Bombardier : Environmental Product Declaration - Challenger 3500

Challenger 3500

Environmental

Product Declaration

Exceptional by design

As our world becomes evermore interconnected, and as our collective concern for protecting the environment increases, Bombardier knows it is important to provide its stakeholders with information regarding the environmental performance of its products. With this in mind, Bombardier is proud to release the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the Challenger 3500 aircraft. As part of the company's overarching sustainability strategy, Bombardier has committed to communicating the environmental performance of all its aircraft programs through EPDs.

An EPD is a document that provides environmental transparency. It is a globally recognized, standardized and verified way of quantifying and communicating the environmental impact of a product across its life cycle. It is created in accordance with the International Standard ISO 14020, as developed by the International Organization for Standardization. With this EPD, Bombardier is providing its stakeholders with a comprehensive overview of the Challenger 3500 aircraft's environmental footprint throughout its life cycle, marking another key milestone in the transparency of the environmental performance of our new programs. By making environmental information available to our stakeholders, including operators, this EPD also supports the business aviation industry's broader goals to mitigate its impact on climate change.

In addition to offering the ultimate cabin experience, highest reliability, lowest operating costs in its class and exceptional performance capabilities, the Challenger 3500 aircraft was designed according to Bombardier's product innovation life cycle process. This approach embeds environmental considerations from design to end-of-life, and from tip to tail, making sustainability an integral part of how Bombardier innovates.

Sustainability is entrenched throughout Bombardier's business strategy and operations to ensure the longevity of our industry, and to make a positive, meaningful impact along the way. Bombardier wants clean skies for future generations. This document is a part of this vision, and Bombardier is proud to share it with you.

The most sustainably designed business jet in its class

Environmental transparency

The Challenger 3500 business jet is the first super mid-size aircraft with an Environmental Product Declaration which communicates, quantifies and provides transparency on the environmental impact of the product throughout its life cycle.

Industry-first carbon neutral flight test program

The Challenger 3500 aircraft's flight test program was the first in business aviation to be completely carbon neutral.

Sustainable manufacturing

The majority of Bombardier's Canadian manufacturing facilities are powered by hydropower-a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of moving water to produce electricity, thereby reducing the amount of CO2 emissions.

Exceptional comfort, lower environmental footprint

The Challenger 3500 aircraft offers a selection of innovative, high-quality and sustainable materials without compromising style or comfort. Choose from a host of environmentally friendly interior options-including upcycled fabrics, alternative wood options and natural fiber-based materials- to create your own eco-friendly masterpiece.

Fueling the future. Leading the industry

Bombardier's leadership role in the promotion, adoption and scalability of Sustainable Aviation Fuel is helping chart a course toward a greener future. All Bombardier business jets, including the Challenger 3500 aircraft, can safely operate at their highest performance using Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

Optimized flight efficiency = Lower CO2 emissions

Another first in the business aviation industry is the eco app (eWAS Pilot with OptiFlight® from SITA) which allows crews to optimize their flight profiles-maximizing fuel efficiency, lowering CO2 emissions and improving situational awareness for a safer, more efficient and comfortable flight.

Challenger 3500 aircraft configuration

For this Environmental Product Declaration, the Life cycle assessment was performed on a baseline aircraft configuration and the following standard mission assumptions:

• four (4) passengers
• two (2) crew members
• 850 km/h cruise speed (M 0.80)
• NBAA IFR fuel reserves*
• ISA conditions

Customer-specific options are excluded from the consideration of this study.

Aircraft category	Medium**
Configurable cabin zones	2
Cabin volume***	30 m3 (1,060 ft3)

*2.34 litres per functional unit of fuel transported and not considered as burnt during the flight.

**Based on the Business jets PCR (2018:09 v1.03).

***The total accommodation volume includes all pressurized areas accessible to both crew and passengers at all cruise altitudes and without any limitations, with the following boundaries:

• Forward and aft boundaries are respectively the cockpit divider and the rear pressure bulkhead
• Cabin peripheral boundary is the cabin unfinished cross-section, limited to the furnishable area.
