Why easyJet lands here

Efficient short-haul base and charity activity, but thin on SAF and contrails.

0best in the world: 78.5100

That is 34.2 points behind the best-scoring carrier in the world, which itself only reaches 78.5. No carrier reaches 80, and 13 of 32 score below half marks.

What this score is built from

Eight decision areas, weighted by what moves emissions now

Each area is graded against what easyJet publishes, then scaled by how well that work is evidenced. Contrail avoidance carries the same weight as sustainable aviation fuel, because both are available today.

Where the points are

55.7 of the 100 points are still on the table for easyJet. The three largest sit here:

  • 23.8

    Contrail avoidance and non-CO₂ action

    1.2 of 25 earned

  • 11.5

    SAF deployment and market-building

    13.5 of 25 earned

  • 8.1

    Customer participation, checkout donation, and sustainability access

    1.9 of 10 earned

  • SAF deployment and market-building

    SAF

    13.5 / 25

    rough grade 3 of 5Bevidence ×0.9011.5 points still available

    SAF and contrails remain relatively thin areas in the public scoring base.

  • Contrail avoidance and non-CO₂ action

    Contrails

    1.2 / 25

    rough grade 0.5 of 5Eevidence ×0.3523.8 points still available

    Public contrail-avoidance action is thin or absent, which now carries a large scoring cost.

  • Fleet efficiency and operational decarbonization

    Ops

    9.9 / 12

    rough grade 4.5 of 5Bevidence ×0.902.1 points still available

    Fleet renewal and operating-efficiency work are visible and material.

  • Climate governance and transparency

    Governance

    7.3 / 10

    rough grade 4 of 5Bevidence ×0.902.7 points still available

    Public reporting is strong enough to compare targets, governance structure, and climate claims across reporting cycles.

  • Customer participation, checkout donation, and sustainability access

    Customer

    1.9 / 10

    rough grade 1.5 of 5Devidence ×0.658.1 points still available

    Customer-facing climate participation is limited, hard to find, or not embedded in the booking path.

  • Ground operations, waste, and circularity

    Ground

    2.7 / 6

    rough grade 2.5 of 5Bevidence ×0.903.3 points still available

    There is some evidence of ground or waste action, but the public detail remains limited.

  • Community and nonprofit investment

    Community

    3.9 / 6

    rough grade 5 of 5Devidence ×0.652.1 points still available

    easyJet's community and charity profile is stronger than its SAF or contrail profile, which keeps it from ranking lower overall.

  • Climate advocacy and sector collaboration

    Advocacy

    3.9 / 6

    rough grade 5 of 5Devidence ×0.652.1 points still available

    There is some visible collaboration or policy positioning, but not enough to set the carrier apart.

Evidence codes

  • A×1.00Current quantified disclosure or clearly documented live program.
  • B×0.90Good disclosure with small limits.
  • C×0.80Older-cycle, group-level, proxy, or incomplete quantified evidence.
  • D×0.65Fragmented or partial proxy evidence.
  • E×0.35No credible public evidence; floor only.

Grades are recorded to the nearest half point, so the published pillar score is the authoritative figure and the grade is a rounded description of it. Evidence quality for easyJet overall is rated medium.

If you work at easyJet

We can tell you which points are cheapest to win

Two of the eight areas, booking-path participation and published uptake, are the ones our own real-money research speaks to directly: a redesigned donation step roughly doubled giving across three carriers, with no cost in brand favorability or booking intent.
