As of the latest available data, Ryanair DAC does not report specific carbon emissions figures for the most recent year, nor does it provide detailed reduction targets or achievements. The company is a current subsidiary of Ryanair Holdings plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. Ryanair DAC's climate initiatives and targets are inherited from its parent company, Ryanair Holdings plc. However, specific details regarding emissions data, such as Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not disclosed. The absence of concrete emissions figures suggests that Ryanair DAC is still in the process of establishing comprehensive reporting mechanisms. While no specific reduction targets are outlined, Ryanair Holdings plc has been involved in various climate initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to enhance transparency and accountability in carbon emissions management across the aviation sector. In summary, Ryanair DAC currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets, relying on the broader commitments of its parent company, Ryanair Holdings plc, to guide its climate strategy.
