Atlas Air's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Atlas Air reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,741,160,000 kg CO2e, with emissions primarily from Scope 1. This represents a significant increase from 2023, where emissions were about 4,406,272,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 emissions for 2023, but in 2024, it reported Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,776,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 1,746,000 kg CO2e (location-based). Atlas Air's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, while Atlas Air has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
