Finnair doubles its score in Carbon Disclosure Project
Finnair Not only blue and white but also clean.Finnair has doubled its result from last year to 61 in the worldwide Carbon Disclosure Project CDP's latest index. The results show that Finnair is clearly the leading Nordic airline in terms of environmental measures.
- The very best airlines reached over 60 points, which also makes Finnair one of the European forerunners in this field, explains Kati Ihamäki, Finnair's VP Sustainable Development.
The CDP gathers information on the greenhouse gas emissions of various corporations and their strategies to reduce them, so that companies and decision-makers can combat climate change through their actions.
Finnair reports on its environmental impacts not only via the CDP but also through its social responsibility reports and emissions calculator.
- Around 95 per cent of an airline's emissions result from engine emissions during flying. The biggest environmental act that an airline can make, therefore, is to fly with modern, low-emission aircraft, says Ihamäki.
Finnair's European fleet is the most modern in the world and the modernisation of the long-haul fleet is near to completion. Every new generation of aircraft produces on average 20 per cent less emissions than its predecessor.
