Atlas Air's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Atlas Air reported 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 the company recorded about 3,800,030,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions. The data is cascaded from its parent company, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., reflecting the organisation's operational footprint. Despite the significant emissions figures, Atlas Air has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a current subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., Atlas Air's emissions data and performance metrics are derived from the parent organisation, which may influence its overall sustainability efforts. The company is positioned within an industry that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of establishing clear climate commitments moving forward.
