Carbon Performance Delta Air Lines

Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Delta Air Lines sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.

Assessment Date:
TPI notes:

The company discloses an emissions intensity using an activity measure and/or emissions figure that is inconsistent with TPI’s methodology for this sector. The carbon intensity has been recalculated according to TPI methodology. To calculate this company’s targeted emissions intensity, TPI assumes that the company’s passenger activity grows according to the passenger aviation activity growth rate projected in the IEA’s 2020 Energy Technology Perspective (ETP) and that its freight activity grows according to ICAO post-COIVD projections. When interpreting TPI Carbon Performance data, it is important to bear in mind that climate science shows temperature change is proportional to cumulative absolute CO2 emissions.
