Helicopter services company Bristow Group has released its second-annual sustainability report, “demonstrating the company's commitment to responsible growth and environmental stewardship,” it said.
Highlights for 2022 include implementing an incident response management solution to enhance its safety culture, helping to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the lost-time incident severity rate, 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 an 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.
The report also outlines use of a 10 percent sustainable aviation fuel blend for Bristow flights to BP’s North Sea offshore operations, improvements in environmental management, and growing partnerships with companies developing eVTOL and eSTOL aircraft.
"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.”
