The Forest
In 2021, Budapest Airport set itself the primary goal of achieving net zero emissions 15 years earlier than the previous commitment, by 2035 at the latest, along its zero carbon roadmap. BUD has taken a number of initiatives to reduce and compensate the environmental impacts of its airport operations. The Budapest Airport Forest is an integral part of the airport operator’s responsible and sustainable operations. Budapest Airport strives to maintain its position as a regional industry leader in sustainability and create long-term value. Budapest Airport aims to be a role model for the industry in the area of sustainability. Trees help combat global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide, removing and storing carbon, while releasing oxygen back into the air. By planting more trees, Budapest Airport contributes to global reforestation efforts, restoring lost forests, repairing damaged ecosystems and mitigating climate change.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
168.25 t* of CO₂
