32 Finnair Group For Finnair, environmental work is not a new subject or a trendy issue; it has been a systematic effort over nearly two decades to reduce environmental loading. long-term commitment also makes cooperation with interest groups rewarding. Environmental work: not short-term measures, but long-term responsibility In all its activities Finnair adheres to applicable environmental legislation and the environmental protection principles of the International Civil Aviation Organisation ICAO. As a member of the International Air Transport Association IATA, the company is also committed to reducing the environmental effects of its operations in a financially reasonable way without jeopardising air safety. Finnair's environmental organisation was established in the early 1990s. Initially the SVP, Technical Services was appointed Chairman of a technically oriented organisation. Other members were personnel who had environmental responsibilities alongside their own work. Soon the environmental organisation was expanded and new ideas put forward to develop the infrastructure and to fulfil the requirements of increasingly tighter environmental regulations. "Finnair, for example, has been actively involved in the Association of European Airlines' efforts to develop procedures for sorting cabin waste, and new types of aircraft have been equipped with appropriate equipment to facilitate waste sorting. Engine emissions and aircraft noise levels are key criteria when selecting new aircraft," says Technical Services' Quality Engineer Pertti Pitkänen, has worked for many years in Finnair's environmental organisation. ctive dialogue with interest groups has been the foundation of Finnair's successful environmental work. "Competitors, too, constitute a key interest group. Even though competition in the sale of tickets is merciless, the exchange of information between competitors to reduce adverse environmental effects is an active process, as is the comparison of the best practicable procedures," says Pitkänen. Finnair's first environmental report was published in 1997. Since then, the next significant milestone for the regularly published report is happening now, as Finnair proceeds towards the adoption of the GRI (Global Report Initiative) reporting practice, which covers social responsibility as a whole. A Before each flight, the ideal route in terms of fuel consumption is planned, taking weather conditions and air traffic control restrictions into account.
