Atlas Air's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Atlas Air reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,406,272,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This marks an increase from 2022, when emissions were about 3,800,030,000 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 3,644,967,000 kg CO2e. The data reflects emissions inherited from its parent company, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship. Despite the significant emissions figures, Atlas Air has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other climate pledges suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. As a current subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., Atlas Air's emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from its parent company, which may influence its overall sustainability efforts. The company operates in a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of establishing clear climate commitments and reduction strategies moving forward.
