1 SAS and the environment

2 Europe's most punctual 2011 third year in row SAS: Denmark Sweden Norway + Widerøe Finland Blue1 In brief: Revenue 38 mia SEK 34 countries employees 30 mio passengers Mio tons fuel per year: SAS: Fuel1,2/CO2=3,7 Aviation global: Fuel 250/CO2=787 SAS and the environment /2

3 The global environmental challenge Challenges: Greenhouse gas emissions are an effect of airline operations Today aviation 2% of global CO 2 emissions Air travel is expanding (over time) Critical opinion and media Facts about aviation: represents 8% of global GNP generates 32 million jobs worldwide is a safe, global mass transit system Connecting people, business and goodwill SAS and the environment /3

4 Aviation s Contribution to CO 2 Emissions Our carbon footprint is small but growing Global CO 2 Emissions From 2% today to 3% in 2050 (IPCC) if business as usal SAS and the environment /4 Source: IPPC/WRI

5 Technological progress Strong industry track record Over the last 40 years Soot has been eliminated Noise reduced 75% Fuel efficiency improved 70% Further 25% by 2020 ATA 30% by 2025 SAS and the environment /5

8 Targets 20% lower flight emissions by 2015-traffic growth incl. 50% lower flight emissions per unit produced, by 2020 SAS goal is to blend in as much biofuel as possible when certified and commercially available SAS and the environment /8

11 Fuel savings SAS activities: Speed policy: Securing optimal speed in all flight phases to ensure optimal fuel efficiency. Weight reduction: Such as reducing weight through taking varying amounts of water in the aircraft water tanks, depending on the length of the flight. Lower air resistance: Such as landing with reduced flap setting, permitting flaps to be pulled in earlier on takeoff in order to reduce fuel consumption. Clean aircraft and engines: Regular engines cleaning provide lower fuel consumption. Single engine taxiing: Starting or shutting down an engine before or after landing to reduce fuel consumption. Weight and balance: Ensuring that the aircraft is optimally loaded. On-ground processes: Ensuring that the aircraft engines are used as little as possible around the gate. New flight planning system: During 2012, a new flight planning system will be implemented to permit more efficient flight plans. Punctuality: Less fuel, less waiting time, better coordination Webinars: Ticketless, mobile, kiosks, social media, iris or fingerprint In early 2012, a new system support will be implemented to follow up on resolved activities and to identify new ones. All activities are followed up through audits, inspections, evaluations and line checks, within the framework of the environmental management system. SAS and the environment /11

12 Sustainable alternative fuel SAS goal to blend in so much sustainable biofuel as pos when it s commercial available Dialogue with current suppliers about a sustainable future Make requirement for future sustainable supplies In tenders, - require a percentage of sustainable biofuel..on the agenda:. we will prioritize suppliers who can deliver the highest amount of sustainable biofuel!

13 CSR on sustainable aviation fuel Sustainability is key Not just a word - but a safeguard for a growing future aviation Push for solid sustainability criteria for biomass and processes Total sustainable supply chains>feedstock, refinery, production etc Sufficient Life Cycle Analysis Encourage the development and adoption of a global sustainability standard (RSB) SAFUG Exhibit minimal impact on biodiversity Meet a sustainability standard with respect to land, water, and energy use Do not displace or compete with food crops Provide a positive socioeconomic impact Do not require any special fuel handling equipment, distribution systems, or changes to engine design SAS and the environment /13
