GRI reporting & performance data
A framework for our ESG reporting
Environmental, social and governance reporting enables us to achieve greater transparency about our performance on a variety of issues. It acts as a complement to our financial reporting, providing our stakeholders with a more holistic view of our future financial performance. We use the Global Reporting Initiative as the framework for our sustainability performance reporting.
At Airbus, we voluntarily report on environmental, social and governance issues using the Global Reporting Initiative standards as a tool to disclose our sustainability data with transparency. This data has been externally audited since 2010.
In addition, we have been a signatory of the UN Global Compact since 2003. This voluntary initiative helps us to align our corporate strategy and business operations with the UN Global Compact's "Ten Principles" relating to human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.
You can find links to information disclosure associated with each of the UN Global Compact principles in the box below. The Airbus Annual Report also serves as our UN Global Compact “Communication on Progress” report.
The Global Reporting Initiative is the most widely adopted global sustainability reporting standard. We began taking the GRI standard into account in 2003 to better understand our impact on environmental, social and governance issues.
Below is our GRI index, which indicates to what extent we take certain GRI indicators into account and where each indicator can be identified. For some indicators, we also refer to our Registration Document in the Airbus Annual Report. The non-financial information can be found in the chapter 1.2, pages 50-76.
This table, whose aspects are material for Airbus and our stakeholders, follows the GRI Standards Guidelines, in accordance with the “core” option.

* 2019 data audited by Ernst & Young et Associés. 2019 data covers 92% of total group employees.
** 2018 baseline has been recalculated to integrate changes in accounting methodology (emission factors & exclusion of close loop water consumption in Donauwörth).
Electricity Emission factors updated according to IEA 2018 v1.01 for 2019 data and IEA 2017 v1.03 for 2018 data.
Sites A220 FAL in Mirabel, Canada, Satair Copenhagen, Ashburn & Miami, AH Oxford, ATR Francazal, are included in 2019 according to reporting rules.
*** Oversize emissions cover transport of large and non standards shipments. Values cover aircraft commercial activities and are estimated.
**** 2019 VOC emissions data is estimated and 2018 data actualised. The accurate 2019 data will be consolidated and available during March 2019.
***** Number of sites covered by the environmental reporting which are certified ISO 14001.
****** Airbus environmental reporting guidelines include sites worldwide with a workforce on-site higher or equal to 50 employees. Note that only 100% consolidated entities are taken into account to calculate this 50 employee threshold. Coverage varies from 92% to 93% for waste, water, heat & refrigerants indicators.
