Aviation brings many benefits; however, it also has a significant impact on environmental sustainability, and mitigating these impacts has quickly become one of the most significant challenges for the industry in its just over 100-year history. The BWPA’s role is to support women in aviation to support access to a sector that provides economic and connectivity benefits, as well as significant joy. As the visibility and understanding of the impact of aviation on the environment increases, we feel it is important for the BWPA to consider its role in this context.
The BWPA committee has developed a sustainability strategy to guide how the BWPA will act to play our part in promoting not only the transition to a more sustainable industry, but also promote and celebrate women’s role in this exciting evolving future.
Our sustainability strategy sets out that we will:
- Acknowledge that aviation has environmental impacts, but raise awareness of and embrace the positive changes that are happening across the industry to address these impacts.
- Prioritise partnerships with organisations who value and prioritise environmental sustainability.
- Consider environmental sustainability in our own operations, and demonstrate positive action to being a more sustainable organisation.
- Promote and celebrate the value and role of women in the changing future.
- Be considered and have credibility in where we take action as an organisation, endeavouring to ensure our actions genuinely make a difference to improving environmental sustainability.
Get in touch if you would like to support us as we implement our sustainability strategy.
