The sustainability agenda is increasingly important to all stakeholders – employees, capital providers, shareholders, and society in general. Aircraft lessors have a role to play in mitigating the effects of climate change, collaborating with airline customers and OEMs in determining the future landscape.

The global focus on climate and the drive for the reduction in carbon emissions are resulting in systematic changes across all industries. Developments in sustainability are unstoppable and should, therefore, be an integral element for every business.
