Airasia's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, AirAsia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9,127,059 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 333,196 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3,403,617 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 5,390,246 kg CO2e. The data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Globally, AirAsia's emissions for 2023 included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 960,280,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 205,900 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 200,795,000 kg CO2e. Notably, business travel and employee commuting contributed 68,000 kg CO2e and 314,000 kg CO2e, respectively, while fuel and energy-related activities accounted for about 200,413,000 kg CO2e. Despite the extensive emissions data, AirAsia has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from any parent organisation, indicating that their reporting is independent. Overall, AirAsia's emissions profile highlights the significant environmental impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. The airline's commitment to addressing climate change remains crucial as it navigates the complexities of the aviation industry's environmental responsibilities.
