We understand how important plastic reduction on board is to our customers and we work closely with suppliers to identify alternatives to single-use plastic items and will always source an alternative if one is available. This aligns with worldwide efforts to keep average global average temperatures below a 1.5C rise. Carbon removal credits are issued by projects that remove CO2from the atmosphere or from the carbon cycle, and the credits are recognised by scientists, governments and regulators as a vital tool in helping to address climate change. We are a signatory to the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce, also known as the Buckingham Palace Declaration. All principal risks are linked to the Group strategic priorities which includes environmental sustainability. We know that investing in carbon reduction projects has a critical interim role to play so it is a central part of our near-term plan that we can deliver now, while alternatives to fossil fuels are developed and new technologies evolve. Note: In June 2020, due to the effects of the global pandemic on air travel, ICAO adjusted the carbon offsetting baseline period used for measuring growth of CO2 emissions under CORSIA.

Qantas Airways announced (07-Dec-2020) it is offering customers the ability to purchase carbon offsets when booking services, with the 'Fly Carbon Neutral' feature available through its NDC-enabled Qantas Distribution Platform (QDP) and available to all travel agents making bookings using the platform. We support the development of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source because we believe it has the potential to enable us to reach true zero emissions on short-haul routes by 2050. We are investing in research and innovation that will deliver solutions to truly decarbonise aviation such as through game-changing zero emissions aircraft, scaling up of carbon capture technology and, through our purchase of high-quality verified carbon reductions, we can direct vital funding into nature-based carbon removal projects that protect valuable ecosystems and biodiversity. Our BA Better World Community Fund, launched in September 2022furthers, the positive work we do within the UK and global communities we fly to and pledges to take positive action in many other areas of our business.
