OREANDA-NEWS. September 09, 2013. Air Canada has released Citizens of the World, its second corporate sustainability report.  The document evaluates Air Canada's performance during 2012 in four key areas of sustainability: safety, the environment, the well-being of employees, and the company's community involvement.

Air Canada's 2012 corporate sustainability report is available at www.aircanada.com/csr.  The report is framed around the findings of an extensive stakeholder survey undertaken to identify areas of most concern with respect to sustainability. Highlights of the 2012 report include:

completion of our biennial IATA Operational Safety Audit with a result of "no findings";
operating two biofuel flights and taking steps to save an estimated 54 million litres of fuel during the year;

introducing an internal portal, HR Connex, to make human resources programs and policies more accessible and easier to use for Air Canada's 27,000 employees;

creating the Air Canada Foundation to support charitable causes within communities in the form of in-kind donations and cash.
