IAEG 2019 LIFT Newsletter - Issue 2
Two emerging topics that are becoming highly relevant to the aerospace industry are circular economy and sustainable finance, and they will undoubtedly require an industry-wide approach to addressing them. While the trend towards a circular economy may have implications for design and end-of-life management, the latter is just as critical, as classifications of the sustainability of services and activities occurring within the sector will affect the way in which investors chose to channel capital. Recognized experts in these topics addressed IAEG members at the plenary session in Prague in September to provide context to how companies will be affected by these trends, and what they mean for IAEG and the industry as a whole. The ability of member companies to come together to discuss these topics and potential solutions is an illustration of the unique value IAEG can provide.
