AerCap Ireland Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from AerCap Holdings N.V.

AerCap Ireland Limited currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of AerCap Holdings N.V., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. As of now, AerCap Ireland Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of specific climate pledges or commitments suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the context of the aviation leasing industry, it is essential for AerCap Ireland Limited to develop robust climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals. The company may benefit from leveraging best practices and initiatives from its parent organisation, AerCap Holdings N.V., to enhance its environmental performance and reporting in the future.
