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.”
Achieving carbon neutrality at 43 locations is a meaningful initial action in Air Elite’s vision of becoming a sustainable network. In association with World Fuel, the network intends to expand the sustainability program by providing conservation programs, renewable energy and expanded offset options to decarbonize their operations.

With our solutions, we are in the position to help network members easily achieve their carbon reduction goals.
