EVA Air, a Taiwanese international airline, has debuted on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) Emerging Markets Indices.
Based on its leadership and commitment to sustainable (ESG) practices, the airline secured the top rank in the global airline industry in this year’s S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.
As part of its commitment to decarbonization, EVA Air has been actively integrating Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into its operations. On December 16, 2024, SAF with a 30% blend was used on a flight from Incheon (ICN) to Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), reducing approximately 14,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. In August 2023, the airline operated a passenger flight from Tokyo Haneda to Taipei Songshan using SAF with a 40% blend. These initiatives exemplify EVA Air’s dedication to environmental responsibility through concrete action.
President Clay Sun said, “This recognition highlights the outstanding performance of our ESG initiatives and the dedicated efforts of all our employees. We remain committed to taking concrete actions to uphold ESG principles, delivering long-term value for both society and our company.”
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices are globally recognized benchmarks for responsible investing, assessing companies across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. Over 13,000 companies from 62 industries participated in the evaluation this year. Among the 61 airlines assessed, EVA Air stood out as the top performer, recognized for its comprehensive and well-executed ESG strategies.
EVA Air’s inclusion in the DJSI Emerging Markets Indices is a testament to its achievements in corporate sustainability governance.
