In 2023, Air China completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy).
However, Air China has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Air China amounted to 22,791,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).
Compared to 2022, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Air China increased by 126.73%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.
In 2023, the total Scope 1 emissions of Air China were 22,608,000 metric tons of COâ‚‚ equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e).
Since 2021, Air China's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 48.56%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.
Compared to the previous year (2022), Air China's Scope 1 emissions increased by 130.15%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.
In 2023, Air China reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 183,000 tCOâ‚‚e without specifying the calculation method.
Since 2021, Air China's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 18.3%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.
Compared to the previous year (2022), Air China's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) fell by 20.09% in 2023, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.
In 2023, Air China reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.
In 2023, Air China reported a total carbon footprint of 22,791,000 metric tons of COâ‚‚ equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 126.73% increase compared to 2022, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.
The largest contributor to Air China's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 99.2% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.8%.
