The company has not set a company-wide target for an absolute reduction in GHG emissions yet.
Delta Air Lines also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Delta Air Lines commits to reduce well-to-wake scope 1 and 3 jet fuel GHG emissions 45% per revenue tonne kilometer by 2035 from a 2019 base year.* *Non-CO2e effects which may also contribute to aviation induced warming are not included in this target. Delta Air Lines commits to report publicly on its collaboration with stakeholders to improve understanding of opportunities to mitigate the non-CO2e impacts of aviation annually over its target timeframe.
