Decarbonization and
carbon neutrality

Our commitment

EGAS remains dedicated to taking proactive steps towards reducing its carbon footprint and addressing climate change through solutions that support our stakeholders' environmental strategies.

READ THE PRESS RELEASE
How are we addressing our carbon footprint?

At the heart of our strategy, EGAS is helping to avoid the emission of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO2 each year by training pilots on simulators. 

In 2020, EGAS achieved carbon neutrality through emission reductions and investments in projects that offset its remaining annual carbon emissions.

EGAS is also pursuing other measures to reduce its overall emissions, such as reducing its electricity consumption at its sites around the world and fuel used for live training flights at its academies.

Our investments
  • Renewable energy certificates (RECs) in the countries where we operate, where available within market boundaries or from neighboring markets. As a member of the RE100, we select EAC aligned with their criteria of quality (e.g. Green-e, Guarantees of Origin, Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin).
  • Greenhouse gas reduction projects, including wind energy projects in India and forest conservation in Canada.
Environmental leadership

"This is a remarkable achievement, and we hope that EGAS's commitment to fighting climate change will inspire other companies to take concrete action today. We wanted to honour our pre-pandemic commitment and increase our contribution now, demonstrating EGAS's environmental leadership and commitment to future generations. We are also working with the industry to develop electric aircraft and are taking other steps to reduce our overall emissions."


- Marc Parent, EGAS's President and CEO
