CARBON OFFSET PROGRAM ANA introduced a Carbon Offset Program in 2009 for all domestic routes. This program involves CO2 offset activities that enable passengers to voluntarily provide money for the forestation activities that cultivate the forests required to absorb the CO2 emitted by the aircraft in which they travel. The program provides a simple mechanism for zeroing out CO2 emissions in cooperation with an incorporated association called “more trees.”

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) Adopted by the United Nations to achieve a sustainable society on a global level, the 193 member states have set common goals to be achieved by 2030. ANA has implemented the following initiatives; cabin attendants and airport staff will wear SDGs badges to help raise broader awareness about SDGs. A special SDGs channel will show videos on international flights. ANA will continue their contribution to achieving SDGs and creating a brighter future through activities in various fields.
FOREST OF THE HEART PROJECT
CORAL CONSERVATION PROJECT
Since July 2012, ANA has been undertaking the ‘ANA Forest of the Heart Project’ to support their goals for environmental preservation and reconstruction in Minamisanriku, Miyagi Prefecture. About 70 ANA Group employee volunteers gathered from across Japan. They experienced making goods from trees harvested from forest regeneration and thinning. By thinning trees and doing other maintenance, sunlight can shine into the forest and rich soil can be generated, which leads to protecting forest creatures and ecosystems.
ANA formed Team Tyura Sango, a coral conservation project, which engages with companies from both Okinawa and elsewhere that have signed onto the conservation project.
Participation: 239 ANA Mileage Club (AMC) Member accounts (717,000 miles)
The team, which saw its 15th anniversary in 2018, is comprised of 18 firms as of 2019, and has the cooperation of related parties in Okinawa, as well as the support of bodies such as the Ministry of the Environment, the Okinawa prefectural government, and the Onna Village municipal government. The project also enjoys donations from ANA Mileage Club members. This support allows the team to carry out five yearly coral fragment transplanting events and educational activities to raise awareness for treating the formerly-vibrant coral reefs with great care.

We received this honor in recognition of our commitment to social responsibility. ANA supports and conducts awareness activities for COOL CHOICE, a program led by the (MTE) to take measures against global warming. Further, we participated in the Plastics Smart forum, this forum is another initiative of the (MTE) aiming to reduce marine plastic litter.
TARGETS & RESULTS TARGET: Reduce CO2 emissions per revenue ton kilometer (kg-CO2/RTK, total for domestic and international routes) by 20% before FY March 2021. RESULT: Reduced volume 23% in FY March 2019 compared to FY March 2006. TARGET: Reduce total office energy consumption 1% per year (compliance with the Revised Act on the Rational Use of Energy). RESULT: Reduced by 3.9% year on year per cost unit. TARGET: Adopt low-emissions vehicles.
Evaluation by CDP seeks to disclose data and information about company’s strategy related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate. As of 2016, ANA has categorised its greenhouse gas emissions into Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in accordance with the standards set by the Act on the Rational Use of Energy. This environmental data has been certified by third parties and disclosed. Our rating in 2018 was B. (The industry average is C).
ANA received a Gold Class rating for the second consecutive year in the Sustainability Award 2019 conducted by RobecoSAM, an international investment company which assesses companies in sustainability. Each year, RobecoSAM evaluates corporate sustainability based on three factors – economic, environmental, and social criteria and assigns Gold, Silver, and Bronze ratings to companies that have a particularly strong track record.

Share on social media: Show your support by simply sharing the BLUE WING website or articles on social media. 1 share = 15 wings.
BLUE WING CHANGEMAKERS
OUR FUEL-EFFICIENT BOEING 787
Jack Sim is one of BLUE WING’s Changemakers and the founder of the World Toilet Organization (WTO). He is on a mission to build and improve toilets all around the world. With 15% of the world still practicing open defecation and 40% not having access to basic hand-washing facilities.
The 787 aircraft, which Boeing developed in cooperation with ANA and for which they were the launch customer, offers high environmental performance thanks to innovation in engine performance and weight reduction made possible through the use of carbon fiber composite materials. The Boeing 787 offers approximately 20% better fuel efficiency than the Boeing 767. ANA currently has 71 of the Boeing 787 aircraft in service.
In India, Jack’s WTO started a World Toilet College to educate locals such as sanitation workers on the importance of good hygiene. By introducing proper machinery and protocols, not only is the training improving the lives of sanitation workers but is also up-scaling the workers and pushing up their wages.

IN-FLIGHT INITIATIVES
REDUCING WASTE
REDUCING WASTE
BIOFUEL
Energy efficient descent method, descending continuously from the start of descent to landing, without leveling off, is effective in reducing CO2 emissions and noise. We are expanding the practice at targeted airports, beginning with late-night and earlymorning flights at Kansai International Airport.
RECYCLING OF UNIFORMS
REUSABLE MATERIALS FOR HEADREST COVERS
Used uniforms of cabin attendants, ground staff and flight crews are returned to their original fiber and reused as automotive acoustic absorption materials. In addition, the uniforms themselves are made from materials produced from PET bottles and other recyclables.
ANA has changed seat headrest covers in cabin from disposable non-woven fabric to a reusable material, to contribute to the reduction of waste.
In April 2012, ANA conducted the world’s first Trans-Pacific flight with an aircraft running on biofuel. The Boeing 787 flight used conventional jet fuel containing a 15% mixture of biofuel derived mainly from used cooking oil. The flight achieved a 30% reduction in CO2 compared with the Boeing 767.
RNAV NAVIGATION ANA introduced RNAV navigation, which uses radio navigation facilities, satellite and on-board equipment to determine an aircraft’s position and fly it along the scheduled flight path. Compared with conventional navigation, RNAV enables faster and shorter flights, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
REUSE AND RECYCLING OF LUGGAGE WRAPPING BAGS In September 2010, ANA began reusing and recycling plastic bags used to wrap customer items such as luggage and baby cars at Haneda Airport. The initiative is now being expanded to all airports where ANA operates.
AIRCRAFT, GROUND AND IN-FLIGHT • Clean engine parts using ultra-high pressure water to reduce the use of cleaning agents. • Recycle aircraft engine parts and aluminum cast off used in repairs. • Process rainwater and kitchen waste water. • Drink and salad bowl cups made from recyclable plastic. • Sorted collection and recycling of bottles, cans & plastic bottles. • Closed loop recycling of magazines and other paper products.
In January 2019, ANA selected sustainable aviation fuel from World Energy for use in ANA airplanes at San Francisco International Airport. Sustainable aviation fuel has already been introduced at Los Angeles International Airport and is regularly used on ANA flights. “At ANA, we are inspired by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to ‘build a better world for people and our planet’. Adopting sustainable aviation fuel is just one step in the fight against climate change, and ANA will continue looking for ways to give back to the planet that we all depend on” Naoto Takada, Executive Vice President of ANA.
