Carbon emissions
Lara Metcalfe made this Official Information request to Christchurch International Airport Limited
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Lara Metcalfe to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Lara Metcalfe
Dear Christchurch International Airport Limited,
I’m interested to understand how you calculate carbon emissions, and would like to look closely at the numbers.
For the most recently published carbon emissions reporting period (of 12 months) please provide:
- The detailed base data from which the calculations were made - not summarised, but raw data. If you need to remove details like company names that’s fine.
- The worked up calculations (summarised)
- Details of the carbon reporting standards and methodology you have followed.
- Details of any offsets you have applied, including full details of the scheme, how the offsets are achieved, governance etc.
- In the time since you have claimed that Christchurch Airport is “climate positive” or similar, the total emissions (all scopes included) at the airport.
Yours faithfully,
Lara Metcalfe

Dear CIAL Legal Team,
Just a thought. Why have you waited until right before this information is due to then tell me you are in need of an extension? Why would you not do that at the outset?
Yours sincerely,

Kia ora Lara,
CIAL has recently received multiple requests for information via fyi.org.nz website. Many of these requests appear to be related and the volume significantly exceeds what CIAL would expect to receive in the ordinary course of its business.
Nonetheless, we have responded to your request within 20 working days (as per our statutory obligations).
As you may understand, it takes time to process each and every OIA request (in the order in which they arrive) and to speak to the relevant stakeholder(s) required to answer the request(s) accordingly. This has seen substantial resource diverted from where it would ordinarily be deployed.
As previously outlined to you, you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of the decisions contained in our correspondence. Information about how to contact the Ombudsman or make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Hi there
You have not answered the first part of my question, and it's the most important for me, namely:
The detailed base data from which the calculations were made - not summarised, but raw data. If you need to remove details like company names that’s fine.
Please note that I don't want the summary in the Conversio document. I've seen that already. I am after the base data please.
Thanks
