Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their reports, NAC is committed to addressing climate change within the aviation sector. The company has not yet established Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges, indicating an opportunity for future commitments to enhance their sustainability efforts. Overall, while NAC's emissions have shown fluctuations, the absence of defined reduction strategies highlights the need for a more robust approach to climate commitments in the aviation industry.
