Passenger transport – by air, in particular – is a major source of carbon emissions. This is due to our operational model, which involves sending international mobile and HQ based support staff to field projects and using in many regions four-wheel drive.

Our activities further require a lot of products and equipment, part of which we purchase far from our field projects to ensure acceptable quality and availability; shipping all those goods – by air, in particular – contributes significantly to our carbon footprint.  

Reduction of our footprint related to transport and travel will require us to reduce the need for and to change the way we plan and execute our travels and transport of goods, to look for less carbon intensive solutions, like less carbon intensive transport means, and to optimize routing. 

Sustainable reductions will require a cultural shift, consistent effort, and collaboration throughout the organization to align operational priorities with environmental.
