Budapest airport has won the Cargo Airport of the Year - Europe award at the Payload Asia Awards in Singapore. The award was bestowed on Budapest airport for the development of air cargo handling and the cooperation of the Budapest cargo community. The award is in recognition of the hard work of the Budapest cargo community in making Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport and its world-class air cargo handling complex, BUD Cargo City, the cargo gateway to the region and Asia.
Budapest airport has also won a special award for sustainable procurement, which was presented to the company’s representatives at the Procurement Bar conference on 17 October. The organisers highlighted in connection with the award that it is commendable that Budapest Airport has made sustainability an integral part of its procurement strategy and activities, setting an example for the entire Hungarian business sector and the procurement profession.
The Sustainable Procurement Award was established last year by beszerzes.hu, to reward companies that recognise and effectively manage the environmental, social, societal and ethical risks and opportunities of their procurement and supply chains, and actively work to increase their positive impact. The application criteria are aligned with current international guidelines, European Union regulations, sustainability and ESG assessment frameworks. The award seeks to highlight companies that have recognised that procurement, through its complexity, can contribute to minimising environmental impacts and can generate significant positive impacts in the transition to a green economy, social responsibility, social diversity and business ethics.
