In addition, FMG received a top grade of "A" in the "Performance score" category for the quality and effectiveness of its environmental activities.

"Through our clear commitment to sustainable airport operations that conserve resources, we are assuming responsibility for the future. This award shows that we are already among the top performers at the global level in terms of climate protection," said Munich Airport's president and CEO Dr. Michael Kerkloh, on the occasion of the awards ceremony at BMW Welt.
