Europe’s fastest-growing carrier Wizz Air has launched its new, and first-of-its-kind Wizz Sustainability Ambassador programme as part of its long-term sustainability initiatives.

Starting from this month until May 2024, Wizz Sustainability Ambassadors will support local projects –from recycling to charity initiatives at the airline’s bases and offices to promote eco-friendly habits and share sustainability insights with colleagues.

As part of this programme, the environmentally sustainable airline has put together more than 7,000 Wizz Air cabin crew and office employees, and 24 ‘Sustainability Ambassadors’, representing 22 bases and two offices across Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Malta, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, the UAE and the UK.

Wizz Air’s Corporate & ESG Officer, Yvonne Moynihan and the sustainability team will select the most impactful project championed by the ambassadors.

“We are thrilled to be able to provide our colleagues with an opportunity to immerse themselves in sustainability projects that make a difference," noted Moynihan.

“The Sustainability Ambassadors will play vital role in promoting awareness and fostering positive change regarding environmental and social sustainability issues across Wizz Air’s network. Our aircraft are already operating with the lowest carbon intensity in the industry, and we believe that by participating in local initiatives at our bases and offices will allow Wizz team to go even further in reducing our environmental footprint and strengthening sustainability as one of the five Wizz values, embedded in everything we do," he added.–TradeArabia News Service
