Dragonair has been working closely with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) since 2004 on the inflight charity fundraising campaign “Change for Conservation”, to raise awareness of the importance of nature conservation. As of December 2010, nearly HK$8 million has been raised.

The fund is used in northwest Yunnan, China to: create a system of protected areas with the policies and funding necessary to sustain them; to protect vital watershed areas, especially along the Yangtze and Mekong rivers; to alleviate poverty, one of the principal causes of unsustainable natural resource use and biodiversity loss; and to develop sustainable economic alternatives for the people there.

Sustainable Development Report

Our Sustainable Development Report for 2011 details Cathay Pacific Group's impact on the environment and the communities in which we operate, as well as the efforts we are making towards managing those impacts (for example, our Supplier Code of Conduct) . While we cannot include all events and initiatives undertaken during the year, we have endeavored to demonstrate a balanced review of the organisation's most significant activities, together with our strategy for dealing with our economic, social and environmental progress for the year.

We are pleased to announce our achievement of an A+ Global Reporting Initiative grade in this report and we have revamped the environmental and social statistics table to demonstrate compliance with this rating. The report has been independently verified.

We value stakeholders' feedback. Comments on the Report can be made through the Group's Environmental Affairs Department at environment@cathaypacific.com. We encourage your feedback to help us better deliver the information you seek.
