, which includes AI cameras  
and encourages responsible driving. 
3.	 Frictionless reporting allows anyone to report a hazard 
swiftly on any mobile device and feedback is provided  
on their report. 
4.	 We implemented our Tow Team Warning System  
with a connected wing walker to pushback driver  
alert systems to improve towing safety. 
Our safety assurance strategy 
This approach also allows us to 
share knowledge and station risk 
assessments within our Menzies 
network, so our stations can 
collaborate on ideas on potential 
risk mitigations. 
“We aim to have the best safety culture in  
the industry by delivering the highest health, 
safety and security risk standards everywhere 
we operate.”

Communities
Engaging with communities
	
	
We understand the power of collaboration in driving meaningful 
societal change on a larger scale, as well as at a local level. We 
take action in a number of ways including:
•	 Developing valued corporate partnerships with NGO’s, 
local organisations and non-profits, resulting in greater 
opportunities to better address social and environmental 
challenges, and promote economic development. 
•	 Driving change in our own operations and our supply chain 
through our policies and business practices that are designed 
to protect and promote the rights of individuals, and respect 
the rights of indigenous communities.
•	 Creating opportunities for teams to engage in their own local 
communities. 
In 2024, Menzies funded over USD 388k towards sustainable 
development partnerships, community projects, charities and 
supporting local fundraising by our teams. This consisted of 
over USD 113k in donations and contributions and a further USD 
275k delivering finance to low-carbon sustainable development 
projects, a small part of which includes the purchase of high-
quality carbon credits. It’s important to find the right partners 
and projects to support. We research and select high-quality 
partners and projects that deliver positive impact for the 
climate, biodiversity, people and communities.

OVERVIEW
Allies In Aviation event at our London HQ
Allies in Aviation
The number of forcibly displaced 
people and refugees has scaled 
significantly in recent years, with 
1 in 67 individuals worldwide 
remaining forcibly displaced 
and many communities 
feeling the impact. As a global 
employer, we can provide 
humanitarian support, offer 
employment opportunities and 
assist refugees and displaced 
people to integrate into their 
host communities, support 
local economies and social 
engagement. In recognition of 
this, Menzies set a goal in 2023 
to recruit refugees equivalent to 
1% of our employee population 
by the end of 2026. 
We became a member of The 
Tent Partnership for Refugees 
(Tent) in December 2022 and 
have expanded our support of 
Tent in the UK, Europe, US and 
most recently as a founding 
member of Tent Mexico. Tent 
connects businesses with 
government agencies and 
organisations who work with 
people that have refugee status. 
During 2024 we held our 
inaugural Allies in Aviation 
employability training session 
at our London HQ. Held in 
collaboration with Tent UK, the 
event was designed to help 
individuals from displaced 
communities find meaningful 
employment in the aviation sector. 
We shared insights on preparing 
an effective CV, advice and 
support in applying for roles and 
a chance to practice interview 
techniques. By focusing on 
practical advice and real-world 
examples, the event focused 
on empowering individuals to 
confidently pursue and secure 
employment in the aviation 
sector.
During World Refugee Week 
our HR team attended the Tent 
Partnership for Refugees Job 
Fair at London Metropolitan 
University. The event offered 
an exciting opportunity for 
refugees with the right to live 
and work in the UK to meet 
potential employers. Our team 
spoke to more than 50 people 
about a range of operational and 
non-operational roles available 
at locations across the UK — 
especially in London.
At Menzies, we recognise the 
strength and resilience of the 
people who have been forced to 
flee their homes due to conflict 
and persecution, as well as their 
strong commitment to rebuild 
their lives within the communities 
that host them.
In 2024, building on our existing 
commitment, we engaged with 
the UNHCR, the UN Refugee 
Agency, to explore ways in which 
Menzies can enhance refugee 
outreach, facilitate workforce 
integration, and improve labour 
mobility. Through these efforts, 
alongside trusted allies such 
as the UNHCR and Tent, we 
remain dedicated to identifying 
opportunities for the economic 
inclusion of refugees, thus aiming 
to contribute meaningfully to 
a brighter future for forcibly 
displaced communities.
“We were excited to hold the first Allies in Aviation by Menzies 
Aviation event in London, helping individuals from displaced 
communities gain the skills and insights needed to pursue 
meaningful employment and supporting their integration 
into society in their host country. It forms part of our wider 
commitment to support the underrepresented, foster diversity 
and inclusion in the workplace and play an active role in 
addressing the refugee crisis. We hope that this event will be 
the first of many, with plans to roll this initiative out to new 
locations within our global operations.” 
Juliet Thomson
Chief People Officer, Menzies Aviation
“Businesses play a critical role in helping refugees 
access jobs and overcome the many barriers to 
employment they face, such as language skills, a lack 
of professional networks, and transport. The Allies 
in Aviation event is just one example of how Menzies 
Aviation is showing leadership and delivering on its 
commitment to connect refugees to jobs, both within 
its own workforce and across the sector.”

