Introduction
Environmental sustainability enables an organization to report on the impacts of their
operations on environmental issues. Sustainability issues are reported through the sustainability
report. Melbourne airport report on environmental sustainability enlists the actions committed
through the 2013 Environmental Strategy and Airport master plan. It enlists further opportunities
that reduce the carbon footprints of the airport to meet the Victorian Governments goal of zero
emissions by the year 20150. The sustainability issue by the airport supports the Australian
government to the Paris Agreement signed by a host of countries on climatic changes. The
changes have been embedded in the 2018 master plan and environmental strategy draft (Barr,
2016).
1.0 Aim of Environmental sustainability policy
The airport is committed to climatic change. The airport through environmental sustainability is
to reduce the emission and planning for the future of climatic changes. Sustainability reporting
enables Melbourne airport to consider the impact of the wide range sustainability environmental
issues while enabling them to be more transparent about the opportunities and risks they face.
Develop workplace sustainability policy
Be firmly aware of strictly complying with the requirements of the Australians air legislation,
rules, regulations and procedures for aviation security, general rules for the carriage of
passengers, baggage and cargo by air in terms of the implementation of aviation security
measures (Bichou, 2015). At the entrance to the inspection point, check the air tickets and check

the documents with the passenger’s identity, offer the passengers to present any metal items they
may have, as well as dangerous substances that are forbidden to be carried on the aircraft.

1.2 Strategies for minimizing resource use
Minimizing the effects of pollution in the airport is by using fuel free from toxic pollutants
like carbon. Using environmentally friendly sources of energy like the solar powered lighting
systems and generators other than using bio diesel fuels. While consumption from aeroplanes
may be mainly from fuel, it is good to not that eco-friendly fuel is used today in most parts of the
aviation industry (Christopher, 2016).
1.3 Recommendations are made for policy options based on likely effectiveness, timeframes
and cost
Thus, the introduction of environmental impact assessment into a legal environmental
protection mechanism as an element in a coherent system of other legal preventive measures
