Alton Aviation Consultancy Supports Pledge 1%

NEW YORK (December 3, 2019) — A member of the Pledge 1% corporate philanthropy movement, Alton Aviation Consultancy pledges 1% of its revenue to charitable organizations as well as 1% of its time to good causes in the local communities around the world where it works.

For the third consecutive year, Alton Aviation Consultancy has donated 1% of its revenue to charitable organizations. Alton donated this year to Airlink, a rapid response humanitarian relief organization that sends aircraft to disaster zones, and the MS Society, which provides support for people with Multiple Sclerosis and research into better treatments.

Alton Aviation Consultancy has also worked with a number of other charitable causes in the past year:

  • in New York, Alton’s team volunteered in soup kitchens with the Salvation Army and on an affordable home construction site with Habitat for Humanity;
  • in Japan, Alton’s team volunteered for Earth Day Tokyo; and
  • in Hong Kong, the team volunteered for the Food Angel charity which distributes surplus food from different sectors to underprivileged communities.

Alton Aviation Consultancy, which has offices in New York, Dublin, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Beijing, joined Pledge 1% in 2017, becoming the first company from the aviation and aerospace industry to join the movement.

Says John Mowry, Managing Director, Alton Aviation Consultancy: “We are pleased to continue our support for a movement that promotes companies which integrate giving back as a core value of their business proposition.”

Adam Cowburn, Managing Director, further adds: “The Alton Aviation Consultancy team has supported a number of charities this year and also helped the less fortunate in the communities where we are based.”