Director, Tent UK

Action now for affected  
communities and nature 
At Menzies, we recognise the importance 
of actively engaging with and supporting 
the communities in which we operate. We 
believe we have a responsibility as a good 
corporate citizen to take action now, beyond 
our own All In targets, direct operations and 
supply chain. By supporting and engaging 
with affected communities through 
sustainable development projects beyond

partners through multi-year support, 
our partners have greater certainty 
of support enabling them to commit 
to projects that deliver increased 
value and positive impacts.
During 2024, we have 
implemented several exciting 
new partnerships aligned with 
our regions, as well as continuing 
our support through existing 
partnerships. 
Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge
Locations: Fort Worth, Texas, USA
We’re thrilled to announce an exciting 
new partnership with the Fort Worth 
Nature Center & Refuge in Texas, USA. 
Spanning 3,650 acres of forests, prairies, 
and wetlands, this remarkable site features 
over 21 miles of hiking trails, making it 
one of the largest urban wilderness areas 
in the United States. Recognised as a 
National Natural Landmark by the U.S. 
Department of the Interior, the Center is 
dedicated to education, land stewardship,

The Honeybee Man 
Locations: Weston, UK
We have partnered with The Honeybee 
Man in the UK, sponsoring two honeybee 
colonies within their apiary located at 
Fairclough Hall Farm, helping to rebuild 
honeybee populations. Bees are vital to 
both pollinate the food we need to survive 
as well as many of the trees and flowers 
that provide essential habitats for wildlife. 
We’re also making sure to include bee-
friendly plants at our London HQ along 
with bee hotels. 
Trees for Life
Locations:  
Scottish Highlands,  
Scotland, UK
We are proud to have been a 
corporate supporter of Trees for Life

in Scotland. Focused on restoring the 
once-extensive Caledonian forest, 
the charity’s vision includes the 
rejuvenation of entire ecosystems and 
providing a solution to the climate and 
biodiversity crises, creating a living, 
thriving landscape where wildlife 
and people can flourish together. We 
contribute funding towards habitat 
protection and rewilding, the ‘Rewild 
and Recover’ programme, and 
through volunteering.
ChildFund Rugby: 
Locations: Kenya
We are excited to announce our new partnership 
with ChildFund Rugby to support the delivery of 
the Pass It Back rugby and life skills curriculum 
in collaboration with Kenya Rugby Union. Pass 
It Back is a globally recognised curriculum that 
harnesses the power of youth leadership to 
provide life-changing learning opportunities

coaches (aged 16–25) and young players (aged 
11–16), Pass It Back builds community teams that 
promote both sport and social development. 
Pass It Back learning focuses on building and 
practicing skills such as managing emotions, 
building positive relationships, and challenging

the Med, having committed our support 
until at least the end of 2026. Save the 
Med’s mission centres on regenerating the 
Mediterranean basin through a holistic, 
integrative approach that empowers local 
communities to become informed and active

Accelerating Blue Carbon: 
Menzies is funding the planting of 70,000 mangroves during  
2023 — 2026, as part of the Accelerating Blue Carbon 
project. The Kilifi County Mangrove Restoration Project, 
Kenya, is situated on the beautiful Mtwapa Creek, and is 
working to restore vital mangrove habitats that support 
biodiversity and help sequester carbon
Patsari Improved Cookstoves, Mexico: 
In Mexico, about a quarter of the population relies on 
firewood for cooking and it serves as the primary energy 
source for roughly 80% of rural households. Following 
educational workshops and meetings with communities, 
local construction teams use locally sourced materials to 
build more efficient cookstoves in interested households. 
Providing cleaner cooking solutions reduces emissions and 
improves health for communities.
Mississippi Valley Reforestation Project, USA: 
The project aims to reforest one million acres of the Lower 
Mississippi Alluvial Valley helping to protect against 
hurricane and flood damage, controlling soil and nutrient 
run-off. The forestland is also a vital habitat for numerous 
plant and animal species. Landowners who voluntarily enrol 
in the project commit to planting and protecting trees, 
reducing nearly 100 tonnes CO2 equivalent per hectare.
Renewable Energy Clean Power Portfolio: 
This project supports the development of global 
renewable projects in countries such as India, directly 
increasing the global share of renewables in the energy 
mix while reducing emissions by displacing fossil fuels. 
Katingan REDD, Indonesia: 
Located in Indonesian Borneo, known as Kalimantan, this 
project protects nearly 150,000 hectares of peatland 
ecosystems. It is surrounded by villages for which it 
supports traditional livelihoods including farming, fishing, 
and non-timber forest products harvesting. The area 
stores vast amounts of carbon and plays a vital role in 
stabilising water flows, preventing devastating peat fires, 
enriching soil nutrients and providing clean water. It is rich 
in biodiversity, being home to large populations of many 
high conservation value species, including some of the 
world’s most endangered; such as the Bornean Orangutan 
and Proboscis Monkey. 
 
