This is Bradford Swissport’s third year of business carbon footprint reporting and certification to Planet Mark. In this Decade of Action, Bramblecrest wants to ensure that they are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring its own impact on the environment. This year, Bradford Swissport will be looking to reduce its carbon emissions by 5%.
Through Planet Mark, the company has protected an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth goes directly towards supporting the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
It is also helping the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future. The company looks forward to sharing its sustainability achievements with the wider community.
“Bradford Swissport’s progress has been incredible. The results are fantastic and go to show what can be achieved by a dynamic team determined to create a better future. From innovative operational measures to spreading its innovations throughout the company, Bradford Swissport is an exemplar in doing things better. The company has created a sustainable alternative for so many other companies, and its operations reach so many people across the world; it’s inspiring to see the ripples of positive change spread.”
Bradford Swissport believes that modern commercial enterprise has a central role in global sustainability. The company is a proud contributor and supporter of the Conscious Capitalism community. They also believe strongly in reducing waste, achieving many aviation industry firsts such as central recycling of waste cooking oils, conversion of recycled oils into bio-fuels for powering airport ground vehicles, the central recycling of cardboard/corrugated paper products; and paperless operations as standard deployed worldwide.
While the carbon efficiency of the aviation industry has fallen since 1990, overall emissions from the sector continue to rise. As the demand for eco-tourism, conscious travel and local produce continues to grow, the industry must respond with technical innovations and operational efficiencies to create a more sustainable future. For international targets, consumer demand and profitability, climate action is necessary.
As part of the Planet Mark certification, Bradford Swissport has committed to making a year-on-year reduction.
