This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 3,430,363,000 kg CO2e, including 2,779,968,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 18,802,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 631,594,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The airline has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, it is essential to note that the aviation industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, and many companies are exploring sustainable aviation fuels and operational efficiencies to mitigate their environmental impact. Malaysia Aviation's emissions intensity has shown variability over the years, with a notable decrease in carbon emissions per passenger from 0.85 tonnes CO2e in 2016 to 0.591 tonnes CO2e in 2018, indicating efforts to improve efficiency. As the airline continues to navigate its climate responsibilities, it remains crucial for Malaysia Aviation to establish clear reduction targets and strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
