Sustainability and environmental protection
Here you will find an overview of projects and initiatives in which FC Bayern and the Allianz Arena are committed to greater environmental protection and sustainability.
Operating an arena that accommodates tens of thousands of fans almost every week and is also used for a wide variety of events poses a particular challenge for environmental management. Our goal is to minimise the ecological impact of this. Every step we take is therefore viewed in the context of the associated environmental impact. Measures to save energy, water and raw materials as well as climate protection in connection with the reduction of CO2 emissions are to be rigorously implemented and new ideas to protect the environment consistently developed. An ecologically compatible future is close to our hearts.
"As a stadium operator, we don't just want to offer people a first-class football experience. We also have a responsibility towards future generations and the environment. It is therefore our aim to organise all our activities in a way that conserves resources as much as possible and aligns them with environmental and climate protection," says Jürgen Muth, managing director of Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH.
EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme)
In 2006, the Allianz Arena was awarded EMAS certification and since then has seen it as an obligation to continuously improve its environmental performance through ongoing review, planning and implementation of specific measures.
