Statement on the environmental policy
of Flughafen Wien AG and its subsidiaries
“The corporate policy of the FWAG Group is geared towards pursuing economic, social and environmental objectives in a balanced manner.
The following key strategic guidelines for our environmental policy are derived from this:
The Flughafen Wien Group (FWAG) is committed to treating the environment with care and awareness and undertakes to comply with all relevant environmental laws, regulations, official requirements and binding obligations, as well as to continuously improve measures that minimise negative ecological impacts.
This means:
- treating the environment and natural resources as efficiently and sustainably as possible, particularly through the implementation of a comprehensive environmental management programme, new technologies and the use of alternative energy sources. Where the company has influence, efforts are made to involve local partners and customers in environmental activities.
- giving the highest priority to ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders and residents affected by air traffic, and to the sustainable safeguarding of quality of life in the region, primarily through continued work in the dialogue forum and the neighbourhood advisory board, as well as by utilising all technical and practical means to minimise the impact of emissions and air pollution despite a general trend towards increasing traffic volumes
- to practise social responsibility in our relationships with all stakeholders. This applies in particular to our employees, but also to suppliers and service providers, as well as within the context of our regional and social role, and to all relationships with stakeholders in our neighbourhood and beyond. We promote and respect ethnic and ideological diversity to the highest degree and make a special effort to support women and improve working conditions for older employees. Our social responsibility also serves as a guiding principle for our charitable donations and sponsorship activities.
