Etihad Airways has a comprehensive environmental strategy to ensure the commitments we have made in our environmental statement are put into action.

These involve the management of potential environmental impacts, ensure continual improvement of environmental performance and explore worthwhile and results driven opportunities and partnerships to support a sustainable future.

We see our staff as key to the success of our environmental strategy and actions.

We have a team of voluntary Green Office Champions to help drive environmental messages throughout our business.

We provide environmental awareness training as part of our induction programme and strongly encourage environmental innovation within Etihad.

In addition we strive to identify suitable partnerships in the areas of environment and sustainability.

We are working with a number of business units of Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company), both in helping to drive the development of sustainable biofuels for the industry and in supporting initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint.
