Getting Grounded
The Building of a Sustainable Airport
Speakers
Bangalore International Airport, the first Greenfield Airport in India and one of the fastest growing airports in the world, continues to strive to create a meaningful impact not just for its customers but also for the community and environment in which it operates. Popularly called an airport in a garden, it serves to be a delightful experience for travellers having won over 100 distinctions and Indian and International awards including Best Airport, Best passenger Experience and Best Employer, Best Greefields Airport etc.
Beyond its design and success however, BIAL has made a commitment to the environment and sustainability, as highlighted in state of the art water, solid waste and energy management and community engagement.
What does it take to make an airport sustainable? What does it take to make an airport stay grounded yet fly above the rest? Join us for a conversation about the behind the scenes BIAL story which is an example that it’s possible to stay committed to core sustainability values in a profit driven business.
