Sixth-annual Sustainability Report spotlights achievements in 2022, including 18 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions

TORONTO, April 12, 2023 /CNW/ – Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (Billy Bishop Airport) is proud to present its 2022 Sustainability Report, which offers a comprehensive accounting of Billy Bishop Airport’s environmental performance, tracking key indicators such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic impact, and measuring the airport’s progress within global corporate reporting best practices.

The sixth-annual report is presented in a new, interactive format with graphic and video components that help illustrate Billy Bishop Airport’s achievements and ongoing efforts to implement sustainable practices, support its community and the wellbeing of its employees, and invest in programs and infrastructure that protect the environment and grow Toronto’s economy.

In 2022, Billy Bishop Airport made significant strides in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, reporting an 18 per cent decrease in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions. This was achieved in part through the airport’s continued use of 100 per cent renewable energy via Bullfrog Power – which has allowed the airport to displace more than 19,000 tonnes of CO2 since 2010 – and its investment in cleaner technology such as the Marilyn Bell electric ferry. The Marilyn Bell e-ferry is powered by green electricity and its zero-emission operation will reduce the airport’s diesel consumption by 196,000 litres.

“As an organization, Billy Bishop Airport drives tourism and trade, provides access to critical emergency medevac care and supports thousands of jobs in the Greater Toronto Area, contributing to the economic stability of our region,” said RJ Steenstra, President and Chief Executive Officer of PortsToronto, owner and operator of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

“While economic recovery is imperative for a sustainable future, Billy Bishop Airport has demonstrated time and again that our commitment to the environment and to our community is of equal importance. In practice, this means choosing to power all of our operations with renewable energy, investing strategically in climate resilient infrastructure, and continuing to work with our neighbours to identify ways we can further contribute to the sustainability of our community and shared Toronto waterfront.”
