Bombardier Publishes Challenger 3500 Business Jet EPD
Bombardier announced in May 2022 that it has published an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the industry’s leading super mid-size business jet, the Challenger 3500 aircraft. Following Bombardier’s recent groundwork on making the Global 7500 aircraft the first business jet ever to receive an EPD, the Challenger 3500 aircraft is the first business jet in the super mid-size segment to have an EPD published.
“Bombardier is the only business aviation manufacturer to hold EPDs, confirming that reducing the industry’s environmental footprint is of the utmost importance to us,” said Michel Ouellette, Executive Vice President, Engineering, Program Management and Bombardier Defense. “We recognize that establishing sustainability requirements at the start of a design phase initiates development of aircraft that support the industry’s carbon reduction goals. Improving the environmental performance of our manufacturing, servicing activities, and products across our value chain to ensure environmental risks and impacts are identified, effectively managed, and reduced is imperative for a sustainable future.”
