With the recent completion of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for the Global 5500 and 6500 ultra-long-range jets, Bombardier has established a goal to have EPDs for all of its in-production aircraft by 2025 as it pushes for transparency and prepares for future models. Bombardier (Booth K40, Static AD_09) announced receipt of the Global 5500 and 6500 EPDs earlier this month, joining those already completed for the Global 7500 and Challenger 3500—the only other business jets to have them.

The EPDs detail information about an aircraft’s environmental footprint throughout its life cycle—from design to end-of-life—and are the culmination of more than a decade of development of key metrics that can be standardized through data gathering, validation, and analysis.
