/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - AMR, the parent company of American Airlines and its regional affiliate, American Eagle Airlines, today released its second annual Corporate Responsibility Report (CRR), building on last year's report -- the first triple-bottom-line (economic, ecological, and social responsibility) report issued by a U.S.-based passenger airline.
American's 2009 CRR presents a summary of the company's performance related to its customers, employees, the environment, and the communities American serves. The report meets the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) application level C. GRI produces one of the world's most prevalent standards for sustainability - also known as ecological footprint - reporting.
"Our annual Corporate Responsibility Report gives us an opportunity to show our various constituents that, not only are we aware of our responsibilities as a global corporate citizen, but we're also taking them seriously and striving to meet expectations," said David Campbell, Vice President - Safety, Security & Environmental for American Airlines. "We believe our reporting process is one of continuous improvement, building on the past year and looking toward the future."
For the first time this year, the CRR is formatted as a Web-based publication rather than a print-formatted publication made available online. The report can be found under the "About Us" section of AA.com and is interactive and easy to navigate. Customers, the environment, employees, and our communities are addressed in separate navigable sections with case studies and highlights.
Highlights of the report include:
Customers
Environment
Employees
Community
