Innovative Narita 2018
In 2016, we marked 38 years since Narita International Airport opened. Thanks to the understanding and cooperation of many people including local residents, Narita Airport has played signi�cant roles in Japan’s economic development and international exchanges as an international hub airport that places the highest priority on safety while responding to international aviation demand in the Tokyo Metropolitan Region.
Vigorous global aviation demand is expected to continue growing, with growth in Asia projected to be particularly notable and drive growth in the global aviation market in the future. Major airports in Asia are carrying out large-scale capacity expansion projects, and competition among them is becoming increasingly �erce.
In light of these circumstances, in March, the NAA Group adopted a new mid-term management plan and entitled "Innovative Narita 2018: Aiming to be the Airport with the World’s Highest Standards." One of the strategic policies in that plan is "improving airport functionalities and partnership with the local community." While improving airport functionalities, we will deepen our partnership with the local communities for coexistence, mutual prosperity and stronger environmental measures. In accordance with the Eco-Airport Master Plan, we will pursue the reduction of our environmental impact and develop such partnerships with local communities.
Narita Airport has worked in close collaboration with airport-related business entities to promote the eco-airport concept under the Eco-Airport Vision 2020, adopted in 2011 as a statement of our vision for the next 10 years, and the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015), which was established to realize the Eco-Airport Vision. The results of our e�orts undertaken through �scal 2015 are reported in the special features, but overall, steady progress has been achieved. Looking towards international initiatives for the environment, greenhouse gas countermeasures have entered a new stage. In December 2015, the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) was held in Paris, France. At the Conference, a new international framework "the Paris Agreement" which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions after 2020 was o�cially adopted. In consideration of global trends and changes in Narita Airport’s environment, we adopted the Eco-Airport Vision 2030 in April of this year as a statement of the direction that we will pursue through �scal 2030. We also adopted the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020) as a new action plan to accomplish the Eco-Airport Vision. We will seek to create an environment-friendly, recycling oriented Eco-Airport through a series of environmental initiatives undertaken from a global perspective so that Narita Airport can continue developing into the future. The Master Plan also expresses our commitment to building relationships of trust with local communities as a member
of those communities and working to further reduce its environmental impact so it can contribute to the attainment of an a�uent 21st century society.
We are currently working to improve airport functionalities at Narita Airport, such as by constructing an additional runway, in order to increase the international competitiveness of airports in the Tokyo Metropolitan Region. To this end, we are examining these improvements with local residents and other stakeholders, as well as conducting various necessary research
and investigations. In June of this year, we began procedures for an environmental assessment pursuant to the Environmental Impact Assessment Act of Japan as a part of those measures. We will properly perform those procedures in the future to ensure that functionality improvements are even better in terms of environment conservation. We will work with all stakeholders to reduce the environmental impact of airport operations on local communities, address global-scale environmental issues, and pursue sustainable development by local communities and the airport up to 2020, when the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held, and later through 2030 as discussed in the Eco-Airport Vision.

Domestic Routes(17 airports)
In �scal 2015, Narita International Airport handled approximately 235,000 �ights, 37,941,000 passengers and 1,981,000 tons of air cargo. Compared to �gures when the airport �rst opened, the airport handled 4.5 times more �ights, 5.4 times more passengers and 6.0 times more air cargo. As a result of new and additional �ights since the summer 2015 schedule was put in place, the number of aircraft movements increased for the fourth consecutive year and reached a record high. The number of foreign passengers, particularly passengers from Asia, increased for the second consecutive year and reached a record high thanks to the elimination of visa requirements in a number of Southeast Asian countries and the continued low value of the yen. The number of passengers on domestic �ights also
increased from the previous year due to the launch of new and additional �ights by Japanese LCCs. The volume of cargo was down from the previous year because of e�ects from the slowdown of the Chinese economy and other factors.

In 2011, we established the Eco-Airport Vision 2020 as a statement of our vision for Narita Airport in the following 10 years based on preventing global warming, contributing to a recycling-oriented society, and achieving symbiosis with the natural environment. We worked to create an eco-airport based on the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015), which was intended to carry out that vision. The CO2 reduction target set in the earlier vision was nearly achieved in �scal 2015. Also, various changes have occurred in the airport’s environment including the selection of Tokyo to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and adoption of the Paris Agreement by COP21. Consequently, we adopted the Eco-Airport Vision 2030 as a statement of the direction that Narita Airport should pursue to achieve its targets for �scal 2030 based on a determination that an even longer-term vision including the need for further reinforcement of airport functions is necessary. To achieve this vision, we will address local and global-scale environmental issues in collaboration with stakeholders*.
The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020) sets concrete action targets for achieving the optimal airport status described in the new vision, and we will take measures to attain these targets. We set numerical targets where possible. One such target is reducing airport CO2 emissions per �ight by 7% compared to �scal 2015 by 2020. We will carry out measures to achieve the speci�c targets we have set.
Together with Stakeholders
To create an environment-friendly, recycling-oriented eco-airport, the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council, which is made up of airport-related business entities including airlines and air freight forwarders, plays a central role in analyzing environmental measures and undertaking environmental initiatives from a variety of perspectives. We will engage in ongoing dialogue with stakeholders including passengers, local residents, and airport sta� to implement a variety of programs with the aim of reducing environmental impact from Narita Airport throughout society as a whole.

Airport-relatedbusiness entitiesUnder the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015), which started in 2011, concrete targets
were set for a variety of programs, and the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council played a central role in the e�orts by airport-related business entities to reduce environmental impact. During the period until �scal 2015, the �nal year of the plan, the Narita Airport environment and social conditions underwent a number of major changes including e�ects from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima Daiichi (“Number One”) Nuclear Power Plant accident, the application of Open Skies, the rapid growth of LCCs, and the opening of Passenger Terminal 3. Some programs were unable to achieve their targets, but in general, targets under the plan as a whole were achieved. I think this was the result of development of higher awareness by us and everyone associated with Narita Airport. We have steadily implemented individual initiatives such as those addressing the global environment, community environment, resource conservation, and biodiversity. Moreover, environmental management has been reinforced. Under the new master plan that started from �scal 2016, we will continue addressingglobal-scale environmental issues from a global perspective. We will endeavor to reduce the environmental impact of airport buildings and operations on surrounding areas, and reinforce our initiatives as an Eco-Airport in collaboration with stakeholders.

