In 2018, Aéroport International de Genève reported total carbon emissions of approximately 229,724,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects the airport's overall impact on the environment, although specific breakdowns into Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not disclosed. The previous year, 2017, emissions were slightly lower at about 228,918,000 kg CO2e, while in 2016, emissions were recorded at approximately 220,560,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Aéroport International de Genève has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the airport's operational framework. As of now, the airport's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that it operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. The focus remains on understanding and managing its carbon footprint as part of broader industry efforts to mitigate climate change impacts.
