About the Qantas Climate Fund
The Qantas Climate Fund is dedicated to investing in the development of solutions to support us in meeting our sustainability targets and helping reduce our impact in the air and on the ground.
Air travel is currently not environmentally sustainable, and the path to net zero is uniquely challenging for the aviation sector. Substantial investment and support are needed to develop and scale the solutions our industry will require to meet its climate ambition. The Fund represents the Group's recognition that as Australia's national carrier, we have a crucial role to play in helping reduce the environmental impact of the aviation sector in Australia.
Investment priorities
At its core, the Qantas Climate Fund is anchored to the Qantas Group Strategic Plan to build a strong business aligned to our Sustainability Framework and the commitments we have made in our Climate Action Plan
The Qantas Climate Fund investment priorities tie directly to supporting our ambition and targets
Sustainable aviation fuel
Providing seed funding and encouraging further industry investment to increase supply and secure access of SAF at Australian and strategic international ports.
Carbon projects
Investing in projects to help scale and secure access to carbon credits that meet our internal requirements for quality and integrity.
Carbon removal technology
Investment in technology-based carbon removal solutions to hep strengthen the supply of aviation fuel and carbon credits.
Operational efficiency and waste
Work with partners to increase access to solutions to drive progress against operational efficiency and waste targets.
How we invest and partner
The Fund's focus is to support the development and scaling of solutions that fall within the investment priorities, including through:
- direct investment in relevant technologies and projects,
- investment in managed funds with a clear nexus to our targets, and
- relevant research and development partnerships.
We recognise addressing climate change requires collaborative and collective action. Through the Qantas Climate Fund, we'll also look to leverage partnerships to develop and scale the solutions we need, such as the existing Qantas-Airbus Australian Sustainable Aviation Fuel Partnership, which will be a central part of the Qantas Climate Fund.
