Kenya Airways Plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Kenya Airways Plc reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 1,225,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and about 1,688,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects the airline's operational impact on climate change, with both scopes disclosed, indicating a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting. Comparatively, in 2022, the airline's emissions were approximately 913,148,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 2,256,980 kg CO2e for Scope 2. In 2021, the figures were approximately 596,161,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 2,236,140 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This trend shows a substantial increase in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 1, which is primarily associated with direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their recent reports, Kenya Airways has not established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. This absence of defined commitments may indicate a need for enhanced strategies to address their carbon footprint effectively. Overall, while Kenya Airways Plc has made strides in emissions reporting, the increasing trend in emissions highlights the importance of developing and implementing robust climate action plans to mitigate their environmental impact.
