Cork Airport lands energy award

CORK AIRPORT has been ranked as the best-performing commercial State body in Ireland for energy savings for the second year running.

The findings were outlined by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) in its annual report 2022 on public-sector energy-efficiency performance.

Cork Airport managing director Niall MacCarthy said: 

“We have set ourselves demanding key performance indicators in energy- and carbon-reduction and this confirmation by SEAI that we are the top Irish commercial semi-State body is a strong testament to our team here and their commitment to sustainability.”

Over the past number of years, Cork Airport has reduced its energy consumption through a number of sustainable energy initiatives.

SEAI Ireland director of corporate services Marion O’Brien congratulated Cork Airport on its achievement.

“It is great to see this demonstration of decarbonisation in action and that sustainability is at the centre of the business model at Cork Airport,” she said.
