Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

United Airlines Holdings belongs to the sector Industrials.

Science-based Targets (SBTI)

Date Published / Updated :01/06/2023

Near-term Long-Term Net Zero Standard
Targets Set : Well-below 2°C by 2035 No target Yes
United Airlines Holdings is a member of the Business Ambition for 1.5 campaign (link here )

United Airlines commits to reduce scope 1, 2, and well-to-wake jet fuel GHG
emissions, including scope 3 category 4, upstream transportation and distribution
50% per revenue ton kilometer (RTK) by 2035 from a 2019 base year.***
*The target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy
feedstocks.
**Non-CO2e effects which may also contribute to aviation induced warming are
not included in this target. United Airlines Inc. commits to report publicly on its
collaboration with stakeholders to improve understanding of opportunities to
mitigate the non-CO2e impacts of aviation annually over its target timeframe.
