In 2020, to increase its focus on sustainability efforts, the Company revamped its sustainability strategic framework around the following four priority commitments: – – Lead the journey towards clean aerospace

The COVID-19 crisis has also put the important economic contribution of aviation in the spotlight, as travel restrictions and health preoccupations slowed global traffic dramatically. According to the September 2019 ATAG COVID-19 Analysis Fact Sheet, 46 million jobs and US$ 1.8 trillion worth of economic activity, normally supported by aviation, were at risk. Despite these exceptional circumstances, Airbus continues to play an important role in welcoming thousands of apprentices, working students, interns and young graduates thanks to its extensive early career programs, making it a major contributor to SDG 4, “Quality Education”. In Germany alone, there were over 2,000 apprentices and dual students employed as of 31 December 2020 with 640 of them being new entries over the year. Airbus is conscious of the value it brings to society, and it wants to bring this value in a sustainable way, ensuring it can continue to unite and safeguard while minimising its social and environmental impact. This remains a challenge that the Company is taking seriously as demonstrated by its “ZEROe” concepts, Airbus is targeting the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraf t to enter service by 2035. Pioneering sustainable aerospace can offer the Company a competitive advantage, while improving resilience, and ensuring it maintains its license to operate. Conversely, lack of progress could represent a risk to the Company. Beyond the in uence of its purpose, this explains why sustainability is an essential part of the corporate strategy.