Water Conservation & Recycling 3Rs of Waste
We have been promoting initaitives in consideration of resource recycling such as implementing the 3Rs with regard to waste and utilizing grey water.The grey water usage rate has steadily improved and the target was achieved.The reduction in potable water use greatly exceeded the target as a result of water conservation measures and improvement in the grey water use rate.
Resource Conservation Initiatives
29.6%
6.2% reduction
3.1 pointimprovement
We have concerved the natural environment that supports biodiversity with the aim of restoring natural areas that were lost due to airport construction and maintaining a healthy environment into the future.We also perform voluntary environmental assessments at the time of airport expansion and carry out environmental conservation measures necessary to minimize the impact on the natural environment in the areas around the airport such as transplanting plants and monitoring.
Biodiversity Initiatives
Environment Management
We have conducted environmental conservation through the activities of the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council in order to reduce environmental impact throughout the airport as a whole. E�orts have been made to enhance communications through measures such as using websites, conducting Eco-Kids Club activities, and presenting at environmental exhibitions. We also participate in international conferences and personnel exchanges to exchange information with airports in Japan and abroad. From now on, we will enhance our collaboration with them and promote our initiatives.
Implement environmentmanagement to encourageenvironmental initiatives acrossNarita Airport
Waste is sorted for recycling into six categories in passenger terminal lobbies, and 10 categories in the o�ce areas.
High energy-e�cient LED lights have been installed for taxiways and some parts of lighting in passenger terminal buildings.
Waste water from restaurants in terminal buildings is treated to be reused as �ushing water in airport toilets.
Solar power panels are installed at passenger terminal buildings and NAA Building. The generated electricity is used for lighting and as a power source for the NAA Information Room.
We maintain a hands-on nature conservation park, located on the noise mitigation land. The park features a rich diversity of natural life.
Mitigation embankments and wooded bu�er zones have been constructed to reduce aircraft noise.
To reduce environmental impact from the airport as much as possible, year-round and short-term noise, air quality and water quality measurements are taken. The measurement data is disclosed on the NAA website.
Quiet, zero-emission GPUs have been installed at all �xed stands of passenger terminals to provide electric power and air conditioning to parked aircraft.
Geothermal energy is used for air conditioning in the connecting corridor of Passenger Terminal 2.
We promote the introduction of low emission vehicles such as electric vehicles as well as fuel-e�cient andlow-exhaust cars.
In convenience for customers driving electric cars and for airport-related business entities, fast chargers are installed in parking lots P1 and P2.

■Encouraging GPU UsageWhen aircraft are parked on the apron and engines are shut o�, essential power and air conditioning can be provided by a small engine �tted to the aircraft known as APU*2. APU operation, however, generates noise and emits substances that cause global warming and air pollution. Consequently, the use of APUs is restricted and the use of GPUs is encouraged at Narita International Airport. GPUs enable us to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions, as they provide power and air conditioning from ground facilities. For example, with a Boeing 777, APU operation produces about 770 kg of CO2 per hour, while GPU operation produces about 50 kg, less than 10% that of an APU. Currently, GPUs have been installed at all �xed stands in Passenger Terminals 1 and 2. They are also installed at most stands in Passenger Terminal 3 and cargo area (power supply only). Additionally, since state of the art aircraft such as the B787 and A380 require more electricity than can be provided by previously installed GPUs, we are also expanding GPU capacities. In �scal 2015, the GPU usage rate dropped to 85.7%. It is believed that one of the causes is attributed to the increased numbers of aircraft that do not use GPUs due to their shorter turnaround times. In the future, we will continue to expand GPU capacities, and encourage airlines to make full use of GPU facilities.
In order to conserve the global environment, Narita International Airport is striving to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions caused by airport operations. A large percentage of CO2 emitted by the airport as a whole is due to aircraft operations. Carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft operation are declining as a result of the increased introduction of fuel e�cient aircraft thanks to the e�orts of airlines and installation of GPUs.*1 Additionally, a variety of energy conservation methods are underway to reduce CO2 emissions from airport facilities. In �scal 2015, CO2 emissions per �ight were 4.20 tons, a reduction of 13.9% compared to �scal 2010. The target for �scal 2015 of reducing emissions per �ight by 10% compared to �scal 2010 (4.88 tons CO2/�ight) as set in the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) has been achieved. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020) calls for a reduction in CO2 emissions from the airport per �ight by an additional 7% by �scal 2020. We will continue to take airport-wide measures to combat global warming through the encouragement of the introduction of fuel-e�cient aircraft and various countermeasures for the reduction of energy consumption by airport facilities.

■Co-Generation SystemGenerally, thermal power stations burn fossil fuels such as oil or coal to generate electricity. However, the process wastes large amounts of energy in the form of unused waste heat and electrical transfer losses. If this wasted heat can be recovered and used for hot water supplies and heating and cooling requirements, energy e�ciency can be greatly increased. Our co-generation system has made this possible. It was introduced to the Central Heating and Cooling Plant of the airport in 2000. Fueled by low emission gas, it provides approximately 20% of the power used in the airport and 50% of the steam for heating and cooling requirements.
■Solar Power GenerationWe installed a solar power generation system for e�ective use of natural energy in 1999. Eight hundred and eighty-two solar power panels (with capacities of 120 kW) are �tted to Passenger Terminal 1, the roof of the NAA Head O�ce Building, and elsewhere. The electric power generated by these solar power generation systems is used for lighting and other applications at the NAA Head O�ce and passenger terminal buildings. In �scal 2015, total power generated was approximately 117,000 kWh. In addition, the approximately 2,000 kW Sanrizuka Solar Power Plant located on airport land adjacent to Narita International Airport began operations in March 2015 for the sole purpose of selling electric power. Small solar power panels used for outdoor signs and so on are also found in restricted areas of the airport. Measures taken by other organizations include the installation of solar panels on the government agency building constructed in the cargo area. These panels are used to supply power to the building.

We will continue to develop infrastructure in order to facilitate the use of low emission vehicles by visitors and airport-related business entities.
Narita International Airport promotes the introduction of low emission vehicles* to its service �eet. According to the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in June 2016, 47.3% of the approximately 6,600 vehicles owned by airport-related business entities are low emission vehicles. This is an improvement of 4.1 points from 43.2% in �scal 2010, but the target of a 5 point improvement set in the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) was not achieved. In �scal 2015, our low emission vehicles accounted for 59.3% of the commercial vehicles. This was a 23.5 point improvement from 35.8% in �scal 2010, surpassing the 20 point improvement target speci�ed in the Master Plan. Under the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020), we will improve infrastructure for low emission vehicles in order to encourage the introduction of low emission vehicles and their use for travel to the airport. Currently, electric vehicle fast chargers are installed in two parking lots at Narita Airport (P1 and P2), and there is a station where fuel cell vehicles perform hydrogen fueling.

LED lights on the ceiling of international arrival lobby in Passenger Terminal 2
LED taxiway lighting
■LED Lighting
We have been promoting the shift of taxiway lights to navigate aircraft from halogen lamps to LEDs (light emitting diodes). LED lighting lasts longer than halogen lamps and reduces the replacement frequency of lighting components. The LED itself consumes 1/10 of the power of a halogen bulb and is four times more energy e�cient even when including the lighting device. As of the end of �scal 2015, 56.5% of taxiway lights are using LEDs, a substantial increase from 33.8% in �scal 2010.
In conjunction with renovation of the international arrival lobby in Passenger Terminal 2, which was completed in March 2016, we replaced lighting �xtures with LED lighting. As a result, approximately 1,270 LED lights were installed, slashing annual power consumption by approximately 40% compared to before the renovation. LEDs are also used for the backlights in advertising boards and information signs in passenger terminal buildings. LED backlighting o�ers a distinct display and provides many other advantages in terms of convenience, running cost and the environment such as lower heat emission, signi�cantly less power consumption, and longer life. We will expand the introduction of high-e�ciency lighting �xtures such as LED lighting in conjunction with future facility renovation plans.

COLUM NNarita Hydrogen Station Opens!
Narita Airport has cooperated with a fuel cell vehicle demonstration program, an initiative toward a hydrogen-based society that uses hydrogen. Hydrogen is an energy source with possibility of great contribution to save energy and reduce environmental impact. The Narita Hydrogen Station (operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), located adjacent to Passenger Terminal 1, opened in March 2016 as a �rst step toward a hydrogen-based society and is available for general use. At this station, airport users and others involved with the airport, as well as a wide range of local residents, can fuel their fuel cell vehicles in Narita Airport.

