Climate Impact & Sustainability Data (2022)

Reporting Period: 2022

Environmental Metrics

ESG Focus Areas

  • Climate Change
  • Social Responsibility
  • Governance

Environmental Achievements

  • Reduced fuel consumption by nearly 10% through FLIGHTKEYS 5D flight management system.
  • Removed over 90% of single-use items across its fleet.
  • Committed to carbon neutrality by 2025.

Social Achievements

  • No redundancies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Provided mental health support and extra training sessions to employees.
  • Investing in emission reduction projects that contribute to local communities.

Governance Achievements

  • Published its first TCFD-aligned report in 2021.
  • Integrated climate action across several levels, including the executive committee, and a designated Sustainability department.
  • Undertook a greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting audit since 2019 and repeats this exercise on an annual basis.

Climate Goals & Targets

Short-term Goals:
  • Carbon neutrality by 2025.

Environmental Challenges

  • Insufficient supply and high prices of SAF compared to JetA1 fuel.
  • Growth in private jet sector despite climate change urgency.
  • Managing climate-related risks (high temperatures, coastal flooding, convective weather, clear air turbulence, biofuel price fluctuations, future change in demand for flights, and exposure to carbon pricing schemes).
Mitigation Strategies
  • Investing in and promoting the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
  • Improving fleet management and optimizing routes to reduce fuel consumption.
  • Encouraging early flight bookings for efficient routing.
  • Using a fleet-sharing model to maximize jet usage.
  • Utilizing the most technologically advanced aircraft (Global 7500) with an Environmental Product Declaration.
  • Compensating 100 percent of emissions with carbon credits.
  • Implementing emission reduction target by 2025.

Supply Chain Management
