Joby's First Environmental, Social, and Governance Report Provides a Glimpse at Corporate Priorities
The company appears to be the first of the eVTOL aircraft pioneers to grade its performance in areas such as environmental accountability.

Joby Aviation has released an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report for 2022. The publication is a first for the California-based company and appears to be the first of its kind by an eVTOL aircraft developer.

ESG reports are increasingly de rigueur for public companies looking to define and establish their credentials for corporate responsibility beyond what laws require. The first main section is on safety and covers actions you would largely expect from any company involved in such safety-critical activities as building and operating aircraft. If anything, the sections of the report dealing with environmental sustainability and people/community seem more revealing in terms of Joby’s core beliefs and commitments to act progressively as well as responsibly.
