Each year, Air Mauritius supports charitable institutions in the form of rebated tickets, fund raising prizes, and community based promotional activities. In addition to these numerous activities, Air Mauritius makes donations to selected charitable institutions. Donations are not made to any political party or organisation.

The company has recently signed an agreement with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) in support of the conservation projects of the endemic flora and fauna of Mauritius.

In joining forces with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, Air Mauritius shows its commitment to protect the precious natural heritage of our island. This exclusive partnership brings hope to future successful conservation projects.

The main initiatives included in the programme are:

The one take-off /one tree initiative which involves planting one endemic tree for each take-off of an Air Mauritius aircraft from Mauritius. Under this project, 6,000 endemic trees will be planted each year in Mauritius and Rodrigues to help restore natural habitats and create local awareness.

Air Mauritius will actively support the two endemic Rodriguan birds: The Rodrigues warbler (Acrocephalus rodericanus) & the Rodrigues fody (Foudia flavicans).

Air Mauritius shall use the “Paille en Queue"(Red Tailed Tropic Bird) image in its marketing activities for raising awareness on the protection of this rare species and its natural habitat.

All these initiatives, though symbolic, depict the new mindset within the airline regarding the protection of the environment. They fit well within IATA’s (International Air Transport Association) vision for the air transport industry to achieve carbon neutral growth in the medium-term, on the way to a carbon emission free future, and with ICAO’s (International Civil Aviation Organisation) commitment for aggressive action to mitigate the impact of aircraft CO2 emissions. In this context, Air Mauritius embraces IATA's Declaration on Commitment of Action on Climate Change signed by organisations across the air transport industry, and supports the sensitisation campaign.