■Energy Conservation Measures in Passenger Terminal Buildings
Due to its immense facilities, Narita International Airport (including fueling facilities) consumes a large amount of energy: 4,649 TJ*1, with electricity and gas combined. More than half of the electricity consumed at the airport is the operation of air conditioners, and other equipment used in passenger terminals. We strive to save energy through the strict control of lighting and air conditioning according to areas for passenger, o�ce, retail and others. For example, boarding gate areas are divided into zones according to �ight schedules and air conditioning is run in each zone only when necessary. Also, daylight sensors are installed in 56 locations in the terminal buildings, and lighting is automatically turned on or o� according to the light level in those areas. Motion sensors in bathrooms reduce lighting when no one is present for a certain period. In addition to these measures, a Building and Energy Management System (BEMS)*2 was introduced in Passenger Terminal 2 in �scal 2008. The system monitors the operations of the air conditioning, power, and heating/cooling systems across a wide and complex area. Since �scal 2011, we have conducted energy-saving measures on a large scale. After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the government ordered the restriction of electricity use. Taking this opportunity, we have optimized the volume of outside air introduced by heating/cooling systems, adjusted the fan inverter output of heating/cooling systems, adjusted ventilation fan operating times, and implemented other energy-saving measures. Particularly in large spaces such as passenger terminals departure lobbies, we have implemented all-return control to reduce the volume of outside air introduced by heating/cooling systems.Also, air conditioning operation load has been reduced while maintaining the interior environment by measurement of temperature, humidity, CO2 concentrations, etc. Those measures satisfy both of substantial energy savings and comfort.
Another measure to reduce energy consumption is the use of geothermal heat, which maintains constant temperature throughout the year. It is used for air conditioning facility of the connecting corridor between the Passenger Terminal 2 main building and satellite which opened in 2013. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) set a target for �scal 2015 of cutting energy consumption by airport facilities per �ight by 15% compared to �scal 2010. Even though Passenger Terminal 3 was put into service in April 2015, energy consumption by airport facilities in �scal 2015 was just 15.1 GJ*1 per �ight, a reduction of 27.4% from 20.8 GJ per �ight in �scal 2010, signi�cantly exceeding the target thanks to the implementation of energy-saving measures throughout airport facilities. CO2 emission from airport facilities is signi�cantly a�ected by emissions coe�cient based on the performance of electric power company. Thus, the target for �scal 2015 was maintained at the actual level from �scal 2012 (0.78 t CO2 per �ight, an increase of 2.6% from �scal 2010). Despite an increase in the electric power CO2 emissions coe�cient, CO2 emissions from airport facilities in �scal 2015 were 0.76 t per �ight thanks to the substantial reductions in energy consumption discussed above, and the target was achieved. We will continue to pursue further e�ciency of air conditioning, power usage and heating, through strategies developed in accordance with the Act on the Rational Use of Energy.

*2 BEMS (Building and Energy Management System) : A system which optimizes energy use by monitoring the operation and management of air conditioning, power, heat sources, and other operations, centrally measuring energy consumption for each area, and then utilizing that information. Use of BEMS allows us to optimize the operation of air conditioners, etc.
As a landlocked airport, Narita International Airport has implemented steadfast and detailed measures to mitigate aircraft noise, the largest factor a�ecting the local community since its opening. In 2005, we instituted a unique landing charge system for international �ights that o�ers preferential charge to quieter aircraft, which has encouraged airlines to introduce those aircraft. As a result, the number of quieter aircraft has increased each year since then. In April 2013, landing charges for international �ights were reduced even further. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) set a target for �scal 2015 of improving the introduction rate of low-noise aircraft under the Narita Aircraft Noise Index to 90%
as an aircraft noise countermeasure. The rate in �scal 2015 was 90.7%, ful�lling this target. The noise mitigation measures are split into three categories: Reducing Noise at Source; Improved Airport Layout; and Community Programs. The main components of our community programs include subsidies, compensation and land use. They are implemented according to the Law Concerning Prevention of Disturbance Arising from Aircraft Noise, etc., around Public Aerodromes*1 (Aircraft Noise Prevention Law), and the Special Measures Law Concerning Aircraft Noise Prevention Strategies around Speci�ed Airports*2 (Special Act for Aircraft Noise Prevention).
■Introducing Quieter AircraftAs part of the global movement towards quieter aircraft, in �scal 2002 Japan prohibited the operation of aircraft which do not meet the provisions for noise standards set out in Chapter*4 3 noise standard by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)*5. In order to encourage the use of Chapter 4 aircraft which come under more stringent noise standards, we have introduced landing charge system for international �ights that provides preferential treatment for quieter aircraft since �scal 2005. The system o�ers lower landing charges for international �ights based on the noise level (Class A to F) of the aircraft according to the Narita Aircraft Noise Index. The quietest Class A aircraft are charged at least 20% less than Class F aircraft. As the graph on the right shows, Class A to C aircraft which satisfy Chapter 4 standards have gradually increased since �scal 2002 when Chapter 2 aircraft were prohibited. The ratio increased signi�cantly after �scal 2005 when new charge system was introduced. Recently, airlines have been promoting the introduction of new aircraft with state-of-art technology on their �eets' renewal. These aircraft make substantial contributions to reducing environmental impacts such as noise and greenhouse gases.
*4 Chapters are noise certi�cation standards for aircraft set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Upper-limits for noise levels measured at approach, takeo� and lateral certi�cation points are set out in accordance with the maximum takeo� weight of an aircraft.
*5 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a UN (United Nations) specialized agency under the Economic and Social Council. It was established in 1947, and its headquarters is in Montreal, Canada.

■Night Flight Restrictions (Airport Curfew)Since opening in 1978, takeo�s and landings at Narita International Airport have been restricted in principle between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., except emergency conditions or unavoidable circumstances, such as due to typhoon, heavy snowfall or other unusual weather conditions , or conditions that a�ect safety of �ight operation and sudden/serious medical cases. As of March 31, 2013, night-time operating restrictions were also relaxed. In addition to the above circumstances, permitting �ights from 11:00 p.m. to midnight for situations that are beyond airlines’ control, such as unusual weather condition at the departure airport. In �scal 2015, night-time operating restrictions were relaxed 65 times. Information on �ights operated after airport curfew is released the following day on the NAA website, “Information on Flights After Curfew” (http://www.naa.jp/jp/csr/curfew/ [Japanese version only]).

