Delta Airlines

Our Purpose

As a purpose-driven brand, we connect people to opportunities while expanding the understanding of our planet and the people within it. Both in the air and on the ground, we are focused on lowering our carbon footprint, furthering an equitable work environment that values diversity and inclusion and living these values in the communities where we live, work and serve.

Sustainability – Our Flight to Net Zero

Delta’s commitment to sustainability is about joining arms to create a better world as the industry works to reach its sustainability goals.

The global aviation industry is a hard-to-abate sector, meaning it is innately difficult to decarbonize. We expect our path toward achievement of this ambitious climate goal to include fleet, sustainable aviation fuel, operational improvements and offsets. Technological innovation, partnerships and coalitions will be required to help us achieve this goal.

Jet fuel is the No. 1 contributor to Delta’s carbon footprint and the chief focus of our efforts to reduce our emissions and manage our environmental impact.
