The Emirates Group

The Emirates Group's carbon emissions data for the reporting year 2024 indicates a total of approximately 40.0 billion kg CO2e. This comprises about 32.9 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 171.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 6.9 billion kg CO2e.

For the reporting year 2023, the total emissions were approximately 32.8 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 27.0 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 166.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were around 5.7 billion kg CO2e.

The Emirates Group has established several climate commitments. Notably, the company aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with specific targets for reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For instance, they aim to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. Similarly, Scope 2 emissions are targeted for a 50% reduction by 2030 from the same 2020 baseline.

In terms of recent achievements, carbon intensity for catering and travel has seen reductions. For catering, the carbon intensity (measured in grams of CO2 equivalent emissions per AED) reduced by 26.3% from 13.7 to 10.1 gCO₂e/AED. For travel, the carbon intensity reduced by 22.5% from 4.0 to 3.1 gCO₂e/AED between 2022 and 2023.
