 WHY DID WE CHOSE
AEROSPACE
INDUSTRY?
• THE INDUSTRY HAS SET AMBITIOUS TARGETS TO REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY 2050, BUT IT DOESN’T
CURRENTLY SEEM ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE THEM.

• CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY IS A STRATEGIC INITIATIVE THAT

CAN COMPENSATE FOR SOME OF THE NEGATIVE TRANSACTS
FROM THE INDUSTRY LIKE CO2 EMISSIONS, NOISE AND
POLLUTION.

• AS PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE ARE GETTING MORE AWARE OF

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF AIR TRAVEL, THERE MIGHT BE
A BEHAVORIAL SHIFT OF CONSUMER PREFERENCES, ULTIMATELY
BRINGING THE INDUSTRY’S PROFIT POOL AT STAKE.
BCG ANALYSIS – INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ON CLEAN TRANSPORTATION
General Electric has a three-pronged strategy to fulfil its corporate social responsibilities

• Social (employees, customers and communities)

• Environmental (natural environment and resources)
• Governance (investors and government)

This approach covers the most pressing issues in GE’s business, based on prevailing
corporate citizenship principles. In this regard, General Electric satisfies the most notable
of stakeholders’ interests. The company’s strategies, programs, organizational structure
and culture, and other areas of business are developed accordingly.

GE has adopted following operational area under the above listed strategies under CS

• Human Rights
• Supply Chain
• Environment, Health & Safety
• Public Policy and Lobbying
 HUMAN RIGHTS
GE has developed human rights “implementing procedures” that help our businesses
incorporate human rights considerations in all aspects of their operations.

Human Rights
GE promotes respect for fundamental human rights.

GE’s human rights efforts include working to prevent forced labor through its Ethical Supply
Chain program; collaborating with organizations and governments to improve human rights
where it operates ; and using its training, and employment opportunities to provide
opportunities to those in challenging environments
Modern Slavery
GE has strong policies prohibiting forced or child labor in its operations
and in those of its suppliers.
GE conducts thousands of human rights audits of its suppliers in high risk
countries annually.
In 2017 GE joined the Leadership Group for Responsible Recruitment to
help end the charging of recruitment fees.
 ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH & SAFETY
GE’s strong EHS program comes from a robust network of systems and professionals supporting our sites,
services, and projects across the globe. Our excellence stems from our shared commitment across the businesses
and by Company leadership and our standardized risk-based program, which specifies common high
expectations and key methodologies to be used across the globe.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory Methodology
GE is committed to being carbon neutral in its facilities and operations by
2030.
Since 2011, GE has reduced operational greenhouse gas emissions by
nearly 0.62 million metric ton CO2 -equivalents.
GE exceeded its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions goal early, delivering a
21% reduction between 2011 to 2019.
Water Inventory Methodology
GE’s water-use inventory process follows the principles
articulated by the World Resources Institute/World
Business Council for Sustainable Development (WRI/
WBCSD) in its Greenhouse Gas Protocol

Since 2011, GE has reduced freshwater use by about .72

billion gallons of freshwater per year
 SUPPLY CHAIN
Ethical Supply Chain Program
Our Supplier Integrity Guide (SIG) governs all facets of our relationships with suppliers, and includes
specific prohibitions against forced, prison, or indentured labor, and prohibitions against subjecting
workers to any form of compulsion, coercion, or human trafficking.
Conflict Minerals
Virtually all of GE’s products contain one or more of the minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG). The
mining and trade of these materials from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries have
gained international attention for the role that they can play as “conflict minerals,” financing deadly armed groups
in the region. Because of this potential for association with conflict and human rights abuses, GE strives to ensure
that our supply chains are ethical and sustainable, and that we are fulfilling our commitment to respect human
rights through responsible sourcing practices.

PUBLIC POLICY AND LOBBYING

GE works to promote public policy issues in areas such as aviation, energy, healthcare, international trade and
investment, tax, data governance, rule of law, and government procurement. We are committed to engaging
with governments—globally, nationally, and locally—through constructive dialogue, promotion of innovative
public policy ideas, formation of novel public-private partnerships, and investments in solutions that help address
the fundamental challenges that confront societies. Globally, we support public policies that promote open
markets, technology, and innovation.
