Bombardier announced on July 21, 2026, that its Global 8000 aircraft has obtained an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), reinforcing its position as the only business jet manufacturer to disclose the scientifically-analyzed environmental impact of its in-production fleet. The Global 8000, recognized as the world’s fastest civilian aircraft with a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 NM, now joins the Challenger 650, Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500, and Global 7500 as the only business jets to carry an EPD.

The EPD for the Global 8000 is a Type III declaration compliant with ISO 14025 and registered with the International EPD System. It provides transparent environmental information about the product’s lifecycle, including CO2 emissions, noise, water consumption, and other key impact indicators. Other Bombardier aircraft hold Type II declarations under ISO 14021, following ISO 14044:2006 for science-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Stephen McCullough, Executive Vice President, Engineering, Product Development and Bombardier Defense, emphasized the significance of this milestone. He stated that the development of EPDs aligns with Bombardier’s objective to advance sustainable business aviation by making environmentally responsible choices throughout the aircraft's lifecycle, from sourcing raw materials to assembly and operations.

The Global 8000's EPD is publicly available on Bombardier’s website, detailing the environmental impact at each stage of the value chain. This initiative underscores Bombardier’s commitment to integrating environmental sustainability into product development, ensuring transparency and continuous improvement in aircraft design.
