Environmental Sustainability
At BOC Aviation, we actively work to reduce our direct carbon emissions and environmental footprint. We continue to work on reducing our operating GHG emissions by implementing initiatives that lower energy consumption and improve efficiency across our operations.
In 2025, we have surpassed our ESG targets compared to the 2019 baseline and we have achieved:
•63% reduction in electrical consumption intensity per average headcount
•71% reduction in paper usage per average headcount
•35% reduction in total operational emissions per average headcount (like-for-like basis)
Verified Carbon Credit Projects
In addition to our purchase of SAFc, we procured and retired high-quality verified carbon credits as a complementary measure for residual emissions. By supporting a diversified portfolio of carbon removal projects, we aim to help the broader market and scale emerging solutions. In 2025, our portfolio included credits from cookstoves and water filtration. We selected these Verra-certified projects based on their alignment with the SDGs, project accreditation, geographic relevance, as well as their environmental and community impact.
