Climate | CO2 emissions is the single most pressing issue for any airline, and we need to take actions to promote achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. For the mid-term, our target is to reduce our carbon emissions intensity (CO2e/RTK) by 34.5% by 2033 from a 2023 baseline. The target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are committed to UN’s SDG #13, to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. | CO2/Revenue ton kilometer Usage of SAF % Fuel Efficiency Index |
Biodiversity | The importance of nature’s biodiversity on the socioeconomic wealth is not very well acknowledged. We need to increase the knowledge about the importance of biodiversity. The value of natural capital should be part of our economic thinking. We support UN’s SDG #15, by having committed to fight against Illegal Wildlife Traffic (Buckingham palace declaration). We take into consideration the complete sustainability criteria of SAF while incorporating our SAF roadmap in use. | Number of IWT cases |
Circular Economy | Half of total global greenhouse gas emissions and more than 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress come from resource extraction and processing. Transition towards circular and green economics need to start from planning phase. We are committed to UN’s SDG #12 by incorporating circular economy principles into all our operations. | Material Management % Recycling Rate % |