Orb Rooftop Solar Project, India: 
This project has brought over 160,000 solar power 
and solar water heating systems in India, providing a 
consistent supply of renewable energy to communities 
and in turn, reducing emissions, indoor air pollution from 
kerosene, and improving social opportunities. 
Climate Impact Partners: 
Through our partnership with Climate Impact Partners we provided finance 
towards low carbon sustainable development projects that deliver on beyond 
value chain mitigation (BVCM) goals, enabling us to reduce and remove emissions 
that are outside of our value chain emissions, catalysing the funding of new climate 
solutions and supporting global net zero goals. 
In 2024, we delivered over USD 275k  
of finance to low-carbon sustainable 
development projects, a small part of  
which is delivered through the purchase  
of high-quality carbon credits, equal to  
5,937 emission reductions (tCo2e).

Our teams in the community 
Our teams love getting involved in giving back to local communities, 
raising awareness of local charities and community groups, and 
showing that small acts of kindness can have a big impact on the 
communities where we operate.
Our Menzies-RAS team in Pakistan had the 
honour of visiting the Deaf Reach Foundation’s 
head office in Karachi. The team were moved 
and inspired by the experience, and the amazing 
talent and passion of the students who showed 
that communication goes beyond words. The 
visit reminded was a reminder of the power 
of inclusion and supporting a future where 
everyone’s voice is heard in their own way.
Seven of our employees based at airports in 
Romania raised over 2,000 Euros by swimming 
over 3,000 metres between them, equivalent 
to the length of 41 Airbus A380’s, in aid of 
One Village, One Child. The programme offers 
educational support to gifted children from 
disadvantaged backgrounds. 
Putting the fun in fundraising
Through our John Maxwell Menzies (JMM) Community Fund, we’re proud to 
support a range of charitable, voluntary and community related activities across 
the world, including many nominations from our colleagues that are close to their 
hearts. Many of our teams organise their own charity fundraising too. There were 
too many highlights from 2024 to share them all but here are small selection.
Our Menzies Orlando, US team 
participated in United Airlines' Rise 
Against Hunger project. Alongside 
colleagues from Alaska Airlines, 
their mission to pack 15,000 meals 
to support the global fight against 
hunger was quickly surpassed reaching 
a staggering 30,000 meals. The meals 
were distributed by Rise Against 
Hunger to locations around the world, 
including Haiti, the Philippines and 
South Africa.
Our teams in our Edinburgh and 
London offices, UK, volunteered  
their time to support Social Bite,  
one of our long-time charity partners. 
The charity is dedicated to ending 
homelessness and provides homes, 
jobs, food and support to empower 
people to transform their own lives. 
Our Menzies’ teams helped collect 
donated gifts at the Trees of Kindness 
on in Edinburgh and London as part  
of Social Bite’s Festival of Kindness. 
Our colleagues at Philadelphia International 
Airport, US, recently participated in the PHL 5k run/
walk, racing their way around one of Philadelphia’s 
five runways. The team, who support our 24/7 fuel 
farm operations, joined hundreds of other airport 
employees to help raise US$37,000 for local 
charities. One of the charities who received valuable 
funding was March of Dimes, an organisation 
dedicated to lifesaving research, programmes and 
education to create a world where every family, 
mother and baby are healthy and strong, regardless 
of their wealth, race, gender or geography.
The QEII Foundation offers mental health support 
to cancer patients and survivors in Nova Scotia, 
Canada. Sharon Needham, our Regional Manager 
for Fuel Operations, based in YHZ Halifax, 
Canada, recently hosted the second ‘Hockey for 
Hope’ ice hockey tournament, where she helped 
to raise an astonishing $39,000. We were proud 
to support Sharon — a cancer survivor herself —  
for the second year, sponsoring the ice for  
the tournament. 
Global HR leaders from across 
our business had the privilege of 
volunteering with Just a Change 
and CERCITOP,CRL in Lisbon, 
where they rolled up their sleeves 
to help renovate a residential 
facility for young people with 
disabilities, transforming it into  
a welcoming and vibrant space 
 for its residents.

