In 2021, BAG launched its new Sustainability Brochure, “Environment and Sustainability – World leading supply chain expertise”. This essential promotional document which highlights Our Vision – Drivers of change in the aviation industry can be downloaded here.
Decarbonisation & Energy Transition is one of BAG’s Key Themes for this year. The decarbonsation and energy transition theme focus clearly relates to the transition from current practice to a zero carbon aviation sector. This theme encompasses all aspects of our industry from airport development and the resultant built assets through to operational activity.
It is clear that all of our members have value to offer in this arena as a sustainable sector relies on every component changing and, as highlighted from the COP conferences, an integrated approach is the only way to succeed.

One of last week’s highlights was attending the BAG Summer Seminar and evening reception. We found that it was very engaging, very well organised, venue was spot on and everyone was so friendly. Loved engaging with everyone in such a relaxed environment, lots of funny stories were shared. Particularly liked meeting with likeminded professional problem solvers like ourselves.

“The BAG mentoring programme has been a game changer in my professional life. Having a mentor has helped me believe in myself, with my self-confidence and to see things from a different perspective. My mentor challenges me on what is needed and encourages and supports me as well. It is great to be able to have an honest and open discussion with someone who has been through similar experiences and learn from her. I wish everyone could have a chance to have such a mentor!”

“‘Thank you British Aviation Group for your leadership in inclusivity and this spotlight on #femaleleadership! and your continuous support and recognition for Women pushing boundaries across all Industries!’”
