easyJet reports comprehensive Scope 1 and 2 emissions with third-party verification, but absolute emissions rose 7.9% year-on-year and 284% since 2021 despite intensity improvements. The airline's intensity-only SBTi target excludes non-CO2 warming effects, SAF adoption is regulatory-minimum, and greenwashing complaints from ClientEarth, the UK CMA, and the EU Consumer Protection Cooperation Network expose misleading environmental claims.

“emissions due to fuel and energy-related activities have received independent verification with reasonable assurance by Verifavia”
“In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Easyjet were 8,114,121 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent”
“Globally, their emissions reached approximately 10,679,192,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 contributing about 8,114,121,000 kg”
“We have reduced our emissions intensity by 0.9% year on year, nearly a quarter of our fleet is comprised of the highly efficient NEO aircraft”
“at the start of 2024, we rolled out a new initiative that will see all our 14,000 crew switch from disposable cups and cutlery to reusable alternatives”
“Zero Scope 2 CO2e as 100% renewable energy is sourced for sites where we have direct operational control (market-based)”
“The 106 tonnes of SAF purchased was equivalent to the amount of fuel needed to operate easyJet's flights between Toulouse and Bristol”
“easyJet holidays has today released its first Impact Report, outlining the company's commitment to providing brilliant holidays”
“Airlines receiving the warning included: Ryanair, Lufthansa, Delta, American Airlines, British Airways, Easyjet”
“Despite previously supporting the extension of the EU ETS to all flights departing the EEA, easyJet and Ryanair did not back the extension in 2025”
“On 6 November 2025, 21 major airlines – including Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, easyJet — reached a landmark agreement with the EU Consumer Protection Cooperation Network”
“EasyJet's use of the less steep well-below 2°C scenario and its base year emission intensity does not fully explain the airline's low annualised SBT”
