Heathrow appoints sustainability expert to its board

LONDON - Heathrow Airport has appointed Joan MacNaughton to its Board as a Non-Executive Director.

MacNaughton will bring "a wealth of board experience in industry, government, academia and the third sector to the leadership team of Heathrow and at a critical time in its history," the airport said.

As Heathrow prepares to repair the damage done to its business during the crisis, it will anchor a strong focus on the Government's "Build Back Better" and sustainable recovery and growth agenda.

MacNaughton’s experience in global climate change and advocacy will ensure the Board has relevant insight and advice on decarbonising the sector in line with wider 2050 Net Zero targets, ensuring the UK can create a truly global leadership position in the green revolution.

MacNaughton currently chairs the Board of the Climate Group, is a Non-Executive Director of En+Group IPJSC, where she chairs the Health, Safety and Environment Committee and is a member of the Strategic Advisory Board of Engie UK. She sits on several academic advisory boards at energy and climate institutes and publishes and lectures on energy and climate issues.
