                    As of 1 June 2024, Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB) has become a member of the aviation initiative aireg (Aeronautical Initiative for Renewable Energy in Germany e.V.). As an important air traffic hub, BER Airport has a special responsibility towards society, the climate and the environment.
Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB) - for Berlin Airport - has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 2010 and to be CO₂ neutral by 2045. The decarbonisation of energy supply with electricity and heat as well as the conversion of land mobility to alternative options are important measures for future-oriented airport operations.
