The Environment
Emvironment – that’s not a spelling mistake, it’s a combination of the words Emirates and environment. It means that the Emirates Group is committed to eco-friendly practices in the air and on the ground, at its home base in Dubai and across the network.
The bottom line for any company that cares about the environment is how to grow the business using fewer resources and creating less waste and pollution. Airlines can make the biggest reduction of CO2 emissions in the choice of aircraft that they operate - Emirates selects and operates the world’s most eco-efficient aircraft. Emirates has signed up to IATA’s four-part strategy to reduce emissions and works with governments, aircraft manufacturers, customers, suppliers and staff members in the following ways:
• Driving eco-efficiency throughout the whole organisation on the ground and in the air;
• Striving to be an eco-efficient leader in the region, beginning with industrial recycling;
• Developing eco-resorts such as Al Maha and two more in Australia and the Seychelles are under development.
