Sustainability

Our Commitment

Sustainability is formally embedded in our Vision: leading the world in innovative and sustainable vertical flight solutions. Our leadership in sustainability sets us apart in the industry and differentiates us to our employees, customers, and business partners. Supported by our Core Values, our strategy, ambitions, and actions will be fueled by the evolution of the vision of our Company through the coming decades.

As a global operator, we understand that priorities for local communities and environments in which we operate may differ, and therefore we have the flexibility and agility to meet those needs. To demonstrate our ambition to be the best sustainability partner in all regions that we operate, we use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as one of the foundations for how we build our sustainability strategy in these areas around the world. We also commit to respecting the rights of all people, and we will continue to develop and refine our approach to Human Rights on an ongoing basis.

 

The safety of our passengers and employees is the cornerstone of our social commitment and a key part of our mission and purpose. We also believe that being a responsible and sustainable Company is about making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work. Through Bristow Uplift, we choose social investment initiatives that align with our Core Values and work to build strong community relationships that will have a positive impact on our communities and create long-term value for our business.

We have a robust catalog of training and apprenticeship programs that not only support the development of our current employees but help build the capacity of a future workforce. We prioritize local procurement and local content procedures, where possible, and we have a robust communications system that we use to engage in conversations with various stakeholders. We are also proud that our workforce reflects the diversity of the global communities in which we operate.

Human Rights

Recognizing that the aviation industry has a significant role to play in mitigating the effects of climate change, we employ a diverse range of initiatives aimed at reducing our own emissions footprint, 98% of which comes from aviation fuel, which in turn will aide our customers in reaching their own climate-related goals. Three commonly accepted industry levers that we are utilizing to reduce our Scope 1 emissions are: Operational Efficiencies, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and our Advanced Air Mobility strategy (AAM). For more details about current initiatives and progress in each of these areas, visit our latest Annual Sustainability Report.

Being a good steward of the local operating environments and being environmentally responsible is a key pillar of our sustainability strategy. We periodically review areas where we can reduce our other Scope 1 and 2 emissions, such as employing the transition to electric ground vehicles, utilizing renewable energy sources where feasible, and implementing energy resource efficiency projects at our locations around the globe. We have also developed a robust climate change risk management strategy aligned with the recommendations made by the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Governance

Bristow values our shareholders and is committed to proactively engaging with all of our stakeholders, including our employees, customers, vendors, investors, and communities, through a variety of forums. We strive to incorporate their input into our approach of integrating sustainability into our business practices.

We value transparency in our sustainability policies, programs, and initiatives and, throughout our Annual Sustainability Report, disclose key metrics and performance indicators that we utilize to monitor our progress and facilitate goal setting. The report is prepared in alignment with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) for the Airlines industry and includes additional applicable SASB metrics for the Air Freight and Logistics and the Oil and Gas Services industries. We also report in line with the recommendations of the TCFD to detail our approach to managing climate-related risks and opportunities in our enterprise risk assessment processes. To further enhance our disclosure on our key sustainability topics, we also align the report content with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards.
