In 2023, Avolon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113,430 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 88,790 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 9,040 kg CO2e, including 43,000 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at about 15,600 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel, which amounted to approximately 4,292,000 kg CO2e. Avolon’s emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Avolon Holdings Limited, and reflects a commitment to transparency in its climate impact reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. The company has not disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate commitments. Over the past few years, Avolon has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 278,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 66,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a staggering 12,733,242,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a need for ongoing assessment and potential strategies to mitigate emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which represents a significant portion of their carbon footprint. Overall, Avolon is positioned within the aviation leasing sector, where addressing carbon emissions is increasingly critical. The company’s commitment to understanding and reporting its emissions is a step towards aligning with broader industry sustainability goals.
