Significant gapsPending Review-12 since last review

easyJet reports robust emissions data with third-party verification, but absolute emissions rose 7.93% in FY2024 while the airline carried more passengers. Its SBTi target is intensity-based, not absolute reduction. The company faces multiple greenwashing allegations from regulators and NGOs, and has no meaningful renewable energy strategy despite being a fossil-fuel-dependent operator.
