Qantas's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Qantas's carbon emissions include significant figures from 2008, where the airline reported Scope 2 emissions of approximately 248,007,000 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Additionally, their Scope 3 emissions included about 12,608,518,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, alongside other contributions from business travel (approximately 3,273,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (about 3,294,000 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (approximately 3,387,000 kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (around 3,511,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, Qantas has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the aviation sector. As a major airline headquartered in Australia, Qantas's climate commitments are crucial in addressing the broader industry context of carbon emissions and sustainability efforts.
