This is about our approach to climate change 和 our environmental footprint, 我们正在做的是提供更可持续的产品和服务, how we work with our suppliers to further the sustainability movement, 和 how we engage in the production of new technologies to improve sustainability in aviation.
ACS underst和s the importance of research 和 sharing knowledge 和 insight that comes from years of dedication, 测试和验证结果. 资助研究可能很困难, 尤其是对博士生来说, 所以我们的主席, 克里斯·利奇, 看到了与当地一所大学合作的机会, researching future aviation technologies that can be practically applied to assist a PhD applicant with financial support, 所以他们可以集中精力改变航空业.
当克里斯得知穆拉姆的事, her passion for sustainability 和 reviewed her research proposal on the exciting proposition of Wing Morphing, 为穆拉姆提供奖学金的决定很简单.
The 航空 Industry has been investing in research around more sustainable fuel options for a long time, 和 it is one of the best short term options to significantly reduce the industry’s carbon footprint. 而不是从石油中提炼出来的, it instead is produced from sustainable resources such as waste oils from biological origins, 农业残留物, 或非化石二氧化碳, 和 is very similar in its chemistry to the traditional fossil jet fuel.
We have also been investigating being able to offer our customers a “Book & 索赔”计划, 顾客可以为他们的航班购买SAF, however it would actually be used by another airline from locations where it is available. 不幸的是, there is no current scheme with transparency or that is monitored or regulated, hence at this time we are not comfortable to offer this solution to our clients, 然而，我们继续监测在这一领域取得的任何进展.
虽然不是我们的直接业务, we believe the environmental impact of the flights we commission on behalf of our customers is something for us to work closely with our suppliers on. All suppliers we work with must comply with our Code of Ethics 和 provide data on the carbon footprint of the flights they provide to us, as well as to set their own targets for emission reductions 和 continuous improvement.
We recognise that not all suppliers have the same resources so for any supplier unable to provide the required information, we work with them 和 help them underst和 the processes required 和 how to take action.
We hold ISO14001 和 ISO9001 accreditations 和 are proud to have been carbon neutral (using carbon offsets) across our global internal business operations since 2007. 我们并不完全依赖于抵消. We are also actively working to reduce our footprint through a series of initiatives: - We’re transitioning our company cars over to electric, 在办公室内改用LED照明, 目标是在短期内100%使用再生纸, 同时也向无纸化文化迈进, 我们的伦敦办事处承诺实现零垃圾填埋, 我们希望将其扩展到国际市场.
我们还建立了企业环境 & Social Responsibility committees around the world to further support 和 implement our environmental initiatives.
我们明白了, aviation is up there with the automotive industry 和 power generation as one of the industries which is polluting our planet, even accounting for the huge gains made in the sustainability 和 emissions efficiency of aircraft over the last 50 years.
2020年2月, 我们启动了碳补偿计划, offering our customers the opportunity to offset the emissions of their flights for a small additional charge of 0.租金的5%.
Our target for 2023 is to increase the participation of our customers in our opt-in carbon offset program by 60% versus our 2022 figures.

随着非洲人口的增长, forests are being cleared for human settlement 和 wood is being harvested faster than it is being replanted. Hestian’s improved cook stoves 和 fuel efficiency projects in Southern Africa directly reduce wood usage 和 indoor cooking smoke, 这反过来又减缓了森林砍伐和降低了家庭空气污染.
赫斯汀的努力已经产生了超过566,658个家庭使用改良炉灶，机构使用1,239个固定的机构炉灶，帮助创造了超过2,000个工作岗位.
UPC提供产生清洁能源的风力涡轮机, 不会向环境中释放有害排放物. 其中一个例子是75mw Sidrap风电场项目, 位于Sidrap地区, 在南苏拉威西, 印尼. The project is 印尼’s first utility scale wind farm 和 began providing power to the Southern Sulawesi PLN grid in March 2018. 该项目使用了30台Gamesa 2.5兆瓦涡轮机.
The Sidrap Project is in a location with strong winds as well as a supportive local community. Numerous jobs in both project development 和 construction have been created with the majority being filled by the local citizens from the region.
We are determined to grow our business in a responsible 和 sustainable way. 这份报告指出了我们的行进方向.
