WestJet's reported carbon emissions
As of 2019, WestJet's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 22,030,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 22,030,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 6,540,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 15,490,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The airline has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint, nor has it committed to any climate pledges. WestJet's emissions data indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which include indirect emissions from sources such as purchased goods and services, employee commuting, and the use of sold products. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while WestJet acknowledges its carbon emissions, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