BUSINESS REVIEW
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
At Menzies, we recognise that ethical 
conduct is fundamental the safe running 
of our operations, to building trusted 
relationships with our business partners, and 
to supporting our All In commitments for a 
sustainable and resilient future. Upholding 
the highest standards of integrity is not 
only a moral imperative but also essential 
for building trust with our stakeholders and 
ensuring the long-term success of our global 
business.
By conducting ourselves and our business 
activities ethically at all times, we keep 
our business safe, our people safe and 
play our part in supporting a fair and just 
society and creating an ethical culture. 
We adhere to all applicable legal and 
regulatory requirements, as well as our 
robust internal policies and procedures, to 
ensure compliance with ethical standards 
and promote good governance practices. 
We lead by example, setting the tone from 
top of our organisation, modelling the values 
and behaviours expected of all employees, 
including acting with integrity, honesty, 
and respect. We communicate our values, 
ethical standards, and expectations through 
our policies, learning, guidance and regular 
updates for every area of our ethics wheel, as 
well as our wider All In plan.
Operating 
ethically
Code of Conduct
Menzies Code of Conduct forms 
the cornerstone of our compliance 
programme and sets the 
expectations and behaviours for a 
full suite of ethics and compliance 
related policies. It covers 
awareness of topics including 
but not limited to: labour, human 
rights, discrimination, harassment, 
modern slavery, anti-bribery/
corruption, conflicts of interest, 
cyber security, data protection 
and privacy, sustainability, 
safety, wellbeing, environment, 
financial integrity e.g. AML, 
protecting assets, social media, 
ethical conduct and Speak 
Up. Our Code of Conduct was 
significantly updated and shared 
to all employees in 2024, and 
is available in 16 languages. 
Employees will commence 
refreshed Code of Conduct 
training based on this new version 
early in 2025. 
Zero tolerance for bribery  
or corruption
We have zero tolerance for 
any form of bribery or corrupt 
business practices anywhere 
in or organisation. In 2024, 
Menzies was not subject to any 
investigations or convictions 
related to bribery and corruption. 
Within our own organisation, we 
received four localised reports 
of bribery/corruption incidents 
via our SpeakUp platform, all 
of which were investigated and 
confirmed as unsubstantiated. 
We have been a partner of 
TRACE for many years and utilise 
their best practice methods, 
training programs, and risk 
assessment data, to continuously 
develop and bolster our 
internal protocols. This includes 
conducting specialised and 
targeted virtual and in-person 
training sessions for our employee 
cohorts at heightened risk, as 
well as senior management and 
business partners (new and old), 
covering topics such as bribery, 
corruption, gifts and hospitality 
and conflicts of interest.
Anti-competitive practices
During 2024 we introduced 
a comprehensive global 
competition law policy to 
reenforce our stance on 
promoting fair business practices, 
compliance with anti-competitive 
regulations and increase our 
understanding of the essential 
principles in this area across 
our management cohort. In 
conjunction with the introduction 
of this policy, a number of 
virtual training sessions were 
delivered across the Group’s 
senior leadership functions, led 
by our specialist legal advisors, 
providing practical legal guidance 
on key regulatory issues and 
commercial conduct advice 
to ensure our management 
functions understand their 
responsibilities in this area. During 
2025, we aim to further extend 
implementation of this policy 
by introducing an obligatory 
anticompetitive practices online 
training session, which will sit 
within our existing compliance 
programme, applicable to all 
graded managers.
Cyber security and data privacy
As part of a critical supply chain, 
depended upon by our customers 
and the wider public, we take our 
commitments to data privacy and 
information security seriously, 
ensuring we have appropriate 
controls in place. We take a risk-
based approach to data privacy 
controls and cyber security, 
continuously monitoring and 
evolving threats, as well as the 
development of new threat areas 
resulting from AI technologies. 
During 2024, we undertook a 
deep-dive risk assessment on 
cyber security and continue to 
assess the vulnerabilities and 
continued to invest in our cyber 
security programme with the key 
aims of keeping the information 
we are trusted with secure 
and our business processes 
robust. We also achieved ISO 
27001 accreditation further 
demonstrating our commitment 
to strengthening our standards 
and information security 
protocols. 
We continue to educate and test 
our employees’ cyber awareness, 
addressing the risk of human 
error through training, phishing 
simulations and improved 
reporting systems.
We experienced 20 reports/
incidents of data privacy 
breaches in 2024, one of which 
was cyber-related, and five 
reports later confirmed as 
non-breach events. Only one 
event was reported to a local 
regulator, and none were deemed 
significant.

