El Al's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.23 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes 2.22 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and about 8.16 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Notably, El Al has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which would cover other indirect emissions in its value chain. Comparatively, in 2023, El Al's total emissions were approximately 1.92 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1.91 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 8.23 million kg CO2e. This indicates a rise in emissions from 2023 to 2024, reflecting the challenges faced by the airline industry in reducing its carbon footprint amidst increasing operational demands. El Al has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Overall, while El Al has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of comprehensive Scope 3 data and formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in its sustainability efforts.
