ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE PROTECTION

Airport operations and air traffic have a wide range of environmental impacts.

Fraport is committed to addressing these responsibly and reports annually on its environmental performance and initiatives through its Environmental Statement under EMAS.​

Our Path to Net Zero Emissions​

The Fraport Group is committed to achieving Net Zero across Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at all fully consolidated locations by no later than 2045. ​

By 2030, Fraport will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the Group and at Frankfurt Airport. The target is to cut annual emissions to 95,000 tonnes across the Group and 50,000 tonnes in Frankfurt. Since the 2024 reporting year, the focus has expanded from CO₂ alone to all climate-relevant greenhouse gases (CO₂e). Net Zero refers to greenhouse gas neutrality. For its international locations, Fraport aligns with the respective national climate targets. Detailed measures are outlined in the Decarbonization Master Plan.​

Pioneering Role in Airport Climate Certification​

Fraport co-developed the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program together with the Airports Council International Europe (ACI Europe) in 2008 and became the first airport operator worldwide to receive the corresponding certification in 2009. Today, the ACA program is recognized as the industry standard.​
