In 2023, Xiamen Airlines reported a carbon emissions factor of approximately 0.00092 kg CO2e per tonne-kilometre, reflecting their operational efficiency in carbon management. The airline's emissions data for previous years shows a consistent focus on monitoring their carbon footprint, with emissions factors of about 0.623 kg CO2e per tonne-kilometre in 2020, 0.636 kg CO2e in 2021, and 0.629 kg CO2e in 2022. While specific absolute emissions figures are not disclosed, the airline has not publicly committed to any reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. This indicates a potential area for growth in their climate commitments. Xiamen Airlines operates within a global context where the aviation industry is increasingly pressured to reduce carbon emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 categories, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, respectively. The absence of detailed emissions disclosures suggests that the airline may need to enhance its transparency and commitment to climate action.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
