Norwegian Air Shuttle discloses emissions under GHG Protocol and CDP, but absolute emissions rose 18–20% year-on-year despite intensity improvements. The airline relies on an intensity-only 2030 target without SBTi validation, has no verified supply chain carbon programme, and faces regulatory penalties for EU ETS non-compliance and greenwashing enforcement action.
