Menzies Aviation Partners with Climate Care to Cut Carbon and Improve Lives
April 21, 2022, EDINBURGH: Menzies Aviation, a global aviation logistics specialist, is partnering with ClimateCare to support socially responsible projects that cut carbon and improve lives.
ClimateCare has expertise in climate and sustainable development and were selected by Menzies to further its Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments.
The partnership will enable Menzies to compensate unavoidable carbon emissions with a portfolio of socially responsible projects as the company works towards becoming carbon neutral by 2033, its 200th anniversary.
Menzies is supporting three projects: providing clean cookstoves in Bangladesh, afforestation initiatives in Mexico and rainforest protection measures in Indonesia. They align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals that Menzies has committed to advance as a signatory of the UN Global Compact.
Menzies is focused on removing emissions from its operations wherever possible. Through supporting ClimateCare projects, Menzies has been able to compensate for 43,000 tonnes of its 2021 global scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions, which equates to 48% of its global Co2e emissions.
The partnership with ClimateCare follows the launch of Menzies’ All In plan for a fair and sustainable future, which is driving forward collaboration with customers and partners as well as Menzies’ own local and global initiatives, such as sustainable aviation fuel programs, switching to electric GSE and addressing the gender balance with industry-leading diversity targets.