OVERVIEW
Training, awareness and controls
We provide continuous learning, 
and regularly review and improve 
our policies, practices, and 
training programmes to address 
emerging risks and challenges, as 
well as changing legislation and 
best practice guidance. We aim to 
make them understandable and 
accessible at all levels, translating 
them into multiple languages 
aligned to the geographies we 
operate in. Code of Conduct 
training and many of our other 
ethical and compliance courses 
are taken by every employee, and 
other more specific training is 
role-based.
Training is completed on a 
cycle of every 1, 2, or 3 years, 
dependent on the topic. To 
further support embedding 
ethical understanding and 
behaviours, we provide 
guidance and prompts via other 
communications on all ethics and 
compliance topics.
Whistleblowing system and 
reporting
We encourage all our employees 
or third parties we work with to 
report any concerns including 
breaches of our Code of Conduct 
or Third Party Code of Conduct 
(Codes). Our confidential and 
independent SpeakUp hotline 
enables employees and third 
parties to report any instances 
of unethical conduct via phone 
or online, in their local language, 
safely and without fear of reprisal. 
Reports are treated seriously, 
confidentially and investigated 
appropriately in line with 
published procedures and service 
levels. We can communicate 
confidentially with reporters via 
the SpeakUp platform without 
compromising anonymity where 
this should be preserved. All 
reporters receive a recorded 
outcome and resolution for  
their case.
In 2024, we transitioned to a 
new version of the SpeakUp 
platform. This upgrade allowed 
us to update our SpeakUp Policy 
and Guidance and reintroduce 
SpeakUp details to our global 
employee population. Over the 
year, we received 941 cases 
through the platform. We 
categorise reports and monitor 
their statuses and outcomes, 
ensuring robust investigations 
and appropriate actions are 
carried out.
The SpeakUp hotline has become 
an essential tool in upholding our 
ethical standards and fostering a 
culture of accountability across 
the organisation. By encouraging 
open communication, we 
empower individuals to help us 
address misconduct, mitigate 
risks, and identify actions, 
improvements, or training 
opportunities. This enables us to 
continually enhance our practices 
and drive positive change 
throughout Menzies.
Tax strategy
As a good corporate citizen, 
Menzies is committed to being a 
responsible and transparent tax 
payer, paying the right amount of 
tax in accordance with the laws 
and regulations of the countries 
in which we operate. Our Group 
Tax Policy is available on our 
company website.
Business Partner engagement
In 2024, we updated our Third 
Party Code of Conduct to better 
reflect the evolving expectations 
we have for our partners, 
aligning it with our internal Code 
of Conduct. This document is 
translated into multiple languages 
and available on our website. We 
require all suppliers to confirm 
their acceptance of the Third 
Party Code of Conduct, either 
as a standalone document or 
embedded within contractual 
agreements. The Code sets 
safeguards addressing critical 
areas such as human rights 
(including modern slavery and fair 
labour practices), anti-bribery and 
anti-corruption, environmental 
commitments, and more.
We continue to execute a 
comprehensive business 
partner due diligence process 
in collaboration with a leading 
consultancy firm when entering 
acquisition, divestment, or 
joint venture discussions. 
When needed, we also engage 
external experts across various 
specialisms to conduct due 
diligence on our behalf.
Our Third Party Risk 
Management (TPRM) system 
and procedures enhance our 
engagement with our global 
supplier network, which includes 
approximately 14,000 suppliers. 
This system enables us to perform 
auditable risk assessments 
and due diligence across ESG 
criteria, supporting our All In 
goals and sustainable growth 
agenda. In 2024, we conducted 
a supplier risk assessment across 
our global supplier population 
and continued to refine our 
due diligence and onboarding 
procedures.
Looking ahead, in 2025, we will 
further support these efforts with 
new sustainable procurement 
policies and onboarding criteria. 
Additionally, we are delivering 
supplier training and driving 
sustainability improvements 
across our supply chain by 
inviting suppliers to participate 
in the UN Sustainable Suppliers 
Training Programme.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
Risk Framework and Governance structure
Our risk framework
The Menzies Enterprise Risk 
Management (ERM) framework 
takes a proactive approach to 
risk, driving value and sustainable 
growth through accountability, 
governance, oversight, and 
strategic integration. Our ERM 
system enables the active 
identification, tracking, and 
management of risks, providing a 
dynamic, real-time view of risks, 
impacts, and actions across our 
global business, maintained by 
designated risk owners.
Risks are identified and raised 
throughout the organisation, and 
we conduct horizon-scanning to 
detect emerging risks that could 
significantly impact our business. 
This allows us to address 
potential threats as they develop, 
considering external factors 
brought about by technological 
and societal evolution.
We continuously monitor and 
review our risk exposure. Senior 
regional leadership and central 
teams assess risks within their 
respective business areas, while 
the Risk Committee regularly 
evaluates top-down, emerging, 
and principal risks. This includes 
assessing aggregated impacts, 
root causes, risk appetite, and 
mitigation actions to ensure 
validity and alignment with our 
objectives.
Risk identification, assessment, 
and management are also integral 
to new business opportunities, 
strategic decisions, investment 
considerations, and business 
changes. By consistently 
testing and improving our 
risk framework—including 
management, controls, and 
oversight—we ensure resilience, 
responsible growth, and the 
ongoing protection of our 
business and stakeholders.
Risk Committee
Our Risk Committee provides 
enterprise-wide governance 
and skilled business assessment, 
focusing on top-down, emerging, 
and principal risks. These risks 
include strategic, change, 
financial, regulatory, climate, 
political, IT, legal, reputational, 
and others. The Committee 
performs deep-dive analyses on 
emerging risk topics.
Chaired by the Chief Governance 
& Sustainability Officer, the 
Committee includes the following 
role-holders, along with specialist 
roles as required:
•	 Head of Sustainability  
& Corporate Responsibility
•	 Chief People Officer
•	 Head of Financial Planning  
& Analysis
•	 SVP Operational Risk
•	 Chief Information Officer 
The Committee meets regularly 
to review risks related to new 
business opportunities, alongside 
the executive management 
board. It is responsible for 
instilling enhanced awareness 
and corporate risk governance in 
a meaningful way, informing our 
strategy and action planning.
During 2024, the Committee 
completed two deep-dive 
risk workshops on AI and on 
business integrations. Both 
pertinent topics as we continue 
to grow our business and as we 
consider the risks associated with 
sophisticated AI technology and 
its role in increased privacy and 
cyber threats. 
 
