Cathay Pacific has published its Sustainability Report 2025, illustrating notable advancements in its environmental initiatives. The airline reports a nearly 180% increase in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) usage, supported by strategic investments including a co-investment with Airbus and funding to the oneworld BEV Fund. These efforts aim to reduce the airline's carbon footprint and support the aviation industry's decarbonization goals.
Furthermore, Cathay has made progress in reducing onboard plastics, lowering passenger-facing SUP items to an average of 1.7 pieces per passenger, with a target of 1.5 pieces by mid-2026. The airline sources 50% of its remaining SUPs from recycled plastics and has expanded its inflight bottle recycling program across its network. These measures reflect its commitment to reducing environmental impact onboard and in operations.
Community and Social Responsibility
The report also highlights Cathay's youth engagement through the "I Can Fly" program, which has involved over 1,550 students. Its diversity and inclusion initiatives, such as Belonging@Cathay, demonstrate a broader commitment to community development and workforce diversity.
Overall, the report underscores Cathay's dedication to sustainable growth and environmental responsibility, aligning its operational strategies with regional and global sustainability standards. The full details of these initiatives are available in the company's comprehensive report.
