Doing what's right for the planet

We hold ourselves to a higher standard of environmental stewardship in areas where we have the greatest impact and influence, pushing ourselves to operate efficiently, use resources responsibly, and limit our GHG footprint.

Embracing product stewardship

In our Commercial Aviation segment, we are building products that reduce the aircaft weight to help airlines reduce their carbon footprint — enabling savings in fuel costs and lower GHG emissions. Our Connected Flight Deck additionally helps pilots optimize routes  in real-time to further cut fuel consumption.

Reducing energy use and GHG emissions

In FY21, we worked with a third party to evaluate our energy use patterns and use those resultstos minimize spikes, thereby reducing energy use and cost and avoiding GHG emissions. We are in the process of establishing a formal baseline for our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions; once established, we will develop emissions reduction goals and document our progress in a GHG inventory management plan.

Saving water

To save water, we implement water strategies depending on what makes the most sense for a location — from upgrading to low flow sink faucets at multiple sites to reusing recycled water for landscaping.

Sustainability begins with passionate employees. We empower employees to explore and support the causes that matter most to them, including being sustainable in their day-to-day work environment. At our offices, we:

• Provide ongoing employee education around sustainability
• Offer programs to support alternate commutes
• Hold annual Earth Day celebrations

Our campus design encourages employees to build a relationship with nature, which we believe creates a sense of ownership around our environmental sustainability efforts — which includes recycling stations, bocce ball courts, jogging and biking trails, shade structures for informal meetings, and ample green space that incorporates 11,000 native plants and trees.
