The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is recognizing Clay Lacy Aviation for practicing sustainability in its business operations by certifying the aviation company as a Green Power Partner.
The EPA is recognizing Clay Lacy for sourcing 33% of its energy from renewable resources, including 700,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of wind power and the installation of a 750,000-kWh solar array and 40 electric vehicle chargers at its facilities. Clay Lacy is one of the first companies in the business aviation industry to receive certification under the Green Power Partnership.
“Receiving the EPA’s Green Power Partner Certificate was a key goal of our corporate sustainability strategy and validates the efforts we’ve undertaken to operate more sustainably,” said Scott Cutshall, Senior Vice President of Development and Sustainability for Clay Lacy Aviation, “It complements our carbon neutral facilities rating, as well as carbon offset programs and the ongoing supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) introduced last year at our FBOs to help our clients in achieving their sustainability goals.”
Clay Lacy’s facilities have been carbon neutral since 2019 and it was the first company certified to the National Air Transportation Association’s (NATA) Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses.
It was also the world’s first company to be independently reviewed and rated Facility Green Level by 4AIR, affirming FBO facilities and ground emissions lead industry-level standards and meet carbon neutrality.
Clay Lacy is moving forward with the development of two new FBO and MRO facilities at Oxford-Waterbury Airport (OXC) and John Wayne Airport (SNA) that will incorporate a host of sustainable construction and operational practices to reduce the environmental impact of those facilities.
