easyJet publishes verified emissions data and holds an SBTi-validated intensity target, but absolute emissions rose 43% year-on-year while the airline remains 99%+ dependent on fossil jet fuel. Supply chain emissions are largely unmeasured, and recent regulatory findings and NGO warnings expose greenwashing in net-zero claims and offset reliance.
easyJet scores 25/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
That places easyJet joint 728th of 847 companies scored, and joint 8th of 23 in Airlines / Aviation.
