We’re serious about reducing our impact on the planet, making sure we leave the world better than we found it.
By 2050, we will achieve net zero emissions. That means that for any emissions we produce, the same amount will be removed from the atmosphere.
That’s a big statement, but we’ve got even bigger plans to achieve it.
We pledge to reach a 20% reduction in emissions intensity by 2025, and by 2035, we aim to have cut 2019 net emissions by 50%.
We’re leading the development of sustainable aviation fuels, and we use first-of-its-kind tech to make sure our aircraft are as fuel-efficient as possible.
But we know that climate change isn’t something we can take on alone. That’s why we’ve partnered with industry leaders to create programmes – like our Etihad Greenliner and Sustainability50 –that tackle key sustainability challenges head on.
By using almost no paper on our planes, we’re saving trees, safeguarding forests and protecting the planet.
We’ve replaced magazines and manuals with electronic versions to reduce paper on board, and every guest has the option to download their boarding pass too.
By 2022, we will have reduced single-use plastics by 80%, with almost 100 plastic products removed from our planes.
We use data to precisely calculate how much water we need on board. That means we don’t waste a drop and helps us to reduce emissions too.
And we’re working with partners to find ways to make our flights quieter, reducing the impact on communities living close to airports.
You shouldn't have to choose between travel and planet Earth, and neither should the generations after us.
That’s why we’ve made a promise: To leave the planet better than we found it.
Sustainability might be a buzz word for some. But for us, it’s a value that runs deep.
From our Green Ambassadors on board to our teams on the ground, everyone who works for us is doing their bit to live more sustainably.
We’re all doing everything we can to protect the world for the future, and we need you to join us on our journey.
Those lines you see trailing planes? They contribute to global warming. So, we’re working with Satavia to use software that reduces them.
Almost 40% of our flights in Abu Dhabi are already serviced by electric vehicles on the ground.
Noticed our cabin crew wearing green? They’re our Green Ambassadors – green gurus, eco experts, superheroes of the skies. If you’ve got a question or suggestion about sustainability, they’re ready to listen.
We’re leading the development of new sustainable fuels to significantly reduce our carbon emissions, like creating biofuels from saltwater-tolerant plants.
Etihad is the first airline to use smart engine foam wash. That makes our engines more efficient and saves fuel.
On board and in our boardrooms, we take recycling seriously. Anything we can reuse we will, if it doesn’t need to be printed it won’t be and everything else gets recycled. It’s simple: nothing goes to waste.
