Environmental Sustainability

EVA Air actively responds to global sustainability trends and has established a net-zero emissions target. An assessment of the Company’s environmental footprint indicates that its primary impacts arise from the energy, resources, and ecosystems associated with value chain activities related to flight and ground operations. In response to the global climate emergency, EVA Air joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in June 2022 and has established a governance framework for climate-related risks and opportunities with reference to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and IFRS S2 Sustainability Disclosure Standards. Following the release of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework in September 2023, EVA Air initiated an integration process to incorporate nature-related impacts and dependencies into its management approach, further embedding Nature Positive strategies and actions into its climate agenda.

EVA Air’s Sustainability Committee under the Board of Directors serves as the highest oversight body for nature- and climate-related risks. All members are directors, and the Chairperson serves as convener. Under the ESG Committee, the Environmental Action Team (Environmental Committee) assesses nature- and climate-related risks and opportunities and coordinates the development and implementation of EVA Air’s nature, environmental, and energy-related decisions, management measures, and action plans. It comprises three task forces—Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Environment and Energy, and Carbon Management—with the heads of relevant departments serving as standing members.

The ESG Committee convenes quarterly to review performance related to nature and climate issues, ensuring the effectiveness of the Company’s management approaches and policies. Progress is reported annually to the Board of Directors and the Sustainability Committee to support actions that mitigate nature- and climate-related impacts.
Through the implementation of various management systems, EVA Air has maintained a record of zero major environmental regulatory violations over the past five years.

Following the International Air Transport Association (IATA) commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, EVA Air announced its own 2050 Net Zero Carbon Emissions commitment in November 2021 in support of the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. To achieve this goal, EVA Air has established a transition strategy focused on aircraft and engine technology, operational and infrastructure improvements, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), renewable energy, and carbon offsetting and carbon emission trading. For information on significant capital expenditures related to the low-carbon transition, please refer to page 110 of the 2025 Annual Report.

To align emissions reductions with its net zero pathway, EVA Air joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in June 2022 and established a near-term target using the aviation sector methodology. The target was validated in June 2024, committing to reduce the carbon intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions from aviation fuel by 40% by 2031, compared with the 2019 baseline. EVA Air will continue to monitor progress toward this target.

EVA Air has implemented the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and ISO 50001 Energy Management System. The ISO 14001 Environmental Management System achieved 100% third-party certification coverage based on revenue. Through the Environmental Committee, EVA Air regularly identifies and manages environmental risks associated with operations across its domestic and overseas facilities. Based on energy consumption, water use, and waste generation, EVA Air conducts systematic reviews and assessments to identify opportunities for improving energy performance, water efficiency, and waste management. Quantitative targets are established for energy conservation, waste reduction, and water conservation to support environmental protection initiatives and reduce the environmental impacts of operations.

In addition, EVA Air continues to invest in research and development by introducing energy-efficient equipment and environmentally friendly service products to further reduce energy consumption, water use, and waste generation. To strengthen environmental awareness and accountability across the organization, we provide ongoing environmental and energy management training to enhance employees' understanding of energy conservation, water management, waste reduction, and the environmental impacts of their work. EVA Air has also established an environmental inquiry mailbox (environment@evaair.com) to receive inquiries, complaints, and suggestions from local communities and both internal and external stakeholders. As of the end of 2025, no complaints related to environmental impacts had been received.
