HOUSTON, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE: VTOL) announced today the
release of its third annual Sustainability Report, which
underscores Bristow's ongoing commitment to responsible growth and
sustainable practices, as well as aligning with internationally
recognized frameworks and standards to offer stakeholders a
transparent view of the Company's efforts.
"Our core mission remains focused on providing exceptional
service and maintaining the safety standards our customers have
trusted for over 75 years," said Bristow
President and CEO Chris
Bradshaw. "Our overall sustainability goal is to minimize
our environmental footprint and maintain the resilience of our
operations and competitive advantage, which we accomplish through
an inclusive workforce and active employee outreach in the places
we work and call home."
This year's report highlights Bristow's updates to its
materiality assessment, ensuring that the Company's sustainability
efforts remain aligned with stakeholder expectations as well as the
most relevant areas of potential impact.
Bristow achieved a 50 percent reduction in Lost Work Cases and a
39 percent decrease in Total Recordable Incident Rate in 2023,
compared to the previous year, reaffirming the Company's commitment
to safety as its #1 core value and highest operational
priority.
Bristow is also making significant strides in AAM. In 2023, the
Company added a new strategic partner bringing the total number of
leading AAM manufacturers to eight. Bristow continues helping to
pioneer the development and certification of aircraft powered by
electric and hybrid propulsion technologies that will reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
"We offer decades of extensive experience that place us at the
forefront of the AAM industry contributing critical safety,
operations, certification, and logistics expertise. Together with
our partner, BETA Technologies, we completed the first ever
electric aircraft flight in the state of Louisiana marking a significant milestone,"
Bradshaw added.
Bristow also reinforced its dedication to ethical business
practices and human rights with the creation of a Human Rights
Framework and a comprehensive Human Rights Policy. These
initiatives not only strengthen the Company's commitment to global
standards but also set the stage for enhanced oversight.
This commitment to excellence extends to Bristow's governance,
as evidenced by the addition of Shefali
Shah as a new independent member of the Board of Directors.
Her extensive industry insight enriches Bristow's strategic
deliberations and helps guide the Company forward.