■Establishing and Monitoring Flight Corridors (Monitoring Zones)To minimize the impact from aircraft noise, �ight corridors (monitoring zones) for direct ascent and descent have been established from the Tonegawa River to the Kujukuri coastline. They are monitored to ensure that aircraft do not deviate from the corridors. In the case of deviation from the corridors without a valid reason such as weather or safety, the �ight number and reason are disclosed to the public and the airline is issued a directive by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. In �scal 2015, the number of aircraft deviating without valid reason was seven (0.003%).
■Aircraft Noise Measurements
Exhaust port of an APU
To measure noise of take-o� and landing aircraft, we have been monitoring aircraft noise since opening in 1978, presently with 33 monitoring stations around the airport throughout the year. The annual Lden*1 values, an index of aircraft noise, of all monitoring stations met the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law standards in �scal 2015. In addition to monitoring stations mentioned above, there are also 23 stations installed by Chiba Prefectural Government, 10 by Ibaraki Prefectural Government and 36 by local municipal governments (as of April 2016). In total, 102 stations around the airport monitor aircraft noise continuously. Data from our 33 stations can be viewed in real time on our environmental information website, “the Narita Airport Environmental Community.” *2

*1 Ichizaki Station was closed in March 2016.
*2 Results of the Hasunuma Station are treated as reference value since it has a long absent observation period during �scal 2015.
Short-term monitoring is carried out by NAA to verify noise zone speci�cations according to the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law. Aircraft noise is monitored at 58 locations along the boundary of Class 1, 2 and 3 zones over a period of seven consecutive days, mainly in summer and winter. In locations where particularly detailed information is required, monitoring is also conducted in spring and autumn. Lden values in �scal 2015 were within the criteria for the speci�ed zones under the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law at all short-term monitoring locations (see p. 61).
Short-Term Monitoring
■Airport Ground Noise MonitoringWe have installed �ve ground noise monitoring stations in and around the airport and conduct continuous monitoring to measure noise* produced from the airport by various sources other than taking o� and landing aircraft.
* Noise caused by construction at the airport, taxiing aircraft, engine testing, using of auxiliary power units (APUs), and so on. Of these, noise from taxiing aircraft, engine testing, using of APUs are subject to aircraft noise reference values (Lden).

■Soundproo�ngSubsidies for soundproo�ng for housing and public facilities areprovided for under the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law so as to prevent or reduce aircraft noise disturbance.
When an area is classi�ed as Class 1 under the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law, residences in that area are provided with subsidies in order to carry out necessary soundproo�ng and air conditioning according to their noise level. For air conditioning that shows deterioration over a speci�ed period of time, subsidies are also provided for replacement.
Under the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law, facilities such as schools, nursery schools, kindergartens, hospitals, pediatric hospitals, special nursing homes for the elderly and other public facilities also receive subsidies for soundproo�ng and air conditioning according to their noise level. As with private housing, subsidies are also provided in order to upgrade deteriorated air conditioning after a certain amount of time.
Residential Soundproo�ng
School and Public Facility Soundproo�ng
■Relocation CompensationUnder the provisions of the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law and Special Act for Aircraft Noise Prevention, compensation for relocation is provided for residences in areas that are particularly susceptible to the impact from aircraft noise. In addition to the relocation of individual households, we also o�er group relocation in order to preserve local communities and settlements which hold a long history of social ties.
Community Programs■Engine Run-Up Noise MitigationWhen the maintenance on an aircraft is completed, it is important to test run the engines in order to ensure safe operations. To minimize the noise generated during these tests, we constructed a Noise Reduction Hangar in cooperation with airlines in 1999. This facility ventilates air from the ceiling, thus engine tests are available at any time regardless of wind direction. Also, thanks to its hangar-type structure, noise mitigation e�ect has been improved dramatically compared with conventional properties. This facility reduces the noise level in the vicinity of the airport boundary (400 meters away) to under 60 dB,* same loudness as normal conversation.
In �scal 2015, jet engines were tested 778 times, of which 725 (93.2%) were tested in the Noise Reduction Hangar.
Noise mitigation embankments
■Development of Noise Mitigation Embankments and Wooded Bu�er ZonesWe maintain noise mitigation embankments and wooded bu�er zones around the airport to reduce the noise impact of aircraft running on the runway. For example, an embankment of 100 meters width and 10 meters height reduces the noise level of taxiing aircraft to 10-12 dB on the other side of it (i.e., 600 meters away). In areas where trees have been growing in adequatenumbers for a suitable length of time, we take full advantage of their value as natural assets and their noise mitigation e�ects bycreating wooded bu�er zones.
Narita International Airport Noise Mitigation Committee
■Grants for Community Programs
■Narita International Airport Noise Mitigation CommitteeThe Narita International Airport Noise Mitigation Committee is a forum for discussing the prevention of aircraft noise disturbance as well as measures to reduce that noise. The committee is comprised of local municipal leaders, academic experts, community representatives, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Chiba prefectural government, the airlines and NAA. Regional working groups have been set up under the committee for the individual areas around the airport to discuss issues presented in order to improve noise mitigation and achieve safe and proper airport operations. The committee was founded in 1972 and had its 42nd meeting in March 2016.
We contribute to the cost for prevention of any interferences caused by aircraft noise in the vicinity of the airport, and to development work in the surrounding community. Subsidies are provided for regional countermeasures in Chiba Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture and the 10 cities and towns surrounding the airport.
Since opening in 1978, we have contributed a total of approximately JPY 117.3 billion in subsidies, as of March 31, 2016. We contribute to the maintenance of soundproofed public facilities, and also roads, parks, �re �ghting facilities and community facilities around the airport.

■De-IcingWhen snow accumulates on the wings and tail �ns of aircraft, or frost and ice occur, it a�ects the lift required for takeo� as well as control functions. As this can cause accidents, de-icing—the spraying of an aircraft with de-icing agent*1—is essential in cold winter months or when snow falls. The main component of de-icing agent is propylene glycol. It is not harmful to humans and is even used in foods, but once it �ows into rivers and streams, it may cause organic pollution*2. We provide de-icing aircraft bays where de-icing agent that falls onto the apron can be collected in holding ponds. Water containing de-icing agent is carried from the apron via storm drains for treatment at a de-icing e�uent treatment facility. Also, if de-icing is operated at other parking stands, de-icing agent is collected in special vehicles and treated in the same manner.
*1 De-icing agent is a substance which prevents ice from forming on aircraft.
*2 Organic pollution is water pollution caused by organic substances entering a body of water. They consume oxygen during decomposition which leads to hypoxia (oxygen de�ciency).

■Prevention of Falling Objects from AircraftWe consider falling objects from aircraft such as airframe parts and ice blocks to be serious issues. To date, aircraft approaching from south of Narita International Airport have been asked to complete gear down over the sea in order to free any accumulated ice. Other steps are also taken such as requests for thorough maintenance and inspection; inquiries into the causes of falling objects; and careful monitoring. As a
result, there has been a drastic reduction in the number of incidents involving ice blocks and other falling objects. We will continue to work with all relevant parties to eliminate such incidents completely, introducing new policies such as cautioning aircraft approaching from north of the airport to avoid gear down over concentrated residential areas.
-19.2%
FY 2015 target15% reduction
Monitoring is carried out at Narita International Airport to grasp the impact on air quality surrounding the airport due to emissions created by aircraft operations and other airport-wide activities. We work to limit air pollution from aircraft, from vehicles traveling within the airport, from operation of the Central Heating and Cooling Plant, and so on. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) called for reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions per �ight by 15% compared to �scal 2010 (20.3 kg) by �scal 2015. In �scal 2015, NOx emissions per �ight were 16.4 kg, a 19.2% reduction from �scal 2010, ful�lling this target.
Web
■Air Quality MonitoringWe have six year-round air quality monitoring stations in and around the airport. They continuously monitor concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), photochemical oxidants, hydrocarbons, suspended particulate matter (see p. 63). In �scal 2015, photochemical oxidants failed to meet the environmental criteria, but the monitoring stations of local governments in the area around the airport observed the same concentrations. Thus, it is believed that the concentrations were not limited to just the airport but were a more widespread occurrence.
We take various measures to preserve water quality. For example, monitoring water quality to grasp the e�ect of rainwater runo� from Narita International Airport on the surrounding rivers and streams; adequate installation and operation of water treatment facilities; installation of facilities to separate oil and water so as to avoid any trouble in case of oil spillage in the aviation fuel tank farms, and so on.
■Water Quality MonitoringWe regularly monitor the surrounding rivers and streams in six locations once a month, and monitors 24 hours a day in three locations, including drainage canals. While storm drainage levels do �uctuate, care is taken to prevent a negative impact on rivers downstream (see p. 64). Slightly elevated coliform bacteria levels were observed in prior years, but testing conducted at those times revealed that the increases were due to natural causes, and con�rmation was made that there was no adverse impact on health and sanitation. Underground water levels are monitored continuously in the vicinity of the airport and the water quality is measured once each year. Monitoring results of �scal 2015 con�rmed that underground water quality met environmental standards.

