(Boeing photo) Partnerships, innovation and learning together are critical to our collective success. To explore and mature sustainable solutions, we must continue to work together with partners — across our communities, our industry, academia, governments and non-governmental organizations, and philanthropic foundations — given each have a role to play in tackling climate change and aerospace decarbonization. In October 2021, we hosted a Boeing Innovation Forum in Glasgow. We convened customers, government officials, manufacturers, academia and future talent to discuss the future of sustainable aerospace. It was an enlightening few days as expert stakeholders hosted panels on future sustainable solutions. Perhaps most inspiring was that this forum lent itself to diverse perspectives, given the range of participants and talent. The First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon opened the day with inspiring remarks and announced plans for The Newton Flight Academy at Glasgow Science Center. This Boeing- supported academy is used to teach students about aviation-related STEM concepts and inspire our next generation of leaders. Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator was a popular attraction at the event. The ecoDemonstrator program celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and continues to take technologies out of a lab and test them in the sky with airline and industry partners. It is perhaps one of the best and most visual representations of how innovation and partnerships are informing and maturing sustainable technologies for current and future aircraft. Boeing also participated in COP26, where the world convened to discuss climate change across all industries and on a global scale. There, the World Economic Forum, in partnership with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, announced the First Movers Coalition — a new platform for companies to make purchasing commitments that create new market demand for low- carbon technologies. Boeing is honored to be a founding member. This is just one example of companies and governments collaborating together to advance and accelerate progress. Forward, the Future of Flight Going forward, we will remain focused on employee well-being and safety; global aviation safety; equity, diversity and inclusion; sustainable operations; innovation and clean tech; and global community engagement; among many other important elements. As we look to the future of flight, aerospace innovation is energized by how to decarbonize the industry. Boeing’s strategy is focused on four key areas. Continued fleet renewal with more fuel-efficient aircraft and operational efficiencies will remain critically important levers to reduce carbon emissions. Renewable energy will intersect aviation in new, exciting ways with the industrialization and growth of new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pathways, technology innovation, and production volumes. SAF and the parallel research, studies and demonstrations of electric and hydrogen applications, the renewable energy total life-cycle accounting, zero climate impact aircraft design concepts, safe certification and infrastructure implications, coupled with a sustainable product life-cycle approach, will drive our industry talent, partnerships, innovation and policies going forward. It is an exciting era for aerospace. These are ambitious challenges. Throughout our industry and our company history, we have had the resolve and teamwork to bring jet travel to the world and take people to the moon. We must continue to help humanity take flight in every sense while protecting our planet for generations to come. As Bill Boeing also said, “We are embarked as pioneers on a new science and industry in which our problems are so new and unusual that it behooves no one to dismiss any novel idea with the statement that ‘It can’t be done!’” In that spirit, we are on a journey to solve sustainable aerospace challenges together. We appreciate our stakeholders’ partnership for shared successes as we move forward.
