As we’ve exposed last week, CISL is facilitating the genocide and occupation in Palestine by laundering the reputation of companies involved in selling arms to israel:
- They have produced a report about the “extensive sustainability improvements” at a Rolls-Royce’s factory that manufactures lifting parts for the F35 fighter jet, extensively used by the IDF.
- One of their center, the Aviation Impact Accelerator, has Boeing as a major partner, which helps Boeing engineer new planes. The same Boeing that just sold 2 air tankers to israel, extending the range of IDF’s fighter jets.
More info on our detailed post The Receipts: CISL and Arms.
What you can do
- Give them a bad reputation. CISL’s business is to sell reputation to companies, so hurting their reputation directly impact their capacity to greenwash genocide. This can take the form of badly rating them on Google Maps, Yelp, LinkedIn, wherever you can spread the word of their complicity.
- Send an email asking them to stop their complicity. Collective pressure is something we have to build and demonstrate. Send them an email to ask for them to cut ties with Boeing and Rolls-Royce. See email addresses and email template below.
- Share our call! Send this page to your friends or people you think could influence them. Some suggested materials are below. You can also follow us on Instagram.

Dear CISL,
I am writing regarding your arms partnerships. I notice that both Rolls-Royce and Boeing are listed under “contributors and funders” on the website of your Aviation Impact Accelerator project. Both companies are extensively complicit in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
In the past month, Boeing have agreed to sell two aircraft tankers to israel to (in the words of an israeli official) “strengthen the military’s long-range strategic capabilities, enabling it to operate farther afield with greater force and with increased scope”. In the present context, the implication is clear: Boeing’s aircraft will once again be used for the displacement and mass murder of Palestinians. Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce is involved in the manufacture of F-35 jets used by israel. I note that their Bristol factory, where F-35 LiftSystem parts are made, is featured as a “case study” in one of your reports.
You have recently made changes to your website, removing references to fossil fuel companies: I can only assume this is reflective of a moral reckoning within CISL regarding corporate partnerships. When will this be extended to the arms industry? There is no “sustainable” genocide, occupation or war.
Best wishes,

STOP SUSTAINING GENOCIDE: ONLINE ACTIONS
Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership has partnerships with the genocidal arms companies Boeing and Rolls-Royce. Just this month, Boeing sold israel two tankers to help the IOF “operate farther afield with greater force and with increased scope”. Meanwhile, CISL offers Rolls-Royce’s Bristol factory, where F-35 jet parts are made, as an example of “sustainable” aviation manufacture.
We are calling EVERYONE to take some simple and easy actions online this week: let’s get the pressure on CISL to end these murderous partnerships.
1. Drop an email to CISL’s management (you can find an example here: https://orca4el.com/2025-08-email-cisl/)2. Give them a bad review on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SZKZdUTF1MqCTUQx6
3. Spread the news: share this insta post and forward this message & graphics anywhere people might be interested!
