GE Aerospace 2023 Industry Survey
Building a More Sustainable Future of Flight

“Nothing big, nothing bold, nothing important ever happens without starting with the end in mind… whether it be SAF, whether it be technologies like RISE, I think the industry is going to work hard to do the best we can between now and 2050.”
Two years since the aviation industry set an ambitious goal* of achieving net zero by 2050, GE Aerospace commissioned a global survey to examine the progress. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, shows broad industry alignment on and investment in sustainability but recognizes that accelerated support is needed to meet the challenge.
A total of 325 aviation decision makers in six countries participated in the survey in May 2023, representing the U.S., U.K., China, India, UAE and France. 76% of respondents believing sustainability has fundamentally changed the way the industry operates and a majority of those with sustainability strategies in place indicate that their company sustainability investments will grow or remain steady, even amid rising inflation and risk of recession.

* In October 2021, members of the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), including GE Aerospace, adopted a long-term climate goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, confirming the aviation industry’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions in support of the Paris Agreement.