The Committee most recently 
undertook a thorough assessment 
of all top-down and emerging 
risks, finalised in early 2025. This 
includes finalising principal risks 
were for presentation to the Audit 
& Risk Committee to be ratified 
by them. 
Climate risk is integrated into our 
ERM procedures. This includes 
the identification, assessment 
and mitigation of risks from 
climate change on our business, 
as well as the impacts of our own 
business and supply chains on 
climate change, whether they be 
physical, transitional or liability 
related. By making this part of our 
ERM procedures we can continue 
to engage and bring to life 
climate-related risks for our senior 
teams and how these are directly 
related to our strategy, decision-
making and procurement. Most 
recently, we have undertaken a 
refresh review of climate scenario 
modelling and climate risk with 
support from external ESG and 
climate experts ESG360°, with 
participation from our EMB and 
regional EVPs.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
Taskforce for 
Climate-Related 
Financial 
Disclosures 
(TCFD)
We are pleased to share our fourth report under the 
Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures 
(TCFD) framework. We have made disclosures 
consistent with each of the recommendations 
consistent with ‘comply and explain’ requirements. 
Climate risk and opportunity management is 
part of our overall risk management framework 
and controls. We have conducted a detailed risk 
assessment and scenario analysis and further details 
of each disclosure are outlined in the information and 
table that follows.
ESG and climate specialists, ESG360° Risk 
Management Limited (ESG360°) helped us lay 
strong foundations for developing and maturing 
our original approach in our 2021 reporting cycle 
and have continued that support us including this 
latest report. We utilise their expertise in a number 
of areas including with scope 3 calculations, scenario 
modelling and our double materiality assessment. 
In 2024 our near-term and long-
term targets, including reaching 
net-zero by 2045, were approved 
by the SBTi (Science Based 
Targets Initiative). The progress 
we have made this year through 
progressing key initiatives further 
demonstrates our commitment to 
sustainability, ensuring resilience 
and growing responsibly by 
placing a climate lens over our 
business operations, strategy 
and approach to governance 
including risk and decision-
making. We continue to work with 
our suppliers, and in 2024 we 
signed-up to the UN’s Sustainable 
Suppliers Training Programme, 
which gives our own suppliers 
the opportunity to complete 
certified training free of charge, 
and support them in building their 
own sustainability programmes. 
The programme commences 
March 2025. 
We commenced a double 
materiality assessment in 
2024 supported by specialist 
consultants ESG360° and Nature 
Positive, in preparation for the 
European Union’s Corporate 
Sustainability Reporting Directive 
(CSRD) disclosure requirements. 
This has been a valuable 
temperature check of our current 
priorities and All In sustainability 
plan by determining the ‘financial’ 
(outside in) and ‘impact’ (inside 
out) topics most material to our 
business. Our final report and 
outcomes will be complete end 
Q1 2025 following which we will 
take forward agreed outcomes 
to improve our All In plan and 
inform our transition plans, 
as well as future stakeholder 
engagement. As part of this work, 
we will also undertake a detailed 
review of climate scenarios and 
reassessment. 
We have a number of targets and 
metrics set across our operations 
relating to areas including paper 
reduction, increasing our electric 
ground support equipment (GSE) 
fleet, and waste reduction. We 
have expanded our engagement 
and collaboration with some of 
our customers and at the airports 
we operate, identifying how we 
can work together on shared 
initiatives to deliver our targets 
and goals to mitigate the impacts 
of climate change and make 
aviation sustainable and resilient 
for the future.
Going forward, we will be 
assessing how we can transition to 
reporting and disclosing against 
the International Sustainability 
Standards Board (ISSB) standards 
created by the IFRS Foundation, 
incorporating the requirements of 
the TCFD. The ISSB has developed 
a comprehensive global baseline 
for sustainability and climate 
disclosures, focusing on the needs 
of investors and financial markets. 
By adopting these standards, 
we aim to provide high-quality, 
globally comparable information 
on sustainability-related risks 
and opportunities, enhancing 
transparency and trust in our 
disclosures.
Scenarios, climate risks  
and opportunities
Scenarios
We previously identified two key 
scenarios as part of our TCFD 
analysis, outlined below. We are 
in the midst of a reassessment 
with support from ESG360° 
to determine their continued 
validity, and the potential of any 
new scenarios for our business. 
This includes assessing various 
assumptions and indicators 
relating to these existing 
scenarios e.g. quantifying the 
impact of carbon pricing on 
each plausibility to ensure we 
can include this analysis in our 
forward planning. This exercise 
is expected to be finalised and 
discussed with our Executive 
Management Board end Q1 2025. 
Based on those outcomes, the 
scenarios below will be revised 
and enable us to update our 
response to the strategic and 
financial implications of climate 
change on our business.
Our two current transition 
scenarios in respect of climate 
change are described below:
1)	 Where governments and 
regulators lead the energy 
transition aligned with the Paris 
agreement and impose various 
policy measures consistently 
over this decade. 

