ROLLS-ROYCE: BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR GLOBAL DEFENCE OPERATIONS

Rolls-Royce Defence has always been primarily focused on serving its customers by innovating and delivering power and propulsion solutions to protect society. Rolls-Royce Defence now aims to build a sustainable future for global defence operations.

In recent years, Rolls-Royce Defence has begun striving for sustainability in all that it does, inspiring future innovation to help protect the years that will follow. The company's aim is for Sustainability to become business-as-usual in the way it works, much the same as it currently considers cost and safety implications when making decisions.

Rolls-Royce Defence has recently appointed Andrew Eady, to lead Sustainability across the business, and this role includes a particular focus on next-generation capability developments associated with the UK’s Tempest programme and the wider Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

As sustainability in the Defence sector can take many forms, Andrew will be exploring many options; from reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption to incorporating environmentally-friendly materials and processes in the company's operations.
