HOUSTON, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bristow Group Inc.
(NYSE: VTOL) today released its second Sustainability Report,
expanding upon the achievements outlined in last year's inaugural
report, further demonstrating the Company's commitment to
responsible growth and environmental stewardship, highlighting its
role as a sustainability leader within the vertical lift
industry.
"Sustainability means striking the right balance between our
economic, social, and environmental responsibilities," said
Bristow President and CEO,
Chris Bradshaw. "We must strive to
have as limited an impact on our local environments as possible. We
must also ensure our operations remain robust through the
contributions of a diverse and engaged workforce, providing the
safe and exemplary service customers have come to expect from us
over the past 75 years. This report demonstrates our forward
progress on this journey."
Bristow's global environmental sustainability highlights in 2022
include using a 10 percent blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
for Bristow's flights to bp's North Sea offshore operations in the
U.K. Continental Shelf, improving environmental management through
ISO 14001:2015 certification and establishment of a Corporate
Environmental Management System (U.K. and Brazil operations were certified in previous
years), and growing the partnerships with and commitment to top
companies developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL)
and short take-off and landing (eSTOL) aircraft.
The Company's social sustainability highlights for 2022 include
implementing a new incident response management solution to further
enhance the robust Target Zero safety culture, helping to achieve a
50 percent reduction in Lost Time Incident Severity Rate (LTISR)
and a 56 percent reduction in lost workdays, as well as donating
more than $500,000 to community
engagement programs through its global Bristow Uplift program.
Additionally, Bristow implemented a new employee platform to
improve tracking of volunteer hours and tied the Company's
sustainability programs to broader-impact objectives through
alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals.
"By reinforcing our sustainability commitments, we strengthen
our business resilience and competitiveness, ultimately
contributing to the overall success of our Company while
positioning ourselves as the top choice for the best and brightest
minds. This report outlines the meaningful differences we are
striving to make that positively impact the lives of our employees,
passengers, customers and investors, as well as in the communities
we call home," Bradshaw added.
