Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has been conferred the prestigious 'Aviation Sustainability & Environment' award by Wings India Awards 2022 for its efficient green practices. On Saturday, March 25, CSMIA was lauded by the eminent panel of judges at Asia's largest event in Civil Aviation - Wings India 2022, jointly organised by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) at Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad.

The accolade comes as a recognition of CSMIA's efforts towards implementing sustainable initiatives as well as inching closer to being one of the country's most eco-friendly airports.

CSMIA has undertaken initiatives of building an effective waste management system, carbon management system, carbon neutrality, wastewater recycling, and enhancement in renewable energy capacity. Moreover, CSMIA is the first airport in the Asia Pacific to have published a Sustainability report as per the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards.

The CSMIA spokesperson said, “With nearly 5000 flights expected to fly weekly in the summer and passenger footfall reaching new highs every day, we will continue to provide world-class service and comfort to all our passengers while being custodians of environment management and sustainable performance". 

 CSMIA, over the years, has been recognised for its exemplary work in the environment and sustainable initiatives. The airport bagged the Silver Award at the esteemed ACI Asia-Pacific Green Airports Recognition in 2020 for its sustainable water management approach and environment-friendly practices.

Besides, CSMIA's Terminal-2 (T2) was recently conferred with 'PLATINUM rated Green Existing Building Project' for the period 2021 to 2024 by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). Being one of the busiest airports of India, CSMIA's proactive efforts towards sustainability and environmental measures assure the highest safety standards for all its passengers while transiting through the airport.
