American Airlines Publishes 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance Report
July 11 2022 - 5:00PM
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) issued its 2021
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report today, providing
updates on the company’s strategy and progress across key issues
over the year. The report affirms American’s focus on the issues
most important to its business and stakeholders, including climate
change; diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI); customer and team
member safety; and customer service.
“As the world continues to emerge from the pandemic and
reconnect, American Airlines is committed to living our purpose to
care for people on life’s journey,” American’s CEO Robert Isom
said. “Our environmental, social and governance efforts are key to
American’s success today and critical to building a resilient
airline that will thrive forever.”
American’s aggressive climate goals include achieving net-zero
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, and the report demonstrates
that the company has developed a transparent and credible plan to
meet this goal. That includes becoming the first airline globally
to receive validation from the Science Based Targets initiative for
its intermediate GHG emissions reduction targets and being the only
U.S. airline to report using more than 1 million gallons of
sustainable aviation fuel in 2021. The report also includes a
detailed discussion of American’s risks and opportunities related
to climate change, as recommended by the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
American continues to work toward improving diverse
representation across the company, meeting or exceeding its 2021
targets for Black representation, and setting new goals for 2022.
The company is also making strides in increasing pilot diversity,
with 25% of pilots hired by American in 2021 self-identifying as
people of color. In addition, as part of its strategy to embed DEI
throughout the organization, American also became the first airline
— and one of only a handful of large U.S. companies — to receive
Fair Pay Workplace’s inaugural pay equity certification. The
company also continues to have an uncompromising commitment to
customer and team member safety.
As a result of these and other efforts detailed in the report,
American was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability North America
Index for the first time in 2021 — the only passenger airline to be
included.
