Partnering with ClimateCare to cut carbon and improve lives
27 April 2022
We are partnering with ClimateCare, experts in climate and sustainable development, to support socially responsible projects that cut carbon and improve lives.
The partnership furthers our environment, social and governance (ESG) commitments and will enable us to compensate for unavoidable carbon emissions with a portfolio of socially responsible projects as we work towards becoming carbon neutral by our 200th anniversary in 2033.
We are supporting three projects: providing clean cookstoves in Bangladesh, afforestation initiatives in Mexico and rainforest protection measures in Indonesia. The projects align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals that we committed to as a signatory of the UN Global Compact.
We are focused on removing emissions from our operations wherever possible. Through supporting ClimateCare projects, we have been able to compensate for 43,000 tonnes of our 2021 global scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions, which equates to 48% of our global Co2e emissions.
The partnership with ClimateCare follows the launch of our All In plan for a fair and sustainable future, which is driving forward collaboration with customers and partners as well as our own local and global initiatives, such as sustainable aviation fuel programmes, switching to electric GSE and addressing the gender balance with industry-leading diversity targets.
Katy Reid, Head of Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility, Menzies Aviation, said: “We are delighted to partner with ClimateCare to deepen our ESG commitments and progress our All In plan for a fair and sustainable future. With over 20 years’ experience in developing innovative carbon offset programmes, ClimateCare will provide highly valuable external perspectives and analysis, which we are applying across our network. As a global business, we remain focused on turning our social and climate responsibilities into positive outcomes for the future of our people and the planet.”
