"The climate emergency is undoubtedly the greatest challenge our industry faces today. All employees of the group and its airlines have been working for many years to reduce their environmental footprint, but we now need to accelerate our transition towards a more sustainable air transport. The SBTi commitment illustrates our determination to achieve this, by placing our emissions reduction trajectory within a scientifically indisputable and demanding framework. We are signing this commitment because we are confident in our ability to make this transition collectively, together with our people, our customers and all our partners," said Benjamin Smith, CEO of the Air France-KLM Group.
