GHG Accounting
AirAsia X Berhad's GHG accounting for 2023 shows a commendable effort in reporting Scope 1 emissions (960,280 tCO₂e) and partial coverage of Scope 2 (206 tCO₂e) and Scope 3 (200,795 tCO₂e). However, data limitations restrict Scope 2 to the head office and Scope 3 to specific categories like business travel and commuting, lacking broader operational coverage. The absence of third-party verification and unspecified standards (e.g., GHG Protocol) or GWP basis raises concerns about data reliability. Strengths include transparency on data boundaries, but improvements are needed in expanding inventory coverage, adopting recognized standards, and obtaining third-party verification to enhance credibility. Forward-looking commitments to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) adoption are noted as a positive step.

Report Quality
Commendable transparency in AirAsia X Berhad’s 2023 sustainability report 🟢, particularly with detailed GHG emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and partial Scope 3, alongside social metrics like training hours (18,580 for executives) and community investment (MYR 2,190). The integrated report aligns with the GRI framework, providing a structured approach. However, limitations in data coverage (e.g., Scope 2 restricted to head office) and the absence of third-party verification ⚠️ reduce credibility. While forward-looking commitments like Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) adoption are promising, the report lacks specific, measurable targets (e.g., net-zero timelines). Generic statements on ‘sustainability commitment’ need backing with concrete outcomes. To improve, AirAsia X could expand GHG inventory scope, incorporate third-party assurance, and set quantifiable future goals for clearer accountability.
