Recognized as the top performer among 61 airlines assessed in the 2024 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, EVA Air secured the highest Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) score in the global aviation sector.
Over 13,000 companies from 62 industries participated in this year’s evaluation, highlighting EVA Air’s industry leadership and commitment to sustainable practices. The airline excelled in key ESG categories, including Transparency & Reporting, Climate Strategy, Risk & Crisis Management, Supply Chain Management, and Customer Relations.
EVA Air president Clay Sun emphasized the achievement, stating, “This recognition highlights the outstanding performance of our ESG initiatives and the dedicated efforts of all our employees. We remain committed to taking concrete actions to uphold ESG principles, delivering long-term value for both society and our company.”
The airline has also made significant strides in decarbonization through the integration of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Notably, it operated a passenger flight from Tokyo Haneda to Taipei Songshan in August 2023 using a 40% SAF blend. Additionally, a December 2024 flight from Incheon to Taoyuan International Airport utilized a 30% SAF blend, reducing approximately 14,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.
EVA Air’s inclusion in the DJSI Emerging Markets Index underscores its robust corporate sustainability governance and its proactive approach to environmental and social responsibility. The airline’s ongoing innovation and collaboration aim to contribute significantly to the sustainable development of the global aviation industry and society at large.
