Our performance targets for 2007
The tables below summarise our scoring criteria and environmental performance for 2007.
Summary of scoring criteria
The table below sets out the agreed criteria for scoring each airport’s progress against its targets for 2007.
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| No progress | The target actions have not been progressed at all, or performance is lower than last year. |
| Some progress made | The target has not been achieved but actions have been carried out towards delivering the target. Performance has not achieved the target but is better than last year. |
| Target achieved | All the actions are completed, and items delivered. Performance has reached the target level. |
| Target bettered | More actions have been completed than planned against the target. Performance is better than the target. |

Business as usual
The business as usual forecast is calculated by taking the previous year’s target performance, and adding new developments planned for the year. We use this to set improvement targets for the next year.
