Ryanair has been awarded an ‘A-’ rating on climate protection from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
CDP is an international non-profit that helps organisations to disclose their environmental impact, was established in 2000 to encourage companies to disclose their climate impact. It has expanded to include environmental issues like deforestation and water security, and now covers all planetary boundaries.
CDP Global is an international non-profit organisation governed by a board of trustees and directors, and it receives funding from various sources. It has regional offices and partners in 50 countries and works with companies, cities, states, and regions from over 90 countries for annual disclosure.
Ryanair’s Director of Sustainability, Thomas Fowler, said: Through 2023, Ryanair progressed its ambitious decarbonisation plans. The airline continued to take delivery of new B737-8200 with 4pc more seats and 16pc less CO2, while working with fuel partners to accelerate SAF supply across Europe. Following its order of 300 Boeing MAX-10 aircraft (21pc more seats, 20pc less CO2), it reset the Group’s environmental goals, targeting 50 grams of CO2 per pax/km by 2031. Ryanair continues funding aviation decarbonisation research through the Ryanair Sustainable Aviation Research Centre in Trinity College Dublin.
