In a step towards environmental responsibility and nature conservation, Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. has made history by becoming the inaugural airline in Japan to register as a Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) adopter.
This move demonstrates the airline’s commitment to fostering a sustainable future, going beyond the skies to contribute to the conservation and restoration of nature.
Pioneering TNFD Adoption
In March 2023, Japan Airlines actively participated in the TNFD Forum, marking the beginning of its journey towards prioritizing nature-related financial disclosures.
By August 2023, the airline proudly emerged as the trailblazer in Japan, releasing information aligned with TNFD recommendations ahead of its counterparts.
