This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to AirAsia's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, AirAsia reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,440,467 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 382 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 14,228.99 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, AirAsia reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 14,228.99 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 896.53, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, AirAsia ranked 25 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places AirAsia among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, AirAsia reported a total carbon footprint of 7,318,208.2 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 21.23% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to AirAsia's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 74.34% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 25.49%.a
