Leading in sustainability by establishing an industry-leading target to go 100% green by 2050 and achieve net zero GHG emissions without relying on traditional carbon offsets, and, by 2035, reduce carbon intensity 50% compared to 2019.
1st First airline to fly a passenger flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel
30% From 1990 to 2021, United improved its mainline fuel efficiency more than 30%
1st United’s public commitments to purchasing sustainable aviation fuel are more than any other airline globally
We understand the need for bold action now to combat climate change. We are taking the harder, better path to reducing emissions — pledging to go 100% green and achieve net zero GHG emissions without relying on traditional carbon offsets — by actually reducing emissions from flying and investing in emerging technologies, like carbon capture and sequestration.
Our goal is to decarbonize aviation. To do this means more sustainable fuel, better efficiency, and new technology. It means investing in our future through direct action now.
We engage with a wide range of stakeholders to maximize the impact of our programs and drive our performance higher.
