AIRINC’s Ongoing Commitment to Sustainability

Tracking and managing our environmental impact remains a core priority for AIRINC as we continue working toward our long-term sustainability goals, including a commitment to reducing our emissions by 30% by 2030 with Science Based Target Initiatives (SBTi).

Since establishing our emissions baseline in 2018 and committing to reduce our footprint, we have focused on consistent, data driven measurement to better understand where our emissions come from and how they change as our business evolves. 

How We Measure Our Emissions

Our reporting centers on scope 2 and 3 emissions, which together represent our environmental footprint. Due to the nature of our work, our firm does not produce Scope 1 emissions. Scope 2 includes emissions associated with the electricity we use across office spaces and remote work, while Scope 3 captures indirect activities such as business travel and employee commuting. In tracking these categories, we monitor factors such as office energy use, remote work, travel activity, and commuting trends to better understand the drivers behind our emissions.

Scope 2 Emissions: Continued Progress Across Offices

In 2025 our total scope 2 emissions across all offices declined by 17% compared to 2024 and are now 12% below our 2018 baseline. This reduction is largely driven by fewer employees regularly working in physical office spaces, along with a continued shift toward more efficient, cloud-based servers.

Scope 3 Emissions: Growth in Business Travel, Still Below Baseline

Our scope 3 emissions, on the other hand, rose by 33% compared to 2024. This increase is primarily due to a rise in business travel as we continue to grow post-pandemic. As in person meetings, research efforts and client engagement continue to expand, travel activity grew in 2025. Even with this increase, scope 3 emissions remain 67% below our 2018 levels, keeping us in line with our goals.

Looking Ahead

Though total emissions increased by 14% year over year, our long-term progress remains strong. Since 2018, AIRINC has reduced its emissions by 60%, achieving our goal of a 30% reduction by 2030. We will continue to build on this progress through ongoing efforts to further reduce emissions. As our business evolves, we will continue to monitor these trends and use our data to better understand the key drivers of our emissions.
