THE SITUATION
Atlas Air Worldwide’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility dates to its founding in 1992. However, when Atlas wanted to take the next step to formalize its sustainability strategy and disclose its progress, the company needed an experienced partner it could rely on to help bring this goal to fruition.
THE STRATEGY & SOLUTION
Atlas, an air cargo company, began working with Dix & Eaton in 2019 to help formulate the company’s initial ESG strategy, produce its first report and communicate subsequent messaging around its efforts. Since publishing its inaugural ESG report in 2019, Atlas and Dix & Eaton have worked together to produce reports for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, in addition to ongoing communications for key audiences. In 2024, Dix & Eaton also helped Atlas enhance the user experience, content and design of the Sustainability section of the corporate website.
THE RESULTS
Dix & Eaton’s support has helped Atlas:
- Mature its reporting, including a transition from ESG to sustainability, an enhanced focus on priority topics and increasing alignment with reporting frameworks
- Introduce and refine the company’s carbon emissions reduction target and strategy for achieving this target
- Build and enhance its sustainability presence on the company’s website
- Develop social media and supplemental summary documents and narratives to assist teams in communicating important sustainability milestones and progress
- Evolve its reporting to reflect its transition from a public company to a private equity-owned firm
