Cathay Pacific's Sustainable Development Report 2010
2nd DRAFT TEXT 10 DEC 2010
Our Shared Journey
Sustainable Development Report 2010
About this Report
Welcome to our second Sustainable Development Report, which covers our sustainability performance – both achievements and challenges in 2010. Our reporting has evolved since 1996, which was the first year we launched our Environmental Report, but our commitment to transparency and accountability remains unchanged. In this Report, we highlight a list of key stakeholder issues in each section, as well as providing a detailed response on the Report website. The Progress Against Actions and Agenda boxes that were previously at the end of each section are now integrated into one table on the Report website. In order to ensure that we report accurately, we have engaged independent accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers to provide an assurance report on selected data in this Report.
Report Scope
We report annually to our stakeholders on the key sustainability issues of the Cathay Pacific Group. This Report covers the 2010 calendar year. In addition to Cathay Pacific Airways and our five 100% owned subsidiaries, this year we have started reporting on one of our associate companies, Air Hong Kong, with a view to increasing disclosure in future reports. New data covered in this Report includes energy consumption and GHG data from four outports (Auckland, Taipei, Manila and San Francisco) and non-GHG data from five outports (Frankfurt, Paris, Karachi, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney).
Measuring our Performance
On measuring our performance, we include commitments across most areas of this Report in a table on our Report website. It is essential for us to monitor our performance so that we can enhance initiatives throughout our operations to better manage our key sustainability impacts.