*2 Grey water is treated rain water and wastewater for recycling. It is called "grey water" because it is midway between potable water and wastewater.
Some 2.20 billion liters*1 of water is consumed per year by airport users. In passenger terminals and other facilities, we strive to conserve water through motion sensor faucets, water-saving toilets and so on, and utilize greater amounts of grey water*2 (recycled water) from rainwater runo� and treated kitchen wastewater. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) called for potable water consumption to be reduced by 10% compared to the �scal 2010 level (43.2 liters per person) by �scal 2015. The result was 30.9 liters and a 28.5% reduction greatly exceeding the target. A declining trend in the volume of used potable water can also be seen. The Master Plan also set a target of a 25% grey water usage rate by �scal 2015. This was also achieved, at 29.6%. We will promote the reduction of potable water consumption and increased use of grey water.

Holding pond
■Rainwater RecyclingOil separation plant and holding pond have been installed at Narita Airport to prevent rainwater runo� from a�ecting the quality and volume of water at downstream waterways. Rainwater is collected in a holding pond with a capacity of approximately 610,000 m³ located on the western side of Runway A and �ows out from there into drainage canals outside the airport. In order to use rainwater e�ectively, we operate a treatment facility that puri�es rainwater runo�. Rainwater is collected in the pond, converted into grey
water at the facility, and used as cooling water in the Central Heating and Cooling Plant as well as �ushing water in passenger terminal toilets. In �scal 2015, the rainwater treatment facility produced about 440 million liters of grey water.
Water Consumption at Narita Airport* (Actual results for FY 2015)
Approximately 20 million liters of grey water produced from rainwater is provided by other facilities (ANA maintenance center, NCA maintenance hangar, the government agency building in the cargo area, and so on).

■Recycling Wastewater from Restaurant KitchensKitchen wastewater from restaurants in passenger terminals contains many impurities such as fat and organic substances. Therefore, it is treated at the Kitchen Wastewater Treatment Facilities to remove impurities through biodegradation. Afterwards, water is taken to the Grey Water Production Facilities where it is disinfected and puri�ed through membrane separation and activated carbon absorption, allowing it to be reused as grey water.
Grey water is reused for �ushing toilets in passenger terminals and at NAA Building. Approximately 200 million liters of grey water was generated from restaurant kitchen wastewater in �scal 2015.
■Composting of Kitchen RefuseSome of the kitchen refuse from airport restaurants and the NAA cafeteria is composted. In �scal 2015, approximately 3 tons of compost from about 14 tons of organic waste was produced. Compost is then used in greening projects in and around the airport, or given away to the public at events in the airport or local community. Many people look forward to this annual supply.

In order to reduce environmental impact, the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) are actively encouraged when handling waste produced by operations at Narita Airport. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) aimed to decrease the amount (per airport user) of general waste incinerated, calling for a 3% reduction by �scal 2015 compared to �scal 2010 (0.48 kg per person). Levels in �scal 2015 were 0.45 kg per person, an decrease of 6.2% from �scal 2010, meeting the target. The plan also called for an increase in recycling rate of waste of 3 points by �scal 2015 compared to �scal 2010 (24.7%). The rate in �scal 2015 was 27.8%, an increase of 3.1 points, meeting the target. Going forward, not only will we seek to maintain the reduction in waste, but we will develop new areas of recycling and perform comprehensive waste sorting for recycling.

■General Waste SortingThe greatest volume of general waste produced at Narita Airport is unloaded from aircraft, which comprises about half of the total amount. Some of this waste, such as leftover in�ight meals, must be incinerated for legal quarantine reasons. For other waste, while adverse conditions such as limited onboard sorting space and time available for cabin cleaning exist, a portion of airlines do sort and recycle waste such as in�ight magazines, bottles, cans and plastic bottles. Meanwhile, general waste from passenger terminals, cargo area, o�ces and other facilities is sorted into bottles, cans, plastic bottles and so on, ensuring that reusable items are recycled. Additionally, the recycling of shredded paper from
airport o�ce buildings was introduced in July 2011. Since �scal 2013, collection spots for shredded paper have been expanded to nearly the entire airport. Led by the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council, recycling initiatives have been expanded to include the airport as a whole. We will pursue the reduction of waste and promote our recycling initiatives in cooperation with airport-related business entities.

Waste from aircraft (newspapers, magazines and other garbage)
At the NAA Head O�ce Building, waste is sorted into 10 categories (bottles, cans, plastic bottles, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, copier paper, shredded paper, burnables and unburnables). Except burnables and unburn-ables, all remaining eight categories are recycled. Special locked boxes are placed in the copy rooms in the building and other o�ces to collect used paper. Approximately 18 tons of used paper was collected in �scal 2015. The paper was recycled at pulp mills into toilet paper for use in restrooms at the NAA Head O�ce Building and other locations. We have taken other recycling measures such as collecting spent tape cartridges from label printers for return to manufacturers. We will pursue an increase in our recycling rate through waste reduction measures such as steps toward a more paperless o�ce and in-house awareness programs.
We promote green purchasing, in accordance with the Green Purchasing Law,*1 when purchasing products or ordering construction. In addition to quality and price concerns, we also select items and services that place the least possible burden on the environment. In �scal 2015, green purchasing was followed for 219 designated procurement items, including goods such as copier paper, stationery, and o�ce equipment, as well as services.*2 In addition to these items, we also call for selecting eco-friendly products such as Eco Mark products and those listed on the eco-product database of Green Purchase Network (GPN).
■Sorting and Recycling at the NAA O�ce
■Green Purchasing
The apron areas where aircraft park are paved with solid concrete, but must be repaved occasionally due to deterioration. During such major pavement projects, conventional methods call for existing pavement to be torn up completely. Replacing the pavement with new concrete is a long-term project and generates a vast quantity of waste material.
Consequently, we developed its own method known as the Bonded Overlay Method. This involves scraping the existing concrete surface, overlaying a thin layer of concrete on that surface, and bonding the new material. Compared with conventional methods, this method greatly reduces waste and the amount of concrete used.

*1 The Green Purchasing Law (Law Concerning the Promotion of Eco-Friendly Goods and Services by the State and Other Entities) encourages the procurement of eco-products (items and services that reduce environmental impact) and provides information on eco-product procurement, aiming for a society based in sustainable development.
*2 Services : Contracted services such as o�ce building management, cleaning, printing, etc. Green services involve certain contract conditions. With cleaning, for example, detergents used should be made from waste oil or animal or vegetable fats, and collected waste should be sorted into recyclable, burnable and unburnable waste.

