INAEC Aviation Corp. became the first general aviation operator in the Philippines to submit its Climate Neutral Now Pledge to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on Sept. 15, 202.
By signing the UNFCCC Pledge, INAEC joined a global initiative to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or earlier. INAEC committed itself to measure its greenhouse gas (emissions, plan and implement actions to reduce these emissions and consider contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions through credible carbon credits.
INAEC has been monitoring its carbon emissions as early as 2018 despite the fact that the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation which took effect on Jan. 1, 2019, does not apply to general or business aviation operators.
“This is a natural step for INAEC as part of the Lopez Group of Companies,” said Jay Lopez, INAEC president.
He said the Lopez Group firmly established itself as firm advocates of environmental protection and climate action, as manifested by our ‘no-to-coal’ declaration way back in 2016.
