In 2023, Air Lease Corporation, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,599,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 255,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 5,854,000 kg CO2e. This marks an increase from 2022, when the company emitted around 4,967,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 280,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, totalling approximately 5,247,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data indicates a consistent disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions over the past three years, with no reported Scope 3 emissions. In 2021, the total emissions were about 4,438,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 239,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, leading to a total of approximately 4,678,000 kg CO2e. Despite the increase in emissions in 2023, Air Lease Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of Air Lease Corporation's operations. Overall, while Air Lease Corporation has demonstrated transparency in its emissions reporting, the lack of defined climate commitments or reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its sustainability efforts.
