Airbus: Championing Sustainability in Aviation.

Airbus is a leading aircraft manufacturer committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations and products. The company is investing heavily in research and development of disruptive technologies and clean fuel alternatives to create more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft. In fact, Airbus has set a clear goal to bring zero-emission commercial aircraft to market by 2035, through strategic collaboration with partners around the globe.

To maintain its competitive advantage over its major rival, Boeing, Airbus focuses on innovation and research and development. In 2020, Airbus
invested €2.8 billion in research and development, with a significant portion
of this investment is dedicated to sustainability initiatives much more than its rival Boeing. Airbus supports the design and implementation of corporate decarbonisation and sustainability strategies, including managing any relevant compliance and risk management considerations related to business infrastructure. The company is enhancing the overall sustainability of its products, supply chain, resources, operations, and assets by applying the latest engineering intelligence and digital solutions.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, Airbus Protect has also implemented several other strategies, such as using sustainable materials, minimizing waste and recycling materials wherever possible, reducing energy consumption, and working with suppliers to ensure sustainability is integrated throughout the supply chain.

Today, Airbus and Tarmac Aerosave have established a proven method for decommissioning, dismantling and recycling the entire Airbus aircraft product range in an environmentally responsible way. We are able to recycle 92% of an aircraft’s total weight. The company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation is not only good for the environment but also provides a competitive advantage in the aviation industry.
