LEWIS CAPALDI SURPRISES BRITISH . Aviation Sustainability and the Environment, CAPA 27-Feb-2020 IAG also goes beyond compliance requirements and voluntarily aligns sustainability reporting with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the IATA Airlines Reporting Handbook, and relevant criteria from external ESG rating agencies. In 2016 governments around the world agreed to the first global economic measure to address aviation carbon emissions, under a scheme called CORSIA, which stands for Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for Aviation. The airline aims to generate a return on capital of a minimum 15 per cent with an operating profit margin of 12 - 15 per cent. See all the latest information and updates from IAG, -98.4% British Airways worked with all parties in the ten years before the introduction of the scheme to ensure it came to fruition.

We are now pleased to be continuing with our commitment to reduce single use plastics on our flights, with initiatives such the use of paper banding on our Club World blankets and duvets, which we first introduced before the pandemic. 83.9%, -7.8% Proud to be industry leaders in tackling climate change, were driving urgent action towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Available seat km The process locks carbon into the solid material and prevents it from naturally decaying, locking carbon away and keeping it out of the atmosphere for several hundreds of years. Earlier this year, the United Kingdom's flag carrier made the fateful decision to end Boeing 747 operations. The facility will take hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste and convert it into clean-burning, sustainable fuels. In our World Traveller cabins, headsets are placed inside paper charity envelopes. More details are available in section C.2. It has the potential to provide a lifecycle carbon reduction of more than 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces. Our partnership with LanzaJet will provide us with SAF from a plant in the USA, which is expected to be available to power a number of our flights by the end of 2022. An example of this was our first flight to the USA after the country lifted its restrictions for US travellers. As part of the agreement, our parent company, IAG, is investing in the project to support the next phase of development work that will help decarbonise the aviation industry. This is just an info notification message. Committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance, were investing in quieter aircraft and operations to minimise noise.

One of the key benefits of SAF, is that it is a drop-in solution and can be used now as a direct replacement for fossil-based jet fuel and delivered as part of the existing aviation fuel supply infrastructure. We are empowering customers to make more sustainable travel choices by introducing the new, upgraded climate software solution, CO2llaborate, in partnership with climate tech company CHOOOSE. Orderly and disorderly scenarios were chosen as per TCFD definitions. HyTSwoc [5laQIBHADED2mtFOE.c}088GNg9w '0 Jb Using SAF results in a reduction in carbon emissions compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces over the lifecycle of the fuel and can drop straight into existing fuel supply infrastructure and aircraft. 1 0 obj From creating a great place for people to work to reducing our emissions and waste and contributing to the communities we serve to build a thriving, resilient, responsible business.
