Airport Youth Forum
Introducing East Midlands Airport's Youth Forum
Our Corporate Social Responsibility promise is that when our business prospers, the regions and communities we serve will prosper too. The MAG Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Strategy- Working Together for a Brighter Future - builds on our strong track record for improving the way we operate as a business for the benefit of the communities, regions and environment around our airports.
Our strategy is delivered in three pillars, ‘Local Voices’, ‘Opportunity for All’ and ‘Zero Carbon Airports’. As part of our ‘Local Voices’ commitment, we undertake a wide range of stakeholder consultation and engagement including through our Airport Consultative Committees (ACCs) - the formal bodies in charge of liaison between our airports and our neighbouring communities.
To widen and diversify our engagement and we have introduced Airport Youth Forums at all our airports.
The opportunity to become a member of our MAG Youth Forums is open to young people aged between 17-25 who are either in an apprenticeship, or attending a local Sixth form, College or University.
