Environmental, Social
& Governance
Driving sustainable aviation through innovative training and technology. Our commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance shapes every decision we make.
Building a Sustainable Future for Aviation
Founded in 2017, our company has made significant strides in advancing flight simulation technology and establishing a strong presence in the aviation industry. Through our proprietary iFITS ecosystem and QATE analytics engine, we have significantly enhanced our system capabilities and training outcomes.
Our commitment to sustainable practices is driven by the principles of the circular economy, which shape how we design and develop our products with a focus on resource efficiency and sustainability. By reducing the need for actual flight hours, our simulators contribute to lowering carbon emissions, supporting the broader goal of minimising the environmental impact of aviation training.
Around 9 million people are expected to undergo similar training over the next 20 years, and we are dedicated to meeting this growing demand with innovative, high-quality simulation solutions that contribute to a safer and more sustainable future for the aviation industry.
Reducing Aviation's
Carbon Footprint
The aviation sector accounts for 2.8% of global CO₂ emissions. Aerosystec provides an integrated flight intelligence training solution that addresses environmental concerns by reducing the carbon footprint associated with training. Conventionally, training an ATPL student pilot produces 27.74 tonnes of carbon emissions — our simulators can offset up to 92.8% of that footprint.
696.6 Hours of Simulated Training
Using five in-house-built simulators, Aerosystec reduced approximately 34 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. With over 100 simulators across various regions, this data represents only the initial phase of assessing sustainability capabilities.
Carbon Emission Reduction
Energy-efficient machinery at HK manufacturing facility. Malaysian office holds Green Building Index Gold certification. Zero non-recyclable plastics policy with digital-first documentation.
Energy Efficiency
Simulators consume a fraction of the energy compared to traditional flight training. Integrating renewable energy sources and eco-friendly materials into manufacturing.
Noise Reduction
Flight simulators provide a controlled, quiet environment — eliminating noise pollution from conventional flight operations that disrupts communities.
Water Management
Advanced water recycling systems at production site. Total consumption of 56.25 m³/year with low-flow fixtures and automated systems.
Circular Economy
Products engineered for longevity and ease of repair. 0.24 tonnes recycled input from 0.76 tonnes total. Remanufacturing old simulators into new models.
Biodiversity Preservation
Environmental impact assessments before projects. Collaborating with environmental organisations on reforestation. Exploring Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Integrity, Transparency & Accountability
We uphold robust corporate governance frameworks, maintain high standards of integrity, and foster a culture of compliance and ethical behaviour to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders and promote long-term sustainable value creation.
Transparency & Accountability
Active stakeholder engagement through surveys, focus groups, town halls, and advisory committees. Comprehensive reporting including financial statements, sustainability reports, and academic performance reports.
Ethical Standards & Compliance
Compliance with FAA, ICAO, and university educational standards. Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy aligned with Hong Kong's Prevention of Bribery Ordinance. Know Your Partner Policy for due diligence.
Risk Management
Comprehensive training programs for identifying, assessing, and managing business and ESG-related risks. Integration of ethical conduct, corporate governance, and sustainability practices into risk management.
Identifying What Matters Most
Our materiality matrix maps 17 ESG topics based on their significance to our business impacts and their influence on stakeholder decisions. The top priorities include product quality & safety, carbon emission reduction, and ethical governance.
Blue dots represent governance/economy topics, gold dots represent environment topics, and green dots represent social topics.
Circular Economy & Value Creation
We are committed to leveraging our strong competitive position to achieve rapid growth delivering high margins and profitability, while pioneering aviation sustainability through system upgrades and circular economy principles.