Narita Sakura no Yama(Cherry Blossom Mountain)
Utilizing existing forestry, natural environments are conserved as Satoyama (cultivated countryside forests). For more e�ective use of Satoyama, in 2005, in conjunction with Chiba Prefectural Government, Narita City, the Narita Airport Hotels Association and the Narita Satoyama Development Association, we created walking trails extending to 4 km from of f-site drainage ways. The trails allow visitors to jog or walk through pristine natural environments while enjoying the seasonal colors.
Satoyama (Countryside Forest)Development
Environmental work on of f-site drainage ways connecting to the Tokkogawa River north of the airport is being carried out, creating concrete canals which closelyfollow natural streams. Cherry blossom trees donated by local residents and others are thriving successfully on the banks, and provide a colorful spectacle in spring.

In order to create an area for relaxation in the region, cherry blossom trees and azaleas have been planted at Sanrizuka Sakura no Oka. People can watch aircraft taking o� and landing from a grassy knoll. The Minami Sanrizuka Nature Trail, which extends from Sakura no Oka, is a wood chip path through existing forestry, wonderful for strolling and forest bathing.
■Use of the Land after Relocation We make e�ective use of farming land vacated by relocation in order to promote local agriculture. Suitable land is leased to local farmers, with the assistance of municipal governments in the area. Unleased land is regularly cultivated and mowed, and Chinese milk vetch is planted to sustain and improve soil fertility so that the land can be used for future farming. Meanwhile, residential and other non-farming land vacated by relocation is being planted with poppies, cosmos and other wild�owers to preserve the beauty of the landscape and prevent depredation. In �scal 2015, 0.6 ha of Chinese milk vetch and 6.6 ha of wild�owers were sown.
■Organic Farming TraineesWe began o�ering support for organic farming courses in �scal 2005. The classes are conducted in organic JAS-certi�ed �elds with the cooperation of local farmers. We have accepted 37 students to the courses so far. Graduates take up farming in various areas, including regions around the airport, contributing to the vitality of farming in those areas. Some also work as tutors in the project and
instruct new students. The advantage of the project is that it puts idle land to new use and nurtures the development of newcomers to the farming industry who will carry on into the next generation. Organic vegetables raised by organic farming trainees are available for sale at Sky Station Fuwari Shibayama (see Access Map, p. 42).

Greenport Eco-Agripark is a pristine natural adventure park on a 17 ha tract of our company's property which adjoins Shibayama Mizube no Sato Waterside Park, south of the airport (in the Iwayama district of Shibayama). The park opened in 2007 and features low hills and vales, typical of the Hokuso region, and a richly varied environment which is home to many species of insect and varied �ora and fauna.
Our aim is to restore the Satoyama landscape, and to protect an environment rich in biodiversity. The Agripark o�ers not only a strolling spot for local residents but also hands-on experiences in rice cultivation in collaboration with Shibayama Town near the airport and nature observation classes by the Narita Airport Eco-Kids Club.
COLUM NFlutterer Dragon�ies Appear in the Greenport Eco-Agripark
Have you heard of �utterer dragon�ies? You will likely conjure up an image of a dragon�y, which uses transparent wings to rapidly change directions while �ying, but the �utterer dragon�y has lustrous, deep metallic violet wings and uses its wide wings to �utter about slowly. Its beautiful appearance is truly like that of a butter�y. The �utterer dragon�y inhabits ponds and swamps with abundant vegetation. It is also known as the “airplane dragon�y,” as it looks like an airplane when gliding from a high altitude. The airplane dragon�y lives in the area around Narita Airport—this is a fun fact, don’t you think?

Environment Management
Based on an original management vision, we formulated an Environmental Master Policy, later establishing the Eco- Airport Vision, as well as the Eco-Airport Master Plan, which contains speci�c targets for airport-wide initiatives. As a framework for expediting progress in the Eco- Airport Master Plan, we also set up the Eco-Airport Promotion Committee,*1 composed of executives, and the Eco-Airport Promotion Council,*2 a subordinate body composed of department heads, as well as Eco-Leaders*3 in each department. Additionally, a Regional Environmental Committee, comprised of academics and experts, has also been established, as an advisory body to the NAA President and CEO, in order to investigate and discuss important issues such as environmental management systems and environmental strategies at Narita Airport. With the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council at its center, this airport-wide framework promotes the implementation of various environmental initiatives.

Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council
Narita Airport is operated by around 700 companies, related government agencies, and other bodies. It is crucial to share information and work with these airport-related business entities to alleviate environmental impact of the airport. We set up the Narita International Airport Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council, in conjunction with these companies and organizations, in January 2005, so as to further airport-wide environmental initiatives. The council comprises 21 companies, seven organizations and nine governmental agencies, including airline and airfreight forwarder associations, all sharing the objective of promoting eco-airport activity.
The council meets about twice a year to hold progress reports on initiatives, and their results towards achieving the targets of the Eco-Airport Master Plan. The speci�c measures under the individual initiatives are examined and implemented by the council’s three subcommittees.

●Public relations regarding Council initiatives
Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council Members (as of September 1, 2016)
The committee implements 3Rs waste initiatives. In �scal 2015, waste receptacles for leftover beverages and plastic and other containers were installed in front of security checkpoints in passenger terminals in an e�ort to reduce general waste produced by the airport and increase the recycling rate. To encourage proper disposal of waste, educational posters intended to prevent illegal dumping have been updated and installed in areas where refuse is gathered, and other measures have been taken to encourage practice of the 3Rs with regard to waste at Narita Airport.

We proactively disseminate information to encourage abroader understanding, inside and outside the airport, onenvironmental measures taken at Narita Airport, and results produced. Our environment report is posted on the NAA website. It is not only distributed to airport-related business entities and local residents, but also sent to libraries and universities throughout the nation in order to expand its readership. We also send the report by post on request. We also produce a digest version of the environmentreport, for distribution in passenger terminals, so as toinform customers of our environmental initiatives. Through such activities, we are working to enhance recognition of environmental initiatives at Narita Airport.

As publicity activities to raise awareness among airport sta�, the Public Relations Committee holds annual events such as the Narita Airport Eco-Festa and Airport Cleanup Drives. In March 2016, the committee held a lecture for airport sta� on environmental measures that the airport can take. The lecture was attended by approximately 100 persons. The committee also enhanced the content of the Council’s website and solicited submissions of Narita Eco-haiku (short Japanese poems on ecology and the environment) and eco-photographs to make even more people aware of environmental initiatives at Narita Airport and the activities of the Council. http://www.naa.jp/eco/fun/index.html (Japanese version only)
Eco-Drive Campaigns
The Air Quality Committee takes measures to address global warming and reduce air pollution. In �scal 2015, the committee worked to raise awareness among airport sta� and others by encouraging them to participate in the Light Down Campaign, which calls for nighttime illumination to be reduced and to save energy in other ways with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. The committee also conducted two Eco-Drive Campaigns during the year, encouraging people driving to the airport to engage in the eco-driving and minimize idling times as a means of reducing CO2 and air pollutants.

