Latam Airlines's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, LATAM Airlines reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,624,405,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 11,524,420,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 5,217,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,094,768,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The airline has faced challenges in establishing long-term carbon reduction targets, as it has removed its near-term targets and is not currently committed to net-zero emissions. Over the years, LATAM Airlines has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with a total of approximately 12,386,323,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and 6,514,570,000 kg CO2e in 2021, indicating a significant reduction in emissions during that period. However, the absence of a clear long-term commitment to carbon neutrality raises concerns about the airline's future sustainability efforts. The airline operates within the air transportation sector and has been involved in various initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets have been removed. As LATAM Airlines continues to navigate its climate commitments, the focus remains on improving operational efficiencies and exploring sustainable practices to mitigate its environmental impact.
