(SOURCE: TRAVEL DAILY NEWS)

As the aviation sector faces increasing scrutiny over its environmental footprint, a new era of regulatory and stakeholder accountability is taking shape. Airlines operating in the European Union—and by extension, those serving the EU market—must now comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This directive requires large companies, specifically those with more than 250 employees, to disclose detailed reports on sustainability issues, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
