Our Responsibilities

Our Commitment to
Sustainability and the Environment

At elfc, we firmly believe that long-term commercial success must go hand in hand with environmental and social sustainability. We recognise that the aviation industry faces significant challenges in reducing its environmental impact, and we are committed to being part of the solution. Our approach is centred on driving meaningful change by investing in the most advanced, fuel-efficient aircraft engine technologies available.

As of March 2025, approximately 75% of elfc’s engine portfolio comprises new-technology engines. These engines offer substantial improvements in fuel efficiency and lower emissions, directly contributing to the aviation sector’s efforts to build a more sustainable future. However, we understand that sustainability is not solely about investing in the latest technology. It also requires responsible stewardship of existing assets throughout their entire lifecycle.

That is why elfc places strong emphasis on the management and recycling of older equipment. Effective end-of-life asset management is a vital part of our strategy to minimise waste, conserve valuable resources, and extend the operational value of aviation components. As the sole owner of our aviation parts subsidiary, inav, we are uniquely positioned to manage engine assets from acquisition to retirement. Through inav, we implement circular economy principles by maximising the reuse and recycling of engine components, thus reducing the environmental footprint of aviation operations.

In addition to our focus on sustainable aviation technology, elfc is also committed to reducing its own operational carbon footprint. We actively work to lower energy consumption across our offices and facilities, prioritise the use of renewable energy sources, and participate in independently verified carbon offsetting schemes. These initiatives ensure transparency and accuracy in our emissions reporting and have enabled elfc to achieve carbon-neutral accreditation.

Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of our business – from investment decisions and operational practices to the management of legacy equipment. By combining cutting-edge technology with responsible asset lifecycle management, elfc is helping to shape a greener, more sustainable future for global aviation.

Governance

At elfc, strong governance is not just a framework, it is a fundamental part of how we operate and make decisions. We believe that good intentions must be matched by robust structures, transparent processes, and ethical leadership to truly deliver long-term value and responsible business practices.

Our corporate governance model is built on the principles of transparency, accountability, and integrity. We have adopted the internationally recognised Three Lines of Defence (3LoD) risk management model, which ensures clear oversight, well-defined roles, and effective risk control throughout the organisation.

The elfc Board of Directors plays a central role in overseeing all aspects of the business. The Board is supported by a number of dedicated committees that advise on specific areas such as risk, compliance, audit, and operational performance. This multi-layered governance structure helps to ensure that strategic decisions are taken responsibly, in line with our corporate values and regulatory obligations.

Compliance is at the heart
of our governance approach.

elfc operates under a comprehensive compliance framework that includes clearly defined policies, constitutional and governing documents, and regular training programmes for all employees on key compliance topics, from data protection and anti-bribery to human rights and regulatory requirements. All internal policies and procedures are reviewed and updated annually to reflect evolving standards, and the company undergoes regular internal and external audits to maintain the highest levels of oversight.

We hold ourselves to strict ethical standards in every market where we operate, demonstrating respect for laws, human rights, and the privacy and security of information. By fostering a culture of honesty, 
responsibility, and continuous improvement, elfc ensures that governance is not just a function, it is a guiding principle embedded into every aspect of our operations.
