In August 2021, Embraer unveiled its ESG targets as part of the company’s efforts to ensure a sustainable future.

The company set a 2040 target for carbon-neutral operations and a 2025 target for 100% green electricity.

It also unveiled plans to increase the usage of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and revealed its aim to develop low-carbon technologies and products.
