In 2024, EasyJet reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,679,192,000 kg CO2e globally, with Scope 1 emissions at about 8,114,121,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 284,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at around 2,564,787,000 kg CO2e. In the UK, their emissions for the same year were approximately 4,359,896,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 22,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, with no Scope 3 data disclosed. EasyJet has committed to significant climate action, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. They have set an interim target to reduce well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions related to jet fuel by 35% per revenue tonne kilometre (RTK) by FY2035, using FY2019 as the baseline. This target is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks, although it does not account for non-CO2e effects contributing to aviation-induced warming. The company is actively working on reducing its methane and nitrous oxide emissions as part of its long-term strategy. EasyJet's commitment to sustainability is further reinforced by its participation in the UN-backed Race to Zero initiative, which underscores their dedication to achieving substantial emissions reductions in the coming years.
