Easyjet's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, easyJet reported carbon emissions of approximately 4,359,896,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 22,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling about 4,359,918,000 kg CO2e for these two scopes combined. The airline's global emissions for the same year reached approximately 10,679,192,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 8,114,121,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 284,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 2,564,787,000 kg CO2e. easyJet has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The airline has established an interim target to reduce well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions related to jet fuel by 35% per revenue tonne kilometre (RTK) by FY2035, using FY2019 as the baseline year. This target is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks, although it does not account for non-CO2e effects contributing to aviation-induced warming. The company is actively working towards these goals, having joined the UN-backed Race to Zero initiative in November 2021, committing to set interim science-based targets for 2035. As part of its long-term strategy, easyJet anticipates annual reductions in methane and nitrous oxide emissions as it progresses towards its SBTi-approved reduction targets. Overall, easyJet's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint reflects a proactive approach to addressing climate change within the aviation sector, with a clear roadmap and measurable targets in place.
