The Emirates Group position

Committed to making a difference

Aviation is one of the world’s most important economic and social catalysts and employs 32 million people worldwide
Our customers, staff and governments are increasingly conscious about the environment and emissions
As a responsible company, we want to make a difference and can make a difference
However aviation is one small part – or 2% – of the C02 emission problem and therefore no matter how many advances we make, we can only ever be one part of the global solution. Even factoring in likely growth, aviation is forecast to reach only 3% of emissions by 2050. Read more about this at flyingmatters.org
Our focus is on how to be an ecologically-efficient organisation based on the concept of growing our business while trying to use fewer resources and creating less waste and pollution. If we achieve these aims we win for customers, the environment and our business
Emirates eco-efficiency means selecting and operating the world’s most eco-efficient fleet, driving eco-efficiency throughout our organisation – on the ground and in the air - and being an eco-efficient leader in our region
Emirates supports and is implementing our industry’s four-part strategy to reduce emissions. Read more about this at enviro.aero
This will include the use of new technology throughout our Group; spending billions on buying the latest aircraft; encouraging governments to make air navigation more fuel and emission friendly; and being ever more efficient with our ground and office operations
We are committed to further reducing fuel use and emissions per passenger (from one of the lowest per passenger fuel and emission levels of any airline)
Other goals include staff education, waste reduction and recycling, lower energy use and greater communication
The Emirates Group seeks to do more and will continue to innovate, like our support for the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and the creation of two of the world’s most sustainable conservation-based resorts.
