Session:
Energy, Environment & Sustainability
09:40 - 10:10
- Budapest Airport Greenairport Programme
Synopsis: Budapest Airport has recognised that we have to involve and influence the many companies contributing to the emissions and environmental impacts of the airport. We initially did this through business-as-usual methods: contracts, business agreements, positive and negative incentives. But we have realised that this attitude and business model have limitations, and as a
company we must think outside of the box. So Budapest Airport launched a partnership initiative called Greenairport Programme in the summer of 2015 for organisations operating at the airport to work together with the operator on further reducing the environmental impacts of the airport.
Audience will learn:
- How partnership can improve the environmental performance cooperation of over 200 companies and 9,000 employees at an airport
- How to motivate airport partners and stakeholders to go beyond business-as-usual sustainability actions
- Case study of how to implement stakeholder involvement complying with Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 3 requirements
