10 Highlights from Alaska Airlines’ Annual Sustainability Report
Aviation connects people and businesses, brings families together, contributes to local economies, and enables opportunity. At Alaska Airlines, we take these opportunities and our responsibilities personally. And when we refer to sustainability, we mean keeping one another and our guests safe, managing our business in balance, and improving our impact on people, our communities, and the planet we share.
Since 2009, our sustainability reports have transparently tracked our progress toward our short- and long-term goals, learnings over the year, and the work ahead.
Here are some highlights from our 2023 report:
2. Inflight Recycling:
Flight attendants worked to increase average annual onboard recycling from 41% in 2022 to 63% in 2023 - on our way back to our pre-covid level.
4. Reducing Food Waste:
Enabling passengers to pre-order meals drove a 61% reduction in our food waste compared to 2019, equivalent to 460,000 meals.
5. Inclusive Culture:
We were proud to achieve a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index and score of 100 for the second year in a row in Disability:IN's Disability Equality Index.
