Wisk recently appointed Daniela Schaff as the company’s new Head of Sustainability. In this newly created position, Daniela will oversee Wisk’s global sustainability efforts and the implementation of a comprehensive sustainability strategy. This strategy will include the creation of a circular supply chain, implementing steps that further reduce the company’s carbon footprint, and developing processes that foster sustainable design decisions.

“We are excited to have Daniela take on this new role,” said Gary Gysin, CEO of Wisk. “She has been instrumental in advancing Wisk’s sustainability efforts prior to officially becoming our new Head of Sustainability. Her passion and expertise in sustainability will continue to be a critical element in ensuring that our mission to bring everyday flight to everyone is safe for both people and the environment.”

In December, Wisk New Zealand achieved Net Carbon Zero certification through Toit?, a leading provider of carbon and environmental programs.

Additionally, the company’s carbon footprint, emissions reductions, and offsets have been independently verified and meet or exceed international standards and best practices, including ISO 14064 Carbon Footprint Certification. This initial certification allows Wisk to have a reliable benchmark to set future actionable goals to reduce emissions.
