Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were recorded at 184,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled 43,000 kg CO2e, all from purchased electricity. Comparatively, in 2022, Avolon's emissions were approximately 12,733,242,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 278,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 66,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3, which rose significantly. Avolon operates as a current subsidiary of Avolon Holdings Limited, with emissions data cascaded from this parent company. The company does not currently have specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in its climate commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) at this time. Overall, Avolon's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced in managing carbon outputs, particularly in the aviation leasing sector, where Scope 3 emissions often dominate.