COLUM NEco-Kids Club 2016 First Eco-Tour Report (conducted on August 19, 2016)
The �rst eco-tour of �scal 2016 was conducted on August 19, 2016, in the latter half of the summer vacation. Fifty-two elementary school students participated in the tour, which consisted of varied and fun environmental education programs including observation of a GPU, a visit to the Museum of
Aeronautical Sciences, and a hands-on runway noise measurement experiment along the runways. The enthusiastic eco-kids displayed positive attitudes as they learned about environmental initiatives.
■Regional Consultation CentersAt the regional consultation centers, sta� consult on a wide range of topics such as environmental issues and lifestyle planning in addition to responding to requests and opinions concerning the airport. There are three regional centers: the North Area Consultation Center (Narita City, Chiba Prefecture); the South Area Consultation Center (Shibayama Town, Chiba Prefecture); and the Ibaraki Area Consultation Center (Kawachi Town, Ibaraki Prefecture) (see p. 65).
We make every e�ort to have the environmental initiatives at Narita Airport known by a wider circle of residents around the airport and by the public in general. In addition to environmental education for children, who hold our future in their hands, we pursue a wide variety of PR opportunities such as environmental exhibitions to introduce our environmental measures in place at Narita Airport.
Communicating with the Public
■Narita Airport Eco-Kids ClubThe Narita Airport Eco-Kids Club was launched in 2005 for children in the �fth and sixth grades of elementary school. The club now holds eco-tours three times a year, in order to inform the next generation about environmental initiatives at Narita Airport, and to give them an opportunity to experience the natural environment surrounding the airport �rsthand and to
understand the importance of protecting nature. In �scal 2016, the 12th graduating class of eco-kids started with many schoolchildren from Tokyo, Chiba, and other areas in the Kanto region taking part. Approximately 550 children have participated in the program since its establishment.
■Cleanup Drives in and around the AirportIn �scal 2004, in cooperation with the town of Shibayama, we began a roadside beauti�cation and cleanup drive in the southern area of the airport, taking place each summer and winter, in order to provide a more pleasant airport environment for our customers. The program was expanded in �scal 2005 including roads within the airport and was held jointly by the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council and Narita Airport CS Council* in cooperation with other airport-related business entities. In �scal 2012, the campaign was expanded to include airport apron areas. The number of participants grows each year. In the 31st cleanup drive in December 2015, more than 480 sta� took part, as well as the mayor of Shibayama, and the President and CEO of NAA.
* Narita Airport CS (Customer Satisfaction) Council is comprised of organizations which deal directly in customer service. It is responsible for improvement of CS throughout Narita International Airport and pursues a variety of activities. Cleanup drive in the airport site

With our management vision that aims to deepen the partnership with the local community for coexistence and become an eco-friendly airport, we have been maintaining our environmental communication with residents in the surrounding area. We strive to maintain close relations with relevant personnel in the surrounding municipal governments, and to exchange views through the Narita Airport Noise Mitigation Committee, municipal government meetings, residential brie�ngs, and through regional events. We also hold classes on the environment for local junior-high school students.
Connecting with the Community
■Participating in Events
GPUs are used to reduce noise and CO2 emissions generated by parked aircraft. We introduced our e�orts of GPU usage. The club members enjoyed touching the GPU equipment attached to aircraft and feeling the cooled air of 2–3°C blowing out of the underground duct.
GPU Tour
Eco-crafts is one of the most popular programs. For this session, participants made solar lanterns from empty plastic bottles of the tea they had for lunch. They enthusiasti-cally decorated their own bottles with colored markers, origami paper, and other materials to create one-of-a-kind lanterns.
The Museum of Aeronautical Sciences presents information on the history of aviation and aircraft structures. The museum tour is one of the most popular programs. With educational sheets in their hands, eco-kids toured around the museum from top to bottom to deepen their understanding on aviation and the environment.
Museum of Aeronautical Sciences
Here are some of the comments made by the participants:
“I wasn’t very interested in environmental problems or airplanes, but I became more interested from this tour.”
“I want to use in school what I learned during the tour.”
“I gained a lot of important experiences including measuring noise and seeing the GPU.”
The club members conducted a noise measurement experiment nearby aircraft taking o� and landing on Runway A. Also, they had a “yelling competition” to see which team could yell the loudest, making noise much louder than the aircraft.
Noise Measurement Experiment Comments from Eco-Kids
Sky Day event
In order to strengthen communication with local residents, events such as “Sky Day” and Christmas festival are held at the airport. We participate in other regional events and festivals. In these occasions, we introduce our airport environmental initiatives through panel displays and quizzes, and distribute compost made by airport restaurants and NAA cafeteria kitchen waste to local residents (see p. 37).
We believe that collaboration with other airports in Japan and abroad toward common tasks will lead to the resolution of airport environmental issues on a global scale. In addition to strengthening our partnership with major international airports in Japan, we exchange ideas and information with overseas airports through the ACI*
Regional Environment Committee and through personnel exchanges with sister airports.
* ACI (Airports Council International) is a global organization made up of airport and airport building managers and owners, who work together to promote environmental conservation as well as safety, convenience and e�ciency in international air transport.
We are a proactive member of ACI, which is an organization of 595 bodies (as of March 2016) managing 1,855 airports in 173 countries and regions, with sta� serving on four of ACI’s Standing Committees (Economics, Environment, Aviation Security and Airport IT). The 34th meeting of the Environment Standing Committee was held in Seattle in May 2016, and opinions were exchanged on issues such as the relationship between aircraft noise and emissions and on climate change. In addition, the Asia-Paci�c Regional Environment Committee, to which we belong was established in April 2013 and began its operations. The committee met for the sixth time in Delhi, India, in March 2016. Among the issues discussed were management of in�ight waste and
environmental measures undertaken by member airports. Our company sta� member gave a presentation on noise management.
■ACI Activities: World Environment Standing Committee
■INTER-NOISE Congress"INTER-NOISE" (International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering) is the largest international conference on noise and vibration control and has been held annually since 1972. The congress addresses not just aircraft noise, but a wide range of topics including noise from other forms of transport and general environmental noise. Experts from universities and research organizations around the world gather to present papers and engage in discussion. This year, it was held in Hamburg, Germany in August by the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering in cooperation with the German Acoustical Society. The theme was “towards a quieter future.” Our employees attended the congress and gave a presentation about a questionnaire survey on health e�ects of aircraft noise.
■Participation in Eco-Products ExhibitionWe have been participating in the Eco-Products Exhibition (name changed to “EcoPro: International Exhibition on Environment and Energy” from �scal 2016) since �scal 2004. It is the largest environmental exhibition in Japan and is held in Tokyo every December. In �scal 2015, we set up an airport booth together with Hokkaido Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., and others. A joint stamp rally was held, and panels introducing the measures at the airports regarding CO2 emissions, recycling, noise and so on were also displayed. The airport booth attracted some 5,000 visitors, including environment professionals and students. The exhibition provides a good opportunity to acquaint people with the environmental measures conducted at Narita Airport. Eco-Products Exhibition 2015

Together with airport-related business entities, we strive to reduce CO2 airport-wide through the following aircraft, vehicle and airport facility initiatives.
Aircraft account for approximately 70% of CO2 emissions for the airport. Thanks to measures to encourage the introduction of new aircraft, the transition to highly fuel-e�cient aircraft such as B787s has progressed, and the target was surpassed.
International landing charges based on the Narita Aircraft Noise Index have promoted introduction of low noise aircraft by airlines, and as a result, the target was surpassed.
As a result of systematic replacement to low emission vehicles, the target was surpassed.
The Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council played a central role in encouraging the introduction of low emission vehicles, and the percentage of low emission vehicles increased by 4.1 points from the benchmark year. However, the target was not achieved.
Since landing charge system for international �ights based on the Narita Aircraft Noise Index has promoted introduction of quieter aircraft, the target was surpassed.
As a result of the replacement to newer aircraft, introduction of low emission vehicles, and reduced energy consumption by airport facilities, the target was surpassed and a reduction was achieved.
Increases in coliform bacteria numbers in rainwater runo� were observed in past years, but other factors did not have an impact on downstream waterways and water quality was maintained. Environmental standards for groundwater from prior years were maintained.
As a result of systematic switching to LED lighting �xtures, the target was surpassed.
The electric power CO2 emissions coe�cient increased, but the target was surpassed as a result of the decline in energy consumption as described above.
There were a number of factors that increased energy consumption during the plan period including the opening of Passenger Terminal 3, but the target was substantially surpassed as a result of switching to energy-saving equipment, streamlining of energy management, and other factors.
The GPU usage rate declined in conjunction with an increase in �ights with short aircraft parking times, and as a result, the target was not achieved.

