At Delta, we are committed to being a sustainable, transparent and responsible airline industry leader. Transparency and responsibility are also fundamental to Delta’s operations and global sustainability strategy.
As part of these commitments, Delta publishes an annual Corporate Responsibility Report. Included in the report is a description of our environmental sustainability strategy and data on sustainability performance. Delta’s environmental sustainability performance metrics are based on what is considered to be material areas of impact, and metrics are illustrated as year-over-year comparisons.
“At Delta, we believe that reducing our impact on the environment is a business imperative. By improving fuel efficiency across our fleet, we are helping to lessen the global impacts of our operations while lowering the cost of fuel, which is Delta’s largest expense. We also believe in operating transparently, and voluntarily seek to verify our greenhouse gas emissions, report to the CDP, and respond to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index questionnaire. While it may be impossible to completely mitigate our impacts, Delta continuously seeks to improve performance over the long-term. We remain committed to doing what we can to reduce our impacts, and we encourage employees and customers to join us in this effort.”
At Delta, we understand the responsibility to minimize environmental impacts and conduct operations in an environmentally sustainable manner. Delta is committed to complying with all environmental laws and regulations which govern the airline industry as minimum requirements. In the absence of government regulation, Delta is committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner as defined by the best practices of the aviation industry.