56
Menzies Aviation Annual Review & Sustainability Report 2024
BUSINESS REVIEW
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
OVERVIEW
	
This scenario envisages rapid 
action in respect of net-zero 
targets and implementation of 
mechanisms such as carbon 
pricing and financial incentives 
for decarbonisation especially 
for the aviation sector.
2)	Where there is a social tipping 
point that impacts on the 
aviation sector beginning with 
developed economies. This 
scenario envisages a drop in 
passenger numbers and drastic 
measures by governments 
towards end of this decade and 
a low carbon price until middle 
of this decade with growing 
investor and wider stakeholder 
focus on the aviation sector.
Climate risks and opportunities
Our TCFD framework 
implementation process has 
resulted in the Executive 
Management Board and the 
Board of Directors understanding 
the qualitative impacts of climate 
change on Menzies in the short, 
medium, and long-term time 
horizons using scenario planning 
as a strategic tool. We continue 
to use the insight gained from 
this analysis to quantify the 
impacts and set our strategic 
direction to mitigate climate risks 
and maximise the opportunities 
available. External support 
from our consulting partners, 
in addition to our strategic 
reviews, have ensured that we 
have identified the high-level 
key climate related risks and 
opportunities to our business. 
Climate risks and scenarios are 
captured and managed in our 
enterprise risk management 
system and form part of our risk 
management framework. With 
the support of ESG360° we 
continue to gain granular data 
on our supply chain and scope 3 
emissions and to gather data on 
our physical and transition risks. 
These risks and opportunities are 
shown on the following page.
Physical risks
We previously carried out a 
comprehensive physical risk 
assessment of our top 30 
airport locations based on the 
latest climate science from the 
Intergovernmental Panel on 
Climate Change (IPCC). This 
study highlighted five locations 
prone to physical risks namely 
coastal flooding, sea level rise, 
heat stress and drought in certain 
regions and locations on periods 
up to 2050, although no locations 
were at risk in the short term. 
We are refreshing this exercise 
in 2025 to include new airport 
locations. On an ongoing basis, 
we will risk assess new airport 
locations we enter into, to ensure 
any potential risks are identified 
and considered within the 
business case. 
Risks
ESG360° are currently supporting us with a 
refreshed scenario modelling exercise which will be 
finalised March 2025. This may update or amend the 
key risks and opportunities we previously identified 
that are outlined below:
•	 Implementation of a carbon price and other taxes 
may have a direct financial impact should Menzies 
be unable to reduce its carbon emissions, as well 
as our competitors (medium/long-term).
•	 Fast changing consumer attitudes especially 
in developed European markets, may impact 
flight volumes and result in cost pressures from 
our customers where there are already tight 
contractual margins (medium-term).
•	 Uncertainties around decarbonisation 
technologies for the aviation sector and 
supporting infrastructure in some locations 
may inhibit our ability to meet our own carbon 
reduction targets and the required pace of 
change, as well as government targets (short/
medium/long-term).
Opportunities
•	 Energy efficiency and decarbonisation actions 
in operations faster than our competitors, and 
enabling our customers to achieve their targets 
faster.
•	 Leading the market with a robust sustainability 
strategy and collaborating with our aviation 
partners to take action, implement change and 
increase our resilience.
•	 Accessing grants and subsidies for 
decarbonisation technologies to offset the level of 
investment required in new training, technologies 
and equipment to support delivery of our carbon 
reduction goals as well as support the goals of the 
aviation sector more widely.
•	 Building a climate resilient strategy to attract 
relevant capital.

