American Airlines releases 2023 Sustainability Report
July 02 2024 - 3:00PM
American Airlines released its 2023 Sustainability Report today,
documenting its work to advance the company’s strategy to address
climate change and accelerate the broader solutions needed to
decarbonize aviation, and sharing progress on other issues
important to the company and its stakeholders — including safety,
human capital and customer experience.
Key progress in 2023 includes American’s collaboration with
Breakthrough Energy and Google Research on groundbreaking contrail
avoidance research, which will inform how the industry might
address its impact on climate change. The report also includes a
discussion of how American is extending its commitment to
sustainability to its sourcing and procurement practices.
“Thanks to the hard work of our more than 140,000 team members,
American continues to deliver for our customers while making
strides toward our sustainability goals,” said American’s CEO
Robert Isom. “There is far more work to be done and many areas
where we will continue to rely on policymakers and partnerships to
make progress. But I’m proud of our record — from advancing the
development of lower-carbon technologies, to our work to better
develop and recruit a diverse and talented group of leaders with
unmatched expertise throughout the company.“
Through ongoing engagement across the company and with a broad
range of external stakeholders, American has identified four
priority sustainability issues discussed in detail in the report:
safety; support for team members; customer satisfaction and
operational performance; and climate change and fuel efficiency.
American has maintained its commitment to its long-term
sustainability goals, while recognizing the challenges and
interdependencies in reaching them.
“American’s goal to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by
2050 is the right one, but it won’t be easy,” said American’s Chief
Sustainability Officer Jill Blickstein. “Our report describes the
concrete steps we have taken and sets the stage for the hard work
in the years ahead. American is committed to working with our
partners inside and beyond the aviation industry to get us and our
industry on a path to meet these global challenges.”
In line with American’s commitment to transparency and strong
industry standards, the report also substantially aligns with the
recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures and the standard for the airline industry developed by
the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
