This includes supporting our communities around the world by transporting essential aid during this global health crisis and making new commitments towards the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in our operations. We are certain, together with our partners and customers, we will continue to positively contribute to the environment and communities, and also connect Hong Kong to the world in sustainable ways as recovery accelerates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some highlights from the 2021 report include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Helping to deliver vaccinations around the world: We raced against time to develop a dedicated Vaccine Solution to make COVID-19 vaccines available to global communities. In 2021, over 165 million vaccine doses along with other essential medical supplies were delivered to Hong Kong and beyond by our airlines.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Making progress towards carbon neutrality: We became one of the first airlines in Asia to target 10% SAF use by 2030 and have committed to purchasing more than 350 million gallons of SAF beginning from 2024 alongside our oneworld Alliance peers. We also co-founded the Aviation Climate Taskforce, an industry platform through which we will accelerate the development of breakthrough technologies that will help drive the decarbonisation of civil aviation. We also developed Asia\u2019s first major Corporate SAF Programme in 2021, which came to fruition in April this year with the launch of its pilot phase, bringing SAF into Hong Kong International Airport for uplift for the very first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Strong commitment to diversity: We have pledged to increase female representation at senior positions by 25% \u2013 reaching 30% in total \u2013 by 2025. To drive changes, a Diversity and Inclusion (D&amp;I) Steering Committee and a dedicated team were set up in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Full details of our performance and commitment in sustainable development are available in our 2021 Sustainable Development Report, available here.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about Cathay Pacific\u2019s Sustainable Development commitments, please click here.
