Sustainability & ESG
Sustainability has waxed and waned as an issue for aviation for years, but COVID-19 amplified scrutiny around ESG, bringing it into the corporate mainstream and expanding awareness among consumers, investors and policy makers. The aviation industry already has ambitious targets in place to manage its emissions growth and move towards net zero emissions, but pressure continues to build on the sector to invest to accelerate these efforts.
How does the sector ensure its compatibility with the new corporate ESG focus, particularly emissions and social factors? Where should it focus to meet public demands around sustainability/emissions and address a growing perception gap around its environmental performance?
