For the third consecutive year, Japanese airline group ANA Holdings has received an ‘A List’ ranking for its environmental transparency and climate change leadership by CDP, a global environmental non-profit organisation.
This distinction makes ANA the only airline group worldwide to receive this recognition.
“This third consecutive ‘A List’ ranking affirms that ANA Group’s ongoing leadership and commitment to climate action and transparency is being recognised by the public,” said ANA Holdings Chief Sustainability Officer Chikako Miyata. “As the only airline group globally to achieve this distinction, we will continue to pursue decarbonisation and contribute to a carbon-neutral society.”
ANA Holding’s ambitious and ongoing CO2 reduction initiatives, validated by the SBTi, align with the Paris Agreement’s goals for limited greenhouse gas emission targets.
To reduce CO2 emissions from aircraft operations, ANA, in co-operation with stakeholders, is focusing on operational improvements, introduction of fuel-efficient aircraft and efforts to utilise sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
ANA is also updating aging facilities and equipment while simultaneously purchasing electricity with non-fossil fuel certificates to lower ground facility emissions.
Additionally, ANA is conducting an experimental study related to airport vehicles. The study focuses on the use of renewable diesel as a low-carbon fuel and on the opportunity to reduce emissions by using electric vehicles.
ANA discloses these climate change initiatives and their financial impact on management in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
