Advancing sustainable aviation

We're supporting the Georgia Institute of Technology’s research on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a cleaner alternative to regular jet fuel. The project studies future demand, technology options, policies and real-world business examples to find practical ways to produce, distribute and use SAF at airports. Our support enhances Georgia Tech’s sustainability programs and gives students hands-on experience with industry data, helping prepare the next generation of sustainability leaders.

Restoring ecosystems

Since 1989, we've worked with the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Education for Nature Program to support reforestation projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Working with local and indigenous communities, this partnership helps improve damaged land, restore the health of rivers and streams and expand forest cover by planting more trees. In 2024 alone, 3,000 volunteers planted over 220,000 trees in eight countries. Our funding also helped WWF provide environmental education and promote sustainable jobs like beekeeping, ecotourism and agroforestry.

Inspiring the next generation

We partner with the Student Conservation Association to provide environmental conservation jobs and volunteer opportunities in the United States’ parks and public lands. In 2024, we sponsored environmental jobs for 20 Atlanta-based students, covering the costs of their pay and supplies. In previous years, we helped the program expand to other cities, including Washington, D.C., New York,Houston and Anchorage. Our partnership offers opportunities for young professionals to gain valuable work experience, earn wages and build skills for lifelong success – all while serving their local communities.
