Indigo's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Indigo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 6,789,520,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 4,445,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects the airline's ongoing operations and energy consumption. The total emissions from these two scopes highlight the substantial environmental impact of the airline industry. Indigo's emissions have shown fluctuations over the years. For instance, in 2022, the airline's Scope 1 emissions were around 4,311,693,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were about 1,844,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, emissions increased further, with Scope 1 reaching approximately 8,414,458,310 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 12,427,970 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Indigo, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The absence of specific reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that Indigo may need to enhance its focus on climate action to align with industry standards and expectations. Overall, while Indigo's emissions data provides insight into its operational impact, the lack of clear reduction targets raises questions about its long-term climate commitments.
