AIRFRANCE KLM CHALLENGE

How innovative solutions could help building the travel experience of the future – caring and responsible – in Africa?

_
BRIEF

Air France’s global business brings people, economies and cultures together, and drives economic growth and social progress. We assume our responsibilities and take action to reconcile growth with environmental protection, social value and local development at our hubs and destinations. Therefore, we integrate Corporate Social Responsibility in our business and operations.

On the ground as well as in the air, Air France is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its activities by improving its operations and processes, partnering and innovating in the supply chain and by mobilizing its staff and the industry. Regarding biodiversity preservation, Air France signed the Buckingham Palace Declaration in June 2017 to fight against illegal wildlife trade. Africa is a major biodiversity’s reservoir to protect.

Together with our suppliers and partners, Air France aims to take sustainability into account to create memorable experiences for our customers.

In Africa as well as in all our destinations, we support projects that contribute to future generations and local communities, and create new business opportunities.