the Company’s Board oversight was achieved via the Chief 
Governance & Sustainability Officer, as well as through our 
risk management processes, captured and discussed with 
our senior management Risk Committee and the board-

Committee. That said, ESG-related opportunities, risks, 
and liaison and collaboration with external stakeholders in 
relation to the implementation of sustainability initiatives 
are all key priorities and areas of focus for our teams. The 
Risk Committee ensures that all climate-related risks are 
captured in our enterprise risk management approach.
The Chief Governance & Sustainability Officer and 
Head of Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility 
regularly report progress and discuss strategy with 
the Executive Management Board and the Board of 
Directors. This ensures Board oversight at the highest 
level. Progress updates are also made monthly to the 
Executive Management Board through monthly business

previously noted, to better consider any adjustments we 
need to make. We will review our strategy against the 
refreshed scenarios identified against short, medium and 
long-term timeframes to understand the resilience of our 
strategy. We will continue to do so on at least an annual 
basis, including any new material scenarios as they arise. 
We do not currently believe there are any major risks to 
our strategy in the short to medium-term. 
We believe our focus on reducing our carbon emissions 
and collaborating with our industry partners on 
implementing change, new infrastructure and supporting 
each other to achieve our goals, coupled with continuing 
to develop our mix of aviation services and varied 
geographies we operate in will ensure our continued 
resilience in the short to medium-term. This approach 
aligns with the fact that an ecosystem approach is needed 
in the aviation sector to reduce risks and to achieve 
sustainable outcomes.

OUR OVERALL  
RISK MANAGEMENT.
We identify and assess climate related risks within our 
existing risk management processes and details of climate 
related principal risks are managed and reported in line 
with the risk governance structure summarised on page 54 
of this Sustainability Report.
We are in progress with a refresh of our Scenario Modelling 
exercise, which may alter the previously identified climate 
risks and opportunities outlined earlier in this report. 
We have a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management 
(ERM) system, Corestream. All climate risks and 
opportunities including those uncovered from our TCFD 
implementation process, are managed and fully integrated 
within our updated ERM processes and are a core part of 
our risk assessment processes.
Further details of our risk governance structure, risk 
management framework including details of our approach 
to identifying, assessing, and managing risk, including 
integrating climate related risks, can be found on page 54 
of this Annual Review & Sustainability Report.

CLIMATE-RELATED 
RISKS AND 
OPPORTUNITIES 
IN LINE WITH 
STRATEGY AND 
RISK MANAGEMENT 
PROCESSES.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions are disclosed on pages 27 
to 28 of this Sustainability Report alongside our baseline 
emission figures based on a baseline year of 2022. We 
await approval of our SBTi targets including Scope 
3 analysis and targets via the Science Based Targets 
initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard. Following approval, 
further metrics and targets will be devised. We have 
included other metrics throughout our report appropriate 
to our business and net-zero targets. Following completion 
of our double materiality assessment in Q1 2025, we will 
further review our material issues, risks, opportunities and 
set new metrics, or revise old metrics accordingly. 
In support of our Scope 3 analysis, in 2023 we engaged 
with our top 50 suppliers to understand their GHG 
emissions, climate risks and potential impacts on our own 
operations. This exercise continues and we will increase 
engagement in future years. 
We have amended our capital investment governance 
process to embed improved risk assessment procedures 
and climate-related impacts and opportunities analysis.

RELATED RISKS.
GHG emissions for scopes 1, 2 and 3 are disclosed in the 
Environmental section of this Sustainability Report on 
pages 27 to 28. Our baseline year of 2022 is reported 
along with 2024 figures. 
Our scope 3 accounting exercise was completed and 
submitted to the SBTi in 2023, and our net-zero targets 
were validated and approved in 2024. 
We have improved our data gathering and calculations 
and will continue to refine these in future years, enabling 
us to provide increasingly accurate emissions data, and to 
better assess the risks of meeting our targets and to help 
us measure progress.

MANAGE OUR 
CLIMATE-RELATED 
RISKS AND 
OPPORTUNITIES 
AND PERFORMANCE 
AGAINST THESE 
TARGETS.
We are deploying technology to measure and track our 
Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions against our targets, 
including our SBTi approved net zero target for 2045. GHG 
emissions data and KPIs can be found on pages 23 and 27 
to 28 of this Sustainability Report.
As further metrics and targets are developed based 
on our refreshed materiality assessment outcomes 
and disclosure recommendations, we will continue to 
develop performance metrics as both KRAs as well as 
renewed targets and metrics for our senior and executive 
management teams.
