Mission Pathways
Representatives of Eindhoven Airport are committed to the following mission pathways:
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Healthy green working environment
In industrial areas, the risk of waterlogging and heat is often high due to the lack of greenery and the extensive hard surfaces. Damage and nuisance from climate change in industrial areas can be mitigated by designing them to be green and shaded. This makes industrial areas more climate-resilient and improves the quality of the living and working environment.
Network congestion
The demand for and supply of (sustainable) electricity are increasing. All this electricity needs to be transported through the existing cables (the electricity grid). More capacity must be created on the grid as soon as possible, and we will need to make smarter and more optimal use of the grid. This is being addressed at provincial and regional levels, including through the regional taskforce and pMIEK.
Regional raw materials market
To prevent new raw materials from being used in construction and industry, a circular raw materials bank can provide a solution. Here, reusable materials are registered and made available.
Scaling up sustainable business parks
Sustainability of a business park requires a collective approach. This means cooperation between entrepreneurs (association), property owners, suppliers, advisors, and the government.
Sustainable and circular business operations
A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and raw materials. Companies play an important role in this.
Sustainable mobility and logistics
There are various ways to make mobility in the business park more sustainable. Sustainable commuting to and from work offers various benefits and opportunities. It results in climate gains, it is healthier, and it is often cheaper. Working from home, using public transport or cycling to work, carpooling, or using an electric bike.
