TAP Air Portugal reports Scope 1 and 2 emissions but withholds Scope 3 data entirely. Absolute emissions rose post-COVID with no reduction targets set. The airline relies on regulatory SAF mandates, greenwashing offset schemes, and industry-wide net-zero 2050 aspiration rather than science-based near-term goals.

“2023 Scope 1 approximately 5.28 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) approximately 2.09 million kg CO2e”
“IEnvA certification, based on the ISO 14001 standard, reflects the implementation of a robust environmental management system”
“Fuel-related emissions are not included in Scope 1”
“In 2024, TAP's energy and environmental efficiency indicator improved by 9.7% compared to 2019”
“This year, TAP will use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) when refuelling at airports in the European Union, the UK, and Switzerland”
“TAP Air Portugal, Galp and ANA have formalized a strategic alliance for development, production and supply of sustainable aviation fuel”
“21 airlines including TAP Air Portugal committed to changing their practices regarding their environmental claims”
“TAP Air Portugal that they will cut emissions in the future, as companies mainly rely on false and ineffective solutions such as carbon neutrality, carbon offsetting”
“TAP Air Portugal is a member of Airlines for Europe (A4E), who have actively lobbied against ambitious EU climate policy for aviation”
“2024 was also a year in which we remained committed to our goal of contributing to compliance with the IATA resolution to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050”
