London, 23 January 2025 – PA Consulting (PA), the global innovation and transformation consultancy, has signed an agreement with Future Energy Global (FEG), the innovative Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) ecosystem builder and production accelerator, to help compensate for carbon emissions related to PA’s business travel.
The aviation industry has committed to reaching net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, and SAF is expected to contribute around two thirds of the necessary emissions reduction, but to achieve this, its production quantities need to scale more than 400-fold.
Under the agreement, FEG has retired a tranche of Scope 3 Credits derived from airlines’ use of SAF to compensate for a share of PA’s 2024 carbon emissions related to its business travel. PA’s aviation experts work across the industry to create opportunity from the rapidly evolving complexities facing the sector today, helping airlines and airports to improve their strategic, commercial, and operational performance. FEG and PA will work together on future innovative ways to reduce aviation emissions.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol defines different “scopes” of responsibility for emissions. The emissions from a flight fall under an airline’s “Scope 1” direct responsibility, but a company with staff flying for business on that flight is responsible for its staff’s share of the flight’s emissions under “Scope 3” (indirect emissions). When forward-looking companies like PA purchase and retire SAF-derived Scope 3 credits, they mitigate the added cost of SAF to airlines and thus enable the faster scale-up of SAF production.
Kata Cserep, global aviation lead at PA Consulting, says: “Sustainability is at the heart of PA’s purpose, and we are delighted to support Future Energy Global’s innovative SAF-based credits. This not only allows us to compensate for a share of our Scope 3 emissions but also to contribute towards developing innovative approaches to helping achieve a more sustainable world.”
“If we’re to achieve the industry’s common goal of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, stakeholders up and down the value chain need to collaborate,” said Future Energy Global CEO Natasha Mann. “We’re proud that world-leading companies like PA Consulting are making sustainability and climate action central to their operations and joining our sustainable aviation ecosystem, which is bringing together more and more lessors, airlines, SAF producers, and corporate clients.”
