Our parent company, Queensland Airports Limited (QAL) has a holistic approach to environmental sustainability. We want to ensure our business efficiency meets our visitor and community expectations and where practical, our environmental management practices go beyond legislative compliance. QAL has embarked on a program addressing the twin challenges of sustainability (responding to global challenges such as climate change) and business efficiency (in light of rising costs and stakeholder expectations) across the QAL Group.
