AvAir is certified climate neutral

Aviation aftermarket inventory solutions provider

AvAir has been Climate Neutral Certified by the Change Climate Project. AvAir is the first aviation aftermarket company to achieve the standard by measuring 12 months of greenhouse gas emissions, acting on reduction plans, and compensating their footprint with eligible-verified credits.

Climate Neutral Certified is earned by organizations choosing to be accountable for greenhouse gas emissions generated in the production, operations, and shipping of goods and services.

“We’re extremely proud to receive this certificate and be Climate Neutral Certified,” says Tyler Botthof, vice president of operations at AvAir. “As a company, we’ve committed to removing nearly 7,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions which is equal to driving 1,500 gas-powered cars for one year and taking steps to continue to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that are a result of the company’s and team’s actions.”

“Climate Neutral Certified companies are demonstrating immediate action on climate change is possible and essential,” says Austin Whitman, CEO of Change Climate.

Brands must measure cradle-to-customer greenhouse gas emissions each year to maintain certification, then commit to cutting future emissions within 12-to-24-months and invest in verified carbon credits to compensate for their emissions.

AvAir is also working with Waste Management (WM) to invest, improve, and build upon its sustainability strategy and endeavor. AvAir is assessing its processes and data to benchmark procurement, waste, water, energy, fuel, transportation, and other potential contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

“AvAir is modeling what companies can do when they lean into environmental commitments,” says Eric Dixon, vice president, sustainability & environmental solutions, WM. “For more than two years, we’ve helped AvAir better understand its environmental footprint, from procurement and waste generation to transportation and utilities.”

AvAir is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, with operations in Dublin, Ireland. https://www.changeclimate.org; https://avair.aero; https://www.wm.com
