Bristow Group's annual sustainability report has highlighted significant achievements in advanced air mobility (AAM), safety performance, environmental stewardship, governance and community engagement.

“Sustainability is part of how we operate every day, including how we manage risk, support our people, serve customers and position the company for the future,” says Bristow president and CEO Chris Bradshaw. “In 2025, that work was especially evident in our advanced air mobility achievements, where we applied our safety culture and operational discipline to emerging aviation technologies, while continuing to deliver strong performance across SAR, environmental management, governance and community engagement.”

Safety remains Bristow's number one core value and the foundation of its business. In 2025, the company reduced lost workdays by 13 per cent compared with the prior year, reflecting the discipline, training and culture behind its Target Zero commitment. Bristow's global SAR operations further underscored its mission-driven impact, with teams completing 4,416 missions, logging 15,861 operating hours and assisting or rescuing 784 people worldwide.

One of the report's leading highlights is Bristow's growing role in advanced air mobility. In Norway, the company completed a first-of-its-kind flight campaign with Beta Technologies' all-electric eCTOL aircraft in the International Test Arena for Zero- and Low-Emission Aviation, conducting 103 flights totalling more than 7,000 nautical miles. The campaign also included the qualification of Bristow's first AAM pilot and engineer. The company further expanded its position in this market through partnerships and early delivery positions for 12 aircraft, including a pre-delivery payment agreement with Electra that secures the first delivery slot for Electra's EL9 ultra short hybrid-electric aircraft, subject to aircraft certification. These efforts support Bristow's long-term strategy to safely commercialise next-generation aviation solutions.

“Our flight campaign with Beta Technologies demonstrates how Bristow is applying its operational discipline and safety-first culture to emerging aviation technologies,” continues Bradshaw. “Completing more than 100 electric aircraft flights across thousands of nautical miles moves us closer to commercialising lower-emission aviation solutions while maintaining the reliability and performance critical for eventual aircraft certification. Along with our pre-delivery payment agreement for Electra's EL9 ultra short hybrid-electric aircraft, we have a lot to be excited about.”

On environmental performance, Bristow improved the quality of its emissions data and lowered Scope 1 carbon intensity per flight hour from 1.88 to 1.76. The company also achieved ISO 14001 certification for its Ireland operations during its first full year of operations there.

Bristow also advanced its commitment to ethical business practices by introducing a new supplier code of conduct, enhancing supplier and human rights expectations and supporting company-wide training on the use of AI tools and platforms. These efforts are part of Bristow's broader governance framework and commitment to transparency, accountability and sustainable growth.

Community engagement also remained a priority in 2025. Through the Bristow Uplift programme, the company contributed more than $700,000 to local organisations and initiatives, supporting communities where its employees live and work.

Bristow's 2025 sustainability report aligns with globally recognised frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
