ALASKA AIRLINES's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Alaska Airlines reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,536,154,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 7,536,154,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 10,652,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based), and significant contributions from Scope 3, including 2,100,523,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities and 468,802,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Comparatively, in 2022, the airline's emissions were about 6,910,637,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 19,188,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based). This indicates a rise in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 1 emissions. Alaska Airlines has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to reduce emissions at this time. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the airline is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have established a structured approach to achieving significant reductions. Overall, Alaska Airlines' emissions data reflects the challenges faced by the aviation industry in managing carbon footprints, particularly in the context of increasing operational demands.
