EasyJet will transition its sustainability investments away from offsetting and will instead focus on achieving a new net-zero 2050 roadmap via "in-sector emissions reductions", such as through fleet renewal and sustainable aviation fuels.
The budget carrier had pinned its new roadmap to a new set of science-based targets, which seek to achieve a 35% reduction in emissions by 2035 and 78% reduction by 2050, with residual emissions addressed through straight carbon removals.
This will be supported by a fresh focus on new low or zero carbon technologies, including zero emission aircraft, and a pledge to work with partners such as jet engine manufacturer Rolls Royce.
