- Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)(1), which assess the full environmental footprint of the aircraft throughout its lifecycle, are an integral part of Bombardier’s sustainability strategy
- The Global 8000 joins Bombardier’s Challenger 650, Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500 and Global 7500 as the only business jets in the world to carry an EPD(1)(2) – a key aspect of Bombardier’s leadership in lifecycle assessment and disclosure
- The Global 8000 EPD further illustrates the steadfast commitment, pride and investment Bombardier is making to ensure it is fully transparent about our product lifecycle while continuing to innovate and identify opportunities for improvement across the value chain
MONTREAL, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced that the world’s fastest civilian aircraft, the Global 8000 jet has obtained its Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), joining several other Bombardier aircraft already with EPDs, including the Challenger 650, Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500, and Global 7500 aircraft (1).
With this important designation, Bombardier becomes the only business jet manufacturer to ever disclose the scientifically-analyzed environmental impact of its in-production aircraft via the publication of EPDs (2). All of Bombardier’s business jets EPDs are publicly available on the company’s website and display, amongst other information, the aircraft CO2 emissions generated at each of the steps of the value chain: from raw material extraction until aircraft end-of-life.
“This is an important milestone for Global 8000, as EPDs transparently disclose the environmental impact they generate. The development of EPDs is in line with Bombardier’s objective to advance sustainable business aviation by making environmentally responsible choices in the full life cycle of aircraft design, from sourcing raw materials right up to assembly and operations. For us, it’s all about continuous improvement in every stage of aircraft development,” said Stephen McCullough, Executive Vice President, Engineering, Product Development and Bombardier Defense. “From its recent speed records, to its stellar performance during demonstration flights at the Farnborough International Airshow, this is yet another important milestone for this incredible aircraft. The Global 8000 offers so much promise for both our civil and defense customers in region due to its incredible performance attributes and mission flexibility.”
At Bombardier, integrating environmental sustainability into the product development function is a fundamental aspect of the process to design state-of-the-art aircraft, and is a core value. Applying a complete life cycle perspective to aircraft design is central to a product’s responsibility strategy.
As the fastest civil aircraft in the skies with a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 NM(3), the Global 8000 aircraft can enable passengers to fly faster and farther than ever before. With its long-range capabilities, low cabin altitude and exceptionally smooth ride and agile, takeoff and landing performance capabilities, it’s the ideal platform to support customers for the duration of their mission.
