ITA Airways publishes only intensity-based emissions reductions while absolute figures remain undisclosed—a critical gap as fleet and traffic grow. The airline lacks Scope 3 data, credible climate targets (SBTi commitment lapsed), and SAF uptake verification. Offset marketing mirrors the greenwashing patterns ClientEarth flagged across European carriers.
ITA Airways scores 21/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified July 2026.
That places ITA Airways joint 797th of 847 companies scored, and joint 18th of 23 in Airlines / Aviation.
