Direct Lobbying Transparency

Comprehensive | Jet2 PLC offers a high degree of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It explicitly names a suite of measures it seeks to influence, including the development of the UK Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate, the “Revenue Certainty Mechanism” for SAF, proposals for the “UK Emissions Trading Scheme: future markets policy,” reforms to Air Traffic Management through the UK Airspace Modernisation Strategy and the EU’s Single European Sky initiative, as well as its engagement on CORSIA and the existing UK and EU ETS. The company also sets out how it lobbies: executives “regularly engage with senior representatives of the UK government and regulatory bodies,” it “has actively contributed to policy consultations,” and it leverages membership of Airlines for Europe, Sustainable Aviation and the Jet Zero Council to press its case with both “the UK Government and the European Union,” thereby showing both direct and association-based methods aimed at identified public-sector targets. Finally, Jet2 is clear about what it wants those policies to achieve, calling on governments to “upscale … investment in SAF by delivering on the RCM,” to ring-fence UK ETS revenues for decarbonisation, to “work multilaterally with governments across Europe to implement Air Traffic Management reforms” delivering an 8 % emissions saving, and to “support airport operators and remove obstacles to upgrading to electrical infrastructure.” This combination of named policies, detailed engagement routes and concrete desired outcomes demonstrates comprehensive disclosure of the company’s climate-related lobbying activities. | 4 |
