LEVERAGING WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE
NetJets views this multi-pronged climate initiative as an important first step in a long-term effort to ensure that we are on the forefront on climate issues and on the environment more broadly. We intend to continuously seek ways to reduce our environmental impact and apply best-in-class environmental management practices.
To help us at every step along the way, we assembled environmental advisory boards in both the U.S. and Europe comprised of recognized leaders from academia, government service, business, and environmental organizations. Below are short biographies of the five members of our U.S. Environmental Advisory Board.
