About GreenSkies

GreenSkies is an initiative by Aviation/Aerospace Australia to promote action on sustainability in the aviation, aerospace, and space sectors in Australia. GreenSkies aims to bring together leading organisations to facilitate solution-focused discussions, collaborations, projects, events, and networking opportunities.

To help structure this initiative, relevant key issues identified by A/AA GreenSkies Committee will be used to create a calendar of events. These events will be designed to help Australian institutions, corporate partners, and SMEs within A/AA to create a network for individuals and organisations, connecting with industry peers, inspiring future generations to join the industry, and promoting sustainability in all facets of their careers.

A/AA is proud to have taken a leading role in celebrating and promoting sustainability across far-reaching capabilities and the GreenSkies initiative is designed to help industry work together for a more sustainable future.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE INITIATIVE ARE TO

  • Create a framework for members to network and engage on issues relating to the sustainability and future of aviation, aerospace, and space sectors in Australia
  • Encourage organisations to establish, and individuals to seek out, sustainable career pathways as workforces transform
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and organisations in creating white papers tackling key issues
  • Raise awareness of the opportunities and challenges of sustainability in the aviation, aerospace, and space sectors
  • Provide support and professional development opportunities for those already working in the sector
  • Support small and medium businesses in addressing sustainability challenges within their capabilities
