Environmental Sustainability

Aviation industry operations are divided into two major aspects: Aircraft operations, and ground operations. The GHG emissions produced from aircraft operations account for more than 99% of total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Since 2016, EVA Air has been conducting GHG inventories and obtained third-party verification in accordance with ISO 14064-1. Measures cover aviation fuels and GHG sources in our owned facilities in Taiwan. In addition, the ISO 14064-1:2018 has been introduced since 2020, expanding the inventory of Other Indirect GHG Emission Sources. From 2023 onwards, the scope of inventory is expanded to include all globally operated sites under operational control, including airports/stations and offices. This has resulted in a slight increase in both Direct Emissions from Non-Aircraft and in Indirect Emissions from Energy as compared to the previous year. With rapid recovery in the aviation market since COVID-19 has waned, Direct Emissions from Aircraft Operations have returned to a level similar to that of the pre-pandemic period.
