Starting March 1, 2020, Delta Air Lines\u00a0is committing $1 billion over the next 10 years on its journey to mitigate all emissions from its global business, going forward.<\/p>\n

\n
The airline will invest in driving innovation, advancing clean air travel technologies, accelerating the reduction of carbon emissions and waste, and establishing new projects to mitigate the balance of emissions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThere is no substitute for the power that travel has to connect people, which our world needs today more than ever before. As we connect customers around the globe, it is our responsibility to deliver on our promise to bring people together and ensure the utmost care for our environment,\u201d said Ed Bastian, Delta\u2019s CEO. \u201cThe time is now to accelerate our investments and establish an ambitious commitment that the entire Delta team will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delta\u2019s approach to tackling carbon reduction and sustainability reflects the focus and rigor it has become known for, and that it used to build a financially secure airline. This announcement comes as Delta pays $1.6 billion in profit sharing to employees this Valentine\u2019s Day [link], and reflects its long-standing approach to placing a high value on supporting all stakeholders and\u00a0communities worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no challenge we face that is in greater need of innovation than environmental sustainability, and we know there is no single solution. We are digging deep into the issues, examining every corner of our business, engaging experts, building coalitions, fostering partnerships and driving innovation,\u201d Bastian said. \u201cWe are on a journey, and though we don\u2019t have all the answers today, we know that our scale, along with investments of time, talent and resources will bring meaningful impact to the planet and ensure the sustainability of our business for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The aviation industry accounts for roughly 2 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Delta\u2019s carbon footprint is its largest environmental impact, with 98 percent of emissions coming from its aircraft. Here is how the company is focusing its efforts to become carbon neutral:<\/p>\n

Carbon reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reducing Delta\u2019s carbon footprint through enterprise-wide efforts to decrease the use of jet fuel and increase efficiency. Areas of focus include an ambitious fleet renewal program, improved flight operations, weight reduction, and increased development and use of sustainable aviation fuels.<\/p>\n

Carbon removal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investing in innovative projects and technology to remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere that go beyond the airline\u2019s current\u00a0commitments, and investigating\u00a0carbon removal opportunities through forestry, wetland restoration, grassland conservation, marine and soil capture, and other negative emissions technologies.<\/p>\n

Stakeholder engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building coalitions with our\u00a0employees, suppliers, global partners, customers, industry colleagues, investors\u00a0and other stakeholders to advance carbon reduction and removal goals and maximize our global impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