Kaori KurodaExecutive Director, CSO (Civil Society Organization) Network Japan
This report consists mainly of overviews of the new Eco-Airport Vision 2030, which was established in response to international trends and domestic and overseas changes that a�ect Narita International Airport, as well as the new Master Plan (FY 2016–2020) intended to achieve that vision and the previous Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015), which was based on the Eco-Airport Vision 2020 and has generally been achieved. Accordingly, my opinion will focus primarily on these items. The president’s message expresses a strong commitment to carrying out environmental initiatives for achieving the Eco-Airport Vision 2030 in collaboration "with stakeholders." I believe that presenting a vision for Narita International Airport in 2030, which has an extremely strong public nature, is quite signi�cant and the impact will be substantial in various areas. I believe that it would be very bene�cial for the airport to present a roadmap covering the period until 2030. The Eco-Airport Vision 2030 sets ambitious targets including sustainable development by local communities and the airport, initiatives to address global-scale environmental issues, and creation of an eco-airport with stakeholders, indicating the airport’s enthusiasm and commitment to becoming an airport with the world’s highest standards. The Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2016–2020) for achieving this vision is organized into four areas—community environment initiatives; resource conservation initiatives; climate change initiatives; and environment management—and sets targets including quantitative targets, but I believe that environment management is related to the other three areas. Collaboration and dialogue with stakeholders will be particularly important for achieving the Eco-Airport Vision 2030, and I would like to see some consideration of indications so that readers can understand that this is an item involved in multiple areas. The review of the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) in
Special Feature 2 is very clear and understandable. The compliance-related items quantify key performance indicators (KPI), and while environmental conservation initiatives undertaken through communications with stakeholders and other airports in Japan and abroad and so on are qualitative, I believe that it would be bene�cial to indicate some type of evaluation indicator for determining whether or not those targets have been achieved. The discussion of stakeholders focuses on the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council, but there is a wide range of stakeholders including local residents, local governmental bodies, individuals who work at the airport, users, and environmental organizations without any direct links to the airport. I would like to see more information on how Narita, as an international airport, identi�es stakeholders and engages in dialogue and collaboration with them. The Eco-Airport Vision 2030 presents sustainable development by local communities and the airport as one target. The sustainable development goals (SDGs), which also set 2030 as the target year, were adopted by the United Nations in September 2015, and in 2016 each country including Japan began implementation of measures for achieving those targets. Sustainable development is something that requires integration of economies, the environment, and society. Sustainability has also been made an important aspect of the Olympic and Paralympic Games that will be held in Tokyo in 2020. Narita International Airport reports already contain considerable information on issues other than the environment, and therefore, I would like the airport to consider incorporating more of a perspective of sustainability in future reports.
Our ResponseWe are grateful for the valuable opinions concerning our environmental report. The new Eco-Airport Vision 2030 describes initiatives to reduce local environmental impact from airport operations and address global-scale environmental issues to be undertaken in collaboration with stakeholders with the aim of creating a sustainable society. In consideration of the opinions presented to us, we will proceed to achieve our goals in 2030 by following a backcasting approach, deepening our understanding of environmental issues that are particular to the airport industry. We do not consider that stakeholders of Narita Airport are limited to individuals and businesses with relationships with the airport, and believe the scope to be much broader. Dialogue and collaboration with such stakeholders will be
essential for the realization of the vision. The Eco-Airport Master Plan includes dialogue with stakeholders as an action item, and we will continue to reinforce environmental management in the future. We will also investigate how the perspective of sustainability should be re�ected in future reports. Further expansion of Narita Airport’s capacity cannot be achieved without the development of the communities that support the airport. We will seek greater harmony and mutual prosperity with local communities and take additional action toward the new targets as an eco-airport.

Environment Report 2015—Readers’ SurveyThe Environment Report 2015 was released, with 7,000 copies of the Japanese edition, and 500 copies of the English edition. Together, we received a total of approximately 80 survey responses, containing a generally positive opinion of the overall report. We would like to o�er our sincere thanks to all those who took the time to share their valuable feedback and impressions with us.
The Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council membership currently comprises 21 companies, seven organizations, and nine governmental agencies, and those seven organizations each have numerous corporate members. When the member companies are included, total participation is approximately 400 companies, and we are approaching other airport-related persons to participate in environmental initiatives.
Reducing CO2 emissions from the airport was one of the targets under the Eco-Airport Vision 2020. The target was to cut emissions per �ight by 15% compared to �scal 2010 by 2020. By �scal 2015, they have been successfully reduced by 13.9%, and we expect to achieve the target. Consequently, we adopted the Eco-Airport Vision 2030, which incorporates the earlier vision. Achieving the new vision will require understanding and support not only from airport-related companies and their sta� but also local residents and everyone of our airport customers. We are also putting e�orts into environmental management (see p. 20).
We have taken action to restore natural areas that were lost as a result of airport construction. To conserve rare species such as the hotoke loach and their ecosystems, we will continue taking measures to protect the natural environment tailored to the speci�c conditions of each location in the neighboring area.
I feel that the membership of the Eco-Airport Development and Planning Council, just 37 businesses and governmental bodies, is low considering that there are approximately 700 airport-related business entities.
Airport Tour ParticipantI think that it is wonderful and positive that environmental consideration is given to the hotoke loach and various other wildlife.
Airport UserI hope that the Eco-Airport Vision can be achieved as planned.

It was adopted as the aircraft noise standard in
Japan on April 1, 2013.
Noises during the evening (19:00-22:00)
and night (00:00-07:00; 22:00-24:00), which
create a greater nuisance, are weighted as
louder, and the total aircraft noise in one day is
expressed as a continuous 24-hour noise level.
In addition to �ight noise, the Lden includes
taxiing and other ground noise.

In this year’s Environment Report, we presented an overview of the Eco-Airport Master Plan (FY 2011–2015) and reported on the achievement of targets under the plan. We also presented information on the new Master Plan, which went into effect this �scal year. Numerous �gures, graphs, illustrations, photographs, and other graphics are used and technical terms are explained in footnotes to keep the content as easy as possible to understand, but we focused on reporting the progress of our plans and future initiatives accurately.
We are truly grateful to all of the airport-related business entities which provided data and those cooperated with our interviews. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved. Last, it is our hope that many people will learn through this report about the environmental initiatives undertaken at Narita Airport, and we welcome your valuable feedback, which will help us to enhance the content of future reports.
