📋 Tender Overview
RIX Riga Airport took important steps in 2024 to become an even more environmentally friendly, more energy efficient and more sustainable traffic center in the Baltics. Thanks to the introduced sustainability solutions, the airport continues to move towards climate neutrality, creating an environment that is more friendly to both humans and nature. Sustainability is no longer an option - it is an integral part of our daily work and a clear direction for the future. We deliberately invest resources to reduce our environmental impact, to create sustainable infrastructure and to provide passengers with travel experiences that are both comfortable and environmentally friendly. Chairman Laila Odina. One of the major achievements of the implementation of the Sustainability Strategy of Riga Airport is the level 3 of the global airport carbon accreditation program (ACA). This demonstrates both a significant reduction in direct CO2 emissions and the involvement of stakeholders in reducing climate change. The use of renewable energy plays an important role in the sustainability way - new solar panel parks were built on airport buildings in 2024, as well as designing a new solar power plant in the airfield. The airport has also significantly improved the transport infrastructure by moving to a wider use of electricity in everyday work. Nine new electric cars and electric ambulifts have replaced old diesel vehicles, providing a quieter and cleaner movement for passengers, including people with limited mobility. At the same time, appropriate electric car charging infrastructure has been built for both airport equipment and public needs. In order to make more efficient use of resources, the reconstruction of the airport power supply system was also completed in 2024, significantly improving energy efficiency and security. In the context of sustainable development, the airport has also renewed the noise reduction of an action plan in cooperation with municipalities and citizens to reduce the impact of aviation noise on populated areas in the Riga region. A major turning point in the airports sustainability strategy is the restored Net Zero road map. RIX is committed to the climate neutrality by 2035, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in environmentally friendly technology. This commitment significantly shortens the predetermined term and strengthens the role of the airport as one of the leading sustainability promoters not only in Latvia but throughout the region. Riga Airport, with these steps, not only reduces its environmental impact, but also creates a safe, affordable and modern travel environment for every passenger. The targeted direction towards a greener future is part of the RIX long -term strategy. The airport aims to become the center of Northern Europe with the highest sustainability standards.
