Bristow releases second vertical lift sustainability Report

Bris­tow Group has this week released its sec­ond Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Report, expand­ing upon the achieve­ments out­lined in last year’s inau­gur­al report and fur­ther demon­strat­ing the Com­pa­ny’s com­mit­ment to respon­si­ble growth and envi­ron­men­tal stew­ard­ship 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, and 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.”

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 UK.

This will entail improv­ing envi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment through ISO 14001:2015 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, estab­lish­ing a cor­po­rate envi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment sys­tem, and grow­ing the part­ner­ships with top com­pa­nies devel­op­ing eVTOL and 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 by align­ing 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.
