Sidley Represents United in Eco-Skies Alliance

Sidley represented United Airlines in the formation of the Eco-Skies Alliance, a first-of-its-kind program that involves leading global corporations working with United to help power flying in a more sustainable way. This innovative program, which consists of more than a dozen leading global corporations, will collectively contribute toward the purchase of approximately 3.4 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) this year, which - with nearly 80% emissions reductions on a lifecycle basis compared to conventional jet fuel - is enough SAF to eliminate approximately 31,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, or enough to fly passengers over 220 million miles.

The Sidley team included Kevin Lewis, Bart Biggers, Amy Lally, Julia Chester, Paul McBride, and Eduardo Marquez Certucha.
