Sustainability: Our areas of intervention
“To shape the future remains important to me. Don’t just accept what is. Think, and build it better.”
Armin Truger, CEO of PRO SKY
Travel Solutions: 1. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
As the first true alternative to fossil jet fuels, SAF is known for reducing up to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. It can be produced from biomass (cooking and plant oils, food waste, agricultural residues, etc) or wind and solar power. It is already commercially available, but the production capacity is not enough for global demand. EU targets are to enforce a minimum share of SAF at EU airports, starting with 2% in 2025 and reaching 70% in 2050. With PRO SKY, you can decide whether to use SAF in an aircraft or to invest in its production. Either way, you will help to reduce CO2 impact and support the reduction of SAF’s cost while increasing its availability.
2. Intermodality
Despite our best efforts in the aviation industry, we are aware that flying with a group (with current available technology) is not always the best solution, especially when travelling short distances in which train routes are available. We do not face this alternative as an opponent. Instead, we combine the best air and rail travel options so we can find the best solution for you and for the planet.
3. Responsible Materials & Food
Because travelling is about a complete experience, we provide airport and inflight services – these range from branded check-in gate and aircraft customisation to catering with special food and beverages. Depending on the route and airline of your choice, we can help you find goods that are sourced from responsible and/or local suppliers, while minimising waste.
4. Compensation
While we strive to reduce our emissions as much as possible, there are still emissions which we cannot avoid. We can compensate those emissions by supporting strictly monitored carbon offset projects and the development of new technologies.
5. Awareness & Clients Actions
We are all trying our best, including you. And experience tells us that our clients value data and information more than anything. PRO SKY can help your business ensure transparency and accountability, whether you need help communicating results to your own customers and employees or your sustainability strategy requires you to keep a record of your operations and their impact.
Beyond Business: Community Projects
Businesses can have a great impact on their surrounding communities, for better or for worse. At PRO SKY we continue to choose “for the better”. Find out more about our community projects:
In cooperation with Common Goal (formerly known as Streetfootballworld), PRO SKY brought disadvantaged young people to Festival 16 in Lyon so they could develop new skills and use their knowledge to promote social change in their local communities.
At PRO SKY, we collaborated with Common Goal again for Football3 Festival 17 by flying the young participants and covering most of the flights costs.
In 2018, PRO SKY began supplying fresh fruits from Fruitful Office to its employees in Cologne. In exchange, Fruitful Office plants trees in Malawi with the help of Ripple Africa.
PRO SKY supported Festival 19 in cooperation with Common Goal. Additionally, we supported AWO, a welfare association that supports children and young people.
At PRO SKY, we collaborated with AC Mühlheim 1892 E.V. to improve opportunities for disadvantaged young people in the district.
PRO SKY has resumed its collaboration with Fruitful Office and Ripple Africa after a pause due to the COVID pandemic and continues its sponsorship with AC Mühlheim.

It makes a big difference when everyone gets involved, even in the smallest things. That is why we strive to reflect our social and environmental beliefs throughout the PRO SKY organisation, including its premises.
