Gatwick makes corporate responsibility progress

Gatwick makes corporate responsibility progress: "Gatwick Airport has released its corporate responsibility report for 2006, which indicates that improvements have been made in many areas.
The report, which is available online at the BAA Gatwick website, reviews progress made in areas such as security, health and safety and surface transport.
The latter was highlighted as being a particular area of success for the airport, with the number of passengers using public transport increasing to 32 per cent. Gatwick puts this progress down to 'safe, reliable and affordable travel options for passengers'.
The airport wants to increase the proportion of passengers using public transport to 40 per cent by 2012 and is campaigning to keep the Gatwick Express as a non-stop link to the centre of London to help meet this target.
And Gatwick has made strides to become greener in other ways too. The airport has improved in terms of energy efficiency and recycling by introducing energy metering and a sustainable waste strategy.
Gatwick's managing director, Paul Griffiths, commented: 'I believe that we have developed a robust approach to achieving good corporate citizenship and our challenge for the future is to make further step changes in managing the impacts of that growth.'"
