Aena, an air transport services provider (industry code 62) headquartered in Spain (ES), has demonstrated a commitment to climate action through its emissions reporting and reduction targets.

Emissions Overview:

• In 2024, Aena reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 4.38 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
• Scope 3 emissions were the largest contributor, amounting to approximately 4.33 billion kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories include "use of sold products" (approximately 3.31 billion kg CO2e) and "downstream transportation and distribution" (approximately 452.5 million kg CO2e).
• Scope 2 emissions for 2024 were approximately 115.7 million kg CO2e (location-based).
• In 2023, Aena's total emissions were approximately 4.26 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions totalling about 4.22 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 17.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 26.6 million kg CO2e (market-based).
• For 2022, Aena reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 21.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 30.4 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 3.28 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Targets:

Aena has set ambitious climate targets aligned with global climate goals:

• Net Zero by 2030: Aena aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2030 across its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
• Science-Based Targets: Aena has committed to a comprehensive set of Science Based Targets (SBTi).
  • Near-Term (by 2030): A 73.1% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions is targeted from a 2019 base year. Additionally, a 34.7% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions from specific categories (purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and investments) is targeted. Furthermore, Aena aims to ensure that 67% of its customers, by emissions, covering the use of sold products, will have science-based targets by 2028.
  • Long-Term (by 2050): Aena commits to a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from a 2019 base year. A similar 90% reduction is targeted for Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe.
• Aena Brazil: The Aena Brazil Climate Action Plan 2024-2040 aims for Carbon Neutrality by 2035 and Net Zero by 2040 for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

These targets indicate Aena's strategic approach to decarbonisation within the air transport services sector.
