Sustainability

From aviation's net-zero goal, to decarbonisation in defence, our industry is innovating for a greener future

ASD is a catalyst for sustainability in European aerospace, security, and defence. Committed to achieving climate neutrality, our aviation sector aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 through Destination 2050. In defence, ASD member companies are actively decarbonising, with supply chain collaboration and innovative technologies like sustainable aviation fuels.

ASD engages actively in the evolution of regulations relating to chemicals used in our industry which play a key role in our journey toward sustainability. And ASD members lead the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) revolution, offering safe, clean, and swift alternatives for sustainable city transportation.
