Safety, security and environmental standards are central to the framework and support London Gatwick鈥檚 sustainability program, Decade of Change. The framework will support the airport's goal for a minimum of 10% of London Gatwick鈥檚 total spend to be with local suppliers and a minimum of 25% total spend with regional suppliers. Suppliers are also required to demonstrate their commitment to the airport鈥檚 sustainability goals, by driving lower carbon design solutions across the pipeline of projects, supported by quarterly sustainability forums to foster collaboration and continuous improvement.
With 43 million annual passengers, London Gatwick is the U.K.鈥檚 second largest and one of Europe鈥檚 top ten airports. It is a vital piece of national infrastructure that drives both the national and regional economies by generating 拢5.5 billion ($7BN) Gross Value Added and supporting more than 76,000 jobs (2023). Almost 60 airlines fly from the airport to more than 150 short-haul and 50+ long-haul destinations. With a declared capacity of 55 movements an hour, London Gatwick is the most efficient single runway airport in the world.
A six-year, 拢2 billion ($2.5BN) sustainable growth program includes an ambitious plan to be a net zero airport by 2030 and to increase capacity by bringing the airport鈥檚 existing Northern Runway into routine use, alongside its Main Runway.
