The company has consistently disclosed its Scope 1 emissions over the past few years, with figures of approximately 3,800,030,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and about 4,025,997,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their sustainability reports, Atlas Air is a current subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, ensuring a comprehensive view of their environmental impact. As of now, Atlas Air has not established any formal science-based targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests that further transparency and commitment to broader emissions reduction may be necessary for the company to align with industry standards.
