“We did rally up drivers and MMA2 top management to take part in this event by cleaning up the driver’s park as evidence of top leadership commitment. We would continually reiterate our eco-friendly programme – The Recycled Waste.
“MMA2 is committed to environmental sustainability through its different initiatives, from the management of the specialised FOD waste on the apron (airside) to recycling of general waste on the landside and taking part in the World Cleanup Day to sensitise people and join the millions of volunteers around the globe to tackle the global mismanaged waste crisis and to help create a new, more sustainable and waste-free world.”
