    Across our global network, we’re working with airline customers and airport partners to reduce emissions and deliver more sustainable operations. 🌍 On Earth Day, it’s a moment to highlight the progress behind that work and the steps we’re taking to reduce our impact. By the end of 2025, more than 26% of our ground support equipment was electric, and we’re continuing to build on that progress as we move towards our target of 55% by 2032. Science-based targets are guiding more data-driven decisions, while our global ISO 14001 certification and EcoVadis Platinum rating, placing us in the top 1% of companies worldwide, reflect years of consistent progress in environmental management. Leading our industry towards a sustainable future isn’t something we do alone. It’s built on expertise, enabled through collaboration, and delivered through measurable change across our operations.
