LCI, a leading aviation company and a subsidiary of the Libra Group, has signed Aircraft Leasing Ireland’s (ALI) sustainability charter. Signatories are committed to driving forward and achieving Environmental, Social and Governance- (ESG) related goals, centred around ten priority sustainability principles.
In signing the charter, an industry that manages more than US$100bn of assets pledges its commitment to achieving net-zero carbon objectives. Additional principles and goals include the pursuit of low-carbon technologies such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and hydrogen, the commitment to reuse and recycling, the drive for greater community engagement and corporate ESG accountability and reporting.
LCI assets operate on mission critical and socially responsible sectors such as Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Search and Rescue (SAR) and offshore wind. LCI is committed to the latest technology aircraft with the lowest CO2 emissions in its class such as Leonardo AW139 and the Airbus H175 helicopters. LCI is also a member of the Airbus Helicopters Sustainable Aviation Fuel forum.
In April 2022, LCI signed an agreement with BETA Technologies to acquire up to 125 of the company’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The battery-powered aircraft have zero operational emissions and will enable LCI to sustainably support mission-critical operations across the globe.
