Delta Continues Push for Sustainability

Delta Air Lines is building off its success. The Atlanta-based carrier is a leader in sustainability and made public its 2022 environmental report, which it hopes to build on.

“As our business soared toward recovery in 2022, we never lost sight of our goals to support the communities where we live, work and serve,” said CEO Ed Bastian, in a press release. “Our global team of more than 90,000 rose to the occasion, reconnecting millions with their loved ones while making great progress in our pursuit of a more sustainable and equitable world.”

Despite the pandemic, Delta said it always concentrated on safety first. Part of its 2022 plans that it hopes to continue include:

— Doubling down on Delta’s Just Culture that uses collaboration, observations and conversations to investigate safety incidents to prevent them in the future.

— Launching the Ground Safety Advocate program, which embeds advocates across the operation to teach safety by showing rather than telling. This helped new employees in practicing their peer-to-peer communication skills about safety concerns to promote best safety practices.

— Investing in equipment, technology and training for navigating common hazards.
