Impact Innovations

Impact, listed in Germany, is an independent non-profit association that runs a forum for aviation sustainability. It calls itself a go-to platform for aviation's path to Net Zero.

The group says aviation's move to Net Zero is now a reality. The shift is changing the industry's economics, risk and competition, so older models need to adapt. It argues that success needs a coordinated network across the whole supply chain. That network includes airlines, lessors, finance, decarbonisation technology, infrastructure, policy and science.

Impact says the efforts of different stakeholders are often split and repeated. This puts the industry's Net Zero 2050 target at risk. The association brings together people from across the wider aviation ecosystem who share one goal, which is keeping the industry viable through the transition. It helps stakeholder groups build know-how, share expertise and work together to cut emissions.

Its stated aim is to make aviation's climate transition smoother, faster and smarter for everyone.

The association runs a membership scheme, lists its members and publishes impact reports. It also shares files on its Milestone Concept, press releases, industry reports and articles, videos and a podcast called impactful voices.

Impact holds events and webinars. These include an IMPACT Forum in 2026 and a webinar on the future of electric flying. The association has taken part in Aviation Carbon London in a session on the risks reshaping aviation. It has also been featured in LMA Sustainable Finance Horizons in a piece on measuring what matters in aviation. Its content covers topics such as sustainable aviation fuel versus hydrogen, whether aviation can keep growing and still reach Net Zero, and carbon removals.
