18 The Environment Conservation and Biodiversity Change for Conservation Since 2004, Dragonair has partnered with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) on its inflight charity campaign Change for Conservation. Since 2004, this campaign has raised HK$7 million. Over the years, generous donations from our passengers have supported a number of conservation initiatives in Mainland China, including the protection of vital watershed areas and developing sustainable fuel alternatives for local residents in Yunnan. For the first time in 2008, a group of staff accompanied by members of the media went on a trip to the project sites in Lijiang, China and witnessed how contributions benefit nature conservation. Asia Miles Eco-Activities The second annual Asia Miles Eco-Action Asia Family Walk and the associated Eco- Adventure Race saw participation from a range of our staff and their families. Such activities promote awareness of our environment and the importance of biodiversity and conservation, and helped to collect over HK$100,000. Funds were Progress against 2008 action Further explore biodiversity and conservation opportunities outside of Hong Kong Actively support the MSC and consider how we can use MSC certified products in our inflight meals distributed between three major ecoinstitutions in Hong Kong: The Ocean Park Conservation Fund, the Hong Kong Conservation Dolphin Society and the Action Asia Foundation. International Wilderness Experience Cathay Pacific’s wilderness adventure programme to Africa gives young students the opportunity to participate in a unique ecological experience increasing their awareness of a different culture and its local environment. In 2008, 38 students aged between 16 and 18 from nine cities participated in a seven-day experience themed “Amanzi World of South Africa”. The programme highlights the importance of conservation and brings with it an understanding of the natural environment. So far, about 593 students have benefited from the programme since its launch in 1994. Sustainable Sourcing of Inflight Food Cathay Pacific recognises the importance of sourcing our inflight food from sustainable sources. In the past year we reviewed standards such as the Marine Stewardship 4 ongoing Agenda for 2009 Council (MSC)’s Certification on Sustainable Seafood and began a process of assessing the sourcing of our seafood. We commit to work with our suppliers and relevant organisations to formalise our approach to sustainable sourcing.
