LFV shall also weigh in the social and economic impact with regard to the environment in order to make optimal use of the airports capacity.

On behalf of the Government, LFV shall contribute towards the achievement of the aviation policy’s initial targets which relate to a good environment and the national environmental quality goals.

As a part of this a strategy has been developed to increase the percentage of those travelling to and from the airport on public transport.

The LFV Group is a climate neutral organisation
The LFV Group is the first major Swedish business to choose to become Climate Neutral. This means that  LFV is now able to offer goods and services that are produced without negative impact on the climate.

A Climate Neutral Enterprise calculates and reduces its carbon dioxide emissions via an effective action programme. An audit is carried out annually and those emissions that the enterprise could not eliminate can be compensated for by the purchase of emission reduction units or certificates that show emission reduction measures have occurred elsewhere. In this way, the businesses activities can be conducted without a negative climate impact.

Pricing emissions
By purchasing emission reduction units or certificates a price is set on a company’s greenhouse gas emissions. Actions taken to reduce emissions of such gases will lead to reduced costs as fewer certificates will have to be purchased. Greater emphasis is placed on, for example, energy-saving actions, as these will be more profitable than previously.

The LFV Group generated 11,700 tonnes carbon dioxide in 2006
An important part of LFV’s work within the BLICC cooperation is to assess the company’s emissions of greenhouse gases and implement actions intended to reduce these levels. A number of tangible actions have already been introduced
