Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

FTAI Aviation Ltd. specializes in the acquisition, leasing, and management of commercial jet engines and aircraft. Its core business does not involve offering lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers or underserved populations. Therefore, all KPIs related to consumer financial products, pricing, fees, inclusion initiatives, debt burden, and financial literacy are not applicable to FTAI's operations. The provided articles primarily discuss allegations of securities fraud, including misclassifying revenue, inflating sales, and depreciating engines not on lease, which led to a class action lawsuit and stock price declines.

These allegations pertain to investor relations and accounting practices, not the provision of fair financial services or economic opportunities to marginalized populations as defined by the value.

Honest & Fair Business

FTAI Aviation faces allegations of securities law violations, including misreporting engine sales and inflating sales figures, as detailed in a class action lawsuit filed in March 2025.

These allegations cover the period from July 2024 to January 2025. While the lawsuit is still pending and no regulatory fines have been levied, the nature of the claims raises concerns about the company's transparency and reporting practices. The company's ESG risk score is 31, with a controversy level of 0.4. However, the lawsuit alleging misreporting weighs more heavily. The presence of assets in Russia also introduces potential risks, requiring increased due diligence and transparency. Given the allegations and potential risks, a conservative score is warranted.

Kind to Animals

FTAI Aviation Ltd. specializes in the acquisition, leasing, and management of commercial jet engines and aircraft. The company's core business model does not involve products requiring cruelty-free certification, animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, animal husbandry, or animal agriculture.

Therefore, all relevant KPIs are scored as N/A. No evidence was found regarding wildlife conservation impact or any engagement in animal welfare policy.

No War, No Weapons

FTAI Aviation states it has complied and will continue to comply with all applicable sanctions, including U.S. Treasury sanctions regulations, and explicitly states it will not sell, transfer, or lease aircraft to any person or entity subject to U.S., EU, or UK sanctions, or those on blocked persons lists.

The company terminated all lease agreements with Russian airlines, recognizing a $47.1 million provision for credit losses in 2022. However, eight aircraft and seventeen engines were still located in Russia as of June 30, 2025, from these terminated leases. FTAI Aviation reported $150,000 in total lobbying expenditures for 2025, but the articles do not specify the nature of this lobbying in relation to arms control. The company's due diligence measures for conflict minerals (from a Fastenal report, not FTAI's direct operations) are designed to conform with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. FTAI Aviation monitors the security of its remaining assets in the Russia/Ukraine region, but there is no evidence of a formal annual review process for partners with conflict-related risks beyond this monitoring.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

FTAI Aviation has partnered with Clean Planet Energy to develop ecoPlants in North America, with the first plant planned to initially process 20,000 tonnes per annum of non-recyclable waste plastics.

This joint venture aims to produce ultra-clean fuels, oils, and circular-naphtha for new plastics, with a stated goal to process over one million tonnes of non-recyclable waste plastics annually. Additionally, FTAI has a joint initiative with AAR focusing on recycling serviceable material from CFM56-5B and -7B engine partnerships. The company has not reported any waste disposal violations in the past three years.
