We support the development of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source because we believe it has the potential to enable us to reach true zero emissions on short-haul routes by 2050. Additionally, we have been deploying technology and applying management focus to improve operational efficiency. Results and reports Results and reports Where you can find all our annual reviews, quarterly reports, traffic stats, as well as presentations and webcasts. The independently certified carbon removal projects available on the platform include the Blue Carbon Mangrove Project, a nature-based project which will support the reforestation and revegetation of degraded tidal wetlands in the Indus Delta Area in Pakistan and the Freres Biocharproject in Oregon, USA, which sees the companys biomass power production plant produce biochar, a carbon-rich charcoal-like material that is created when agricultural and wood waste is used as fuel. We are the first airline in the world to use SAFproduced on a commercial scale in the UK after signing a multi-year agreement with Phillips 66 Limited. Please visit our Help centre for more support if you have a question about your booking or flight. As part of a collaboration with bp, we sourced enough SAF with respect to all flights that we operated between London, Glasgow and Edinburgh during the period of COP26. The IAG Group Head of Sustainability and Group Head of People report into the CPCASO. We are flying more fuel-efficient aircraft including A350s, 787s, A320 and A321neos, which are up to 40 per cent more fuel-efficient than the 747. We haveretired our entire fleet of Boeing 747s, years earlier than previously planned. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is produced from sustainable feedstocks and is similar in chemistry to traditional fossil jet fuel. Four aviation decarbonisation projects supported by British Airways and designed to help the industry achieve its targets of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, received Government funding in 2021: The projects are being funded by the Department for Transports Green Fuels, Green Skies competition - part of the Prime Ministers Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution.

We segregate recyclable materials on board including glass, plastic bottles, newspapers and cans on inbound flights. The projects we support on CO2llaborateoffer additional benefits to support communities in developing economies - providing sustainable incomes, access to education and health benefits in addition to the carbon reductions. In 2021, IAG repeated a comprehensive materiality assessment to assess these issues over a three-year timeframe and to 2030. Virgin Media has been on a mission to reduce its waste and improve its carbon footprint. The impacts of material risks are quantified as part of the Company-wide ERM process which receives Board oversight, Operating airlines modelled compliance-related costs, including from the UK and EU ETS and CORSIA, to 2030, TCFD-aligned scenario analysis was repeated using a dual timeframe of 2030 and 2040, Ongoing analysis was carried out on the Flightpath Net Zero strategy to 2050, Independent risk screening and sustainability assessments, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Audits, Embedding sustainability as standard in the procurement process. We believe that SAF can be a game changer for the aviation industry, but the current supply of sustainable aviation fuel is just 0.04% of what the global aviation industry needs to fly sustainably there is currently nowhere near enough for the industry to regularly fly using SAF. This aligns with worldwide efforts to keep average global average temperatures below a 1.5C rise. Pre-Covid-19, we achieved the following plastic reductions: Weve also introduced water bottles made from 50% recycled plasticand have removed inflight retail plastic bags. 10 September 2021 Olivia Story This will be mainly accounted for by markets to mainland China & Hong Kong which are expected to remain closed well into this year. 2030: 20 per cent reduction in net Scope 1 CO2 emissions, to 22MT, 2030 20 per cent reduction in net Scope 3 CO2 emissions, to 6.6MT, 2050: Net zero Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 CO2 emissions. IAG will purchase a total of 78,400 tonnes of SAF over seven years, enough to reduce CO2emissions by up to 248,000 tonnes (the equivalent of taking over 16,000 cars off the road) across the same time period.

Replacing plastic is a complex, long-term project and requires a significant amount of research to ensure that removing it does not cause a detrimental impact elsewhere. For some time, our customers have been able to address their emissions from flying by using our carbon offsetting tool to purchase high-quality carbon offsets and sustainable aviation fuel. endobj The plant could produce enough fuel for more than 1,000 flights using SAF from London to New York each year in an A350 aircraft. The facility will take hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste and convert it into clean-burning, sustainable fuels. Aviation Sustainability and the Environment, CAPA 27-Feb-2020 Vueling achieved full IEnvA certification in 2022 and British Airways and Aer Lingus have achieved partial (Stage 1) accreditation.
