Create, Grow, Sustain: Celebrating Success Innovation and technology are at the heart of what we do at Boeing, and they are fundamental to improving environmental performance — whether it’s through our satellites monitoring the global climate, our factories operating more responsibly or our ongoing research to improve the efficiency of flight.
BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE 2014 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

As Boeing approaches its 100th anniversary, we are building and developing the world’s most modern and fuel-efficient fleet of airplanes. Over the course of a few short years, we will have introduced the 787 Dreamliner, 737 MAX, 747-8 and 777X — airplanes that fly passengers farther, in more comfort and with significantly reduced emissions than the airplanes they replace. As a company, we understand that environmental responsibility is crucial to our long-term success and second century in business. We have long been an established industry leader in advancing the development of sustainable biofuels for aviation, and we are constantly researching new, innovative technologies — including advanced, lightweight materials and aerodynamics; sustainable new fuel sources; and hybrid, solar and electric-powered aircraft — to create cleaner modes of flight for decades to come. For example, we’re currently flying the experimental Phantom Eye, a liquid hydrogen-powered unmanned aircraft that produces only water as a byproduct. By developing technology innovations that dramatically improve fuel efficiency, we have increased revenues and earnings by approximately 35 percent over the past four years and secured a backlog of customer orders valued at nearly half a trillion dollars. As we embark on this period of steady business growth, we are committing to zero growth in greenhouse gas emissions, water use, hazardous-waste generation and solid waste to landfills.
Innovation and technology are at the heart of what we do at Boeing, and they are fundamental to improving environmental performance.
While exploring new ways to improve the environmental performance of the aerospace industry, we know that many of our most important environmental projects are those that do not fly. Each day, thousands of Boeing employees are preserving habitats, mentoring the next generation of innovators to create new technologies, and finding ways to reduce waste and make processes more efficient. Around the globe and around the clock, Boeing people are making exciting contributions to sustainable growth and a better future for our industry, our customers and our communities. Together, we aspire to lead the way to building a cleaner, better tomorrow.
