“Sustainability is an important responsibility for our industry and is a growing desire for our customers. In response, Air Elite has started its sustainability journey. I am proud of the 43 Air Elite members who have stepped up to make their operations carbon-neutral. That’s not an easy investment in this COVID era. Regardless, they have taken the first strides to set a path for Air Elite to be a carbon-neutral network, as well as supporting sustainability initiatives going forward.”

Air Elite’s 2019 carbon purchase utilized Forestry Carbon Offsets

Forests cover nearly 31 per cent of our planet’s land area and are instrumental in removing pollution from the atmosphere.

By purchasing carbon offsets from a forestry project through World Kinect Energy Services, Air Elite is contributing toward the Sustainable Development Goals of the U.N. and will also have a positive impact on climate change. World Kinect handled everything for the network.
