IAG aligns its climate risk disclosures with the European Sustainability Reporting Standard framework, which is aligned to the latest guidance and standards available under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 1 and IFRS 2 sustainability standards (which adopted the TCFD recommendations in July 2023), as well as the UK’s Listing Rules.
IAG discloses the organisation's governance around climate-related risks and opportunities.
Current activities
Board oversight via SECR Committee and Audit and Compliance Committee; multiple layers of robust governance; 2024 materiality assessment still relevant and so not updated.
Planned future activities
Review assurance, repeating materiality assessment annually.
IAG discloses how the organisation identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks.
Current activities
Sustainable aviation risks are treated as a principal risk and regularly reviewed within Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) processes; risk disclosures received an 'A' rating from CDP.
Planned future activities
More detailed work on risk impacts to 2030 and 2040, actions to maximise climate resilience, and risk mitigation KPIs.

Delivery against existing targets, review 2030 targets in line with latest evidence on 1.5°C-aligned transitions.
Case studies
In September 2025, IAG participated in the Series B funding round for OXCCU, a UK-based SAF innovator, and invested alongside oneworld alliance member airlines in BEV, to launch a new investment fund designed to address the limited availability and high cost of todays SAF.
In April 2025, IAG extended our co-funded purchase agreement for SAF with Microsoft by five years, increasing the volume of SAF by 39,000 tonnes (equating to a reduction in lifecycle carbon emissions by approximately 112,000tCO2). Iberia also launched a dedicated SAF initiative designed to promote collaboration among its corporate customers.
In 2025, the Group worked with RECARO under IAG’s Supplier Engagement Programme, focusing on the end-of-life treatment of our seats. A joint aircraft seat shredder trial was conducted to evaluate different recycling processes for RECARO-produced seats. Several recycling and transportation scenarios were also compared.
IAG has used this information to identify opportunities to work with suppliers to increase the recycling of materials across the supply chain, which can reduce emissions associated with the end-of-life disposal of aircraft seats in IAGs Scope 3 emissions footprint and support delivery of the Groups targets.
