Project: Airline

This airline had historically focused only on social issues and community engagement, but was beginning to receive an increasing number of environmentally-focused corporate responsibility questionnaires. This airline was an industry leader in fuel efficiency but had not yet calculated its greenhouse gas data or developed a climate strategy to provide to inquiring corporate responsibility 3^rd parties or to report externally. 

Sustainable Business Consulting helped the company to develop qualitative and quantitative sustainability data to position the company with industry-leading corporate responsibility responses when reporting to 3^rd parties on environmental issues. SBC facilitated the following:   

• Calculated its greenhouse gas inventory on an annual basis and updated its baseline after a merger
• Set its Sustainability Vision & Goals
• Facilitated a materiality assessment of social impacts
• Conducted a climate risk and sustainability opportunity analysis
• Improved its responses on external corporate responsibility questionnaires, including CDP
• Performed 3^rd party verification of the company’s corporate responsibility GRI report

The company was able to understand its largest risks and sustainability opportunities for greenhouse gas reduction and develop a strategy for taking action in environmental sustainability, then proactively communicate its sustainability strategy to its investors, suppliers and customers to position the company as a sustainable industry leader.
