Volaris's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Volaris reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,581,018,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 3,580,722,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 296,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, reflecting the airline's operational growth. In 2022, Volaris's total emissions were about 3,345,514,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 3,345,231,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions around 283,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a consistent rise in emissions over the years, with 2021 reporting approximately 2,684,536,000 kg CO2e in total emissions. Despite the increase in emissions, there are no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from Volaris, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or specific climate pledges. The absence of such commitments suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability and carbon reduction strategies within the airline's operational framework. Overall, while Volaris continues to expand its operations, the lack of clear emissions reduction targets raises questions about its long-term climate strategy and commitment to mitigating its environmental impact.
