EVA Air recently hit a major milestone in its sustainability journey through its debut on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI)’s Emerging Markets Index.
Thanks to the airline’s industry leadership and commitment to sustainable practices, it secured the highest Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) score in the global aviation sector in the 2024 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.
Over 13,000 companies from 62 industries participated in the evaluation this year.
Among the 61 airlines assessed, EVA Air stood out as the top performer, recognized for its comprehensive and well-executed ESG strategies.
According to EVA Air president Clay Sun: “This recognition highlights the outstanding performance of our ESG initiatives and the dedicated efforts of all our employees. We remain committed to taking concrete actions to uphold ESG principles, delivering long-term value for both society and our company.”
Maintaining compliance in sustainability and governance
EVA Air’s inclusion in the DJSI Emerging Markets Indices is a testament to its achievements in corporate sustainability governance.
The airline excelled in the environmental and social categories, ranking first in Transparency & Reporting, Risk & Crisis Management, Supply Chain Management, Environmental Policy & Management, Energy, Packaging, Climate Strategy, Transportation Safety, Customer Relations, and Privacy Protection.
As part of its commitment to decarbonisation, EVA Air has been actively integrating Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into its operations.
In August 2023, the airline operated a passenger flight from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Taipei Songshan (TSA) using SAF with a 40 percent blend.
As of 16th December, SAF with a 30 percent blend was used on a flight from Incheon (ICN) to Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), reducing approximately 14,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.
These initiatives exemplify EVA Air’s dedication to environmental responsibility through concrete action.
Looking ahead, EVA Air remains committed to advancing sustainability through innovation and collaboration.
Through impactful ESG actions, the airline strives to significantly contribute to the sustainable development of the global aviation industry and society.
