In 2015, Transportes Aéreos Portugueses, S.A. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,393,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 15,691,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This indicates a significant carbon footprint associated with their operations. However, there is no recent emissions data available for 2023, and the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions. Despite the lack of recent emissions data, TAP has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets and other climate pledges suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. TAP has received recognition for its sustainability efforts, including a Silver Medal in the EcoVadis Index, which reflects its commitment to improving environmental performance. However, without specific reduction targets or detailed emissions data for recent years, it remains unclear how the company plans to address its carbon emissions moving forward.
