RYANAIR LAUNCHES NEW ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
AIRLINE
OFFERS CUSTOMERS VOLUNTARY CO2 OFFSETS
FUNDS
RAISED TO SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS
Ryanair,
Europe's greenest airline, today (7 Mar) launched a new
Environmental Policy, which commits to ambitious future
environmental targets building on impressive achievements to date,
including commitments to address climate change, and the priorities
and policies which will allow Ryanair to continue to lower CO2
emissions and noise pollution.
This
Environmental Policy illustrates Ryanair's commitment to managing
its impact on the environment by:
●
Leading the way as Europe's greenest, cleanest airline
●
Committing to ambitious environmental targets
●
Investing billions in the newest, most fuel efficient
aircraft
●
Committing to eliminate all non-recyclable plastics within 5
years
●
Allowing customers to offset the carbon cost of their
flights
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:
"As Europe's greenest airline,
we are pleased to launch our
Environmental Policy, a blueprint for our achievements to date and
future targets. Operating the youngest fleet in Europe, high load
factors and efficient fuel burn, has enabled us to continuously
lower our CO2 emissions to become the greenest airline in Europe.
Furthermore, customers can now offset the carbon cost of their
flight by making a voluntary donation to a climate charity at the
end of the booking process, and we have committed to going plastic
free across our operations over the next five
years."
Ryanair's COO Peter Bellew said:
"We are pleased to launch our Environmental
Policy, which cements our commitment to continuously improving the
carbon efficiency of our operations. By minimising fuel and energy
consumption, reducing noise pollution and relentlessly supporting
global emissions targets, we will play our part in addressing
climate change. We will lead the way through these initiatives, and our
progress will be published annually on our website and in our
annual report."
