Assurance Comment on: Climate Change
We consider AIA’s recent Airport Carbon Accreditation upgrade to Level 3 (Optimisation) as
evidence of how the airport company continues to place great emphasis on addressing the
challenge of Climate Change. Through our corporate interviews and document reviews, we
have gathered evidence of AIA’s initiatives (workshops, training sessions etc.) to engage airport
community third parties, as well as have performed focused interviews and evidence requests on
AIA’s 2013 Climate Change Corporate Action Plan. Finally, we have reviewed AIA’s 2013 Carbon
Footprint and Air Quality data, and while we found no errors in the calculations, we have suggested
that AIA enhances the presentation of data to better align with the relevant GRI G4 Airport
Operators Sector Disclosure requirements. These disclosures cover key aspects of sustainability
performance that are meaningful and relevant to the Airport Operators sector.
