Accelerated support is needed to meet the industry’s 2050 goal: GE Aerospace Survey

A global survey of 325 aviation decision-makers in six countries shows alignment on and investment in sustainability but recognizes that accelerated support is needed to meet the industry’s 2050 goal.

The survey, conducted by Ipsos on behalf of GE Aerospace, showed 76% of respondents believing sustainability has fundamentally changed the way the industry operates and a majority of those with sustainability strategies in place indicating that their company sustainability investments will grow or remain steady, even amid rising inflation and risk of recession.

A plurality of respondents (30%) identify meeting the industry’s sustainability goal as the top current challenge, surpassing supply chain (19%) and labor issues (11%). This mirrors the industry’s broader sustainability push and the collective goal of reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050.

Allen Paxson, VP and GM of Commercial Programs Strategy, at GE Aerospace, said: “These results show that the aviation industry is focused on the goal of achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, while also recognizing the need to accelerate efforts and ensure all key stakeholders are on the playing field.
