The Defence Aviation Net Zero Strategy outlines the steps necessary to meet the commitment to decarbonise the defence sector’s aviation capability, whilst also mitigating potential risks to operational effectiveness that are likely to arise because of climate change. It provides an important advantage, enabling robust, resilient operations through a collaborative framework led jointly by the Royal Air Force and industry.
Leonardo UK Chair and CEO, Clive Higgins, said: “Leonardo adopts a sustainability mindset into all aspects of our business decisions, initiatives and projects to create long-term value and generate positive economic, social and environmental impacts for our business and wider community. As a signatory of the Defence Aviation Net Zero Strategy, this will further enhance our values, especially our commitment towards our people, our impact on the planet and UK prosperity.”
