Volaris sustainability: model, reports and more

Corporate Sustainability Program

We have assumed Sustainability as part of our business strategy and, through our Corporate Sustainability Program, we reinforce our commitment to the future of new generations, creating the ideal context for the ultra-low-cost aviation business to continue being an engine of development and a source of employment for many years to come.

This program is made up of three approaches: Economic and Corporate Governance Focus, Planet Care Focus and People Care Focus.

Volaris Value Creation Model

The Volaris Value Creation Model brings together the Corporate Sustainability Program and the identification of our stakeholders, along with the economic, social and environmental value that we create for each of them.

Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been a fundamental guide in rethinking our sustainability strategy. The Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) developed a document (2017), through which it identified the importance of air transport, connectivity and mobility of people for the fulfillment of the goals established by the UN for Sustainable Development in the next 15 years. Based on this document, we identify convergences between Volaris actions, programs and projects that contribute to the achievement of goals related to 11 of the SDGs.

Volaris is proud to be part of the Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Index.

This index measures the performance of best-in-class companies who are members of the S&P MILA Pacific Alliance Composite and meet certain sustainability requirements better than their peers within a given industry.
