TAG Aviation Asia is also a participant of the CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) program. This program is designed to lower and control carbon emissions in the international aviation field, in the hopes of reducing aviation’s impact on climate change.
TAG’s Internal Green Steps
TAG Aviation supports WaterAid
WaterAid exists to ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene services. Access to water, sanitation and hygiene is a basic human right, yet one in ten people worldwide do not have a clean water source close to home, one in five do not have a decent toilet and nearly one third are unable to wash their hands with soap at home.
It will take a monumental shift in ambition and approach to ensure that everyone everywhere has access to these basic resources and we hope to be part of that shift.
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance.
TAG wanted to work with a reputable charity with initiatives around the world which also fits within theme of sustainability.
WaterAid Summary
We know that it is possible for everyone, everywhere to have clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene that last, and flexible funding from supporters like TAG Aviation will help us achieve that.
To strengthen the ‘WASH system’ (the components that contribute towards the achievement of inclusive, sustainable and universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services) in complex contexts, we need committed and well-trained staff with enough time and the right skills. Unrestricted donations allow us to work more closely with communities and partners over the long-term. This increases the likelihood that WASH services are sustained, through community and government ownership.
This flexibility also allows us to adapt and respond as circumstances change, whether that be conflicts erupting, the disruption of supply chains or climate-related events. Whilst we are not a humanitarian agency, when a WASH-related emergency occurs in a location where we work, we will support communities, governments and partner organisations to respond and rebuild.
Flexible funding also allows us to test new approaches, gain insight and gather evidence, to continually improve the quality our work. We believe that it’s only with such innovation and agility that the WASH crisis will be solved. As an example, last year in Malawi we developed a highly innovative training package on infection prevention and control and the vital role that WASH plays in this. We worked with creative specialists to ensure the training was engaging and made it shareable via WhatsApp and social media to increase accessibility and usage. Having secured government buy-in, this year flexible funding will support us to scale up this initiative. All health workers in Malawi, from cleaners to doctors, will have access to this training through the national training structure and we will also expand this work to Mozambique.
WaterAid's Strategy:
TAG Aviation’s unrestricted donation not only supports WaterAid’s mission to provide access to the basic human right of water, sanitation and hygiene services, but also the systems that underpin those services, making sure people have running water and working toilets for years to come. This type of funding is the backbone of WaterAid’s work. Without it, the impact we have achieved in the past four decades would not have been possible.
WaterAid have expressed their sincere thanks to TAG Aviation for their support. Contributing unrestricted funding allows WaterAid to focus on long-term programming, pilot new and innovative delivery models, and focus their efforts where the need is greatest to ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to clean water and sanitation.
