Airbus decarbonization targets approved

Airbus says that it has received approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its greenhouse gas emissions near-term reduction targets.

The company plans to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 (direct and indirect) industrial emissions by up to 63% by 2030 and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity generated by its commercial aircraft in service by 46% by 2035.

“Together with our partners and customers, we are determined to achieve these targets and invest in the solutions that will help decarbonise our industry and ensure aviation can continue to play its precious role in society,” said Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO.
