We are committed to support and promote the principles of the ‘UN Global Compact’ in our strategy day-to-day practice. Therefore, we require our suppliers to conform to our Air France-KLM Supplier Code of Conduct which sets out the standards and behavior we endorse in relation to ethics, social and environmental principles. It also forms part of Air France – KLM’s contracts.
Our policy is to have suppliers with a high ESG risk profile and critical suppliers assessed by Ecovadis. As part of our decarbonization ambition, we require our high emitting suppliers to do a CDP assessment. Furthermore, we encourage our key suppliers to sign up for the Science Based targets.

Air France - KLM, with Delta Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and Transavia, have launched the EcoVadis Sustainable Airline initiative, a group of commercial aviation companies aimed at accelerating sustainability performance throughout the industry's value chain and promoting supply chain transparency.
This initiative's goal is to establish a single standard for the ethical, social, and environmental performance of the airline industry, which would enable easy sharing of results, exchange of ideas, and focus on important sustainability topics within the airline value chain.
If you want to learn more about the EcoVadis Sustainable Airline initiative, we invite you to watch the recording of the Sector Initiatives' annual conference: When Leaders Commit to Go Further.
The Sustainable Airlines Sector Initiative has provided AF KLM Procurement with opportunities to work with other companies, such as the IAEG WG11 since it brings together many of our key suppliers in an associated industry. By sharing experiences and best practices, we can amplify the positive impact of sustainable Procurement in our value chain. Learn about the IAEG WG11 « International Aerospace Environmental Group »
Air France-KLM has taken challenging and important steps to reach Science Based CO2 emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate agreement, and the IATA ambition to make flying net zero in 2050. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
Making the carbon footprint of our joint supply chain more visible is a key element of this commitment. Our goal is to build a common understanding of CO2 footprint of our supply chains and align our plans for carbon reduction strategies.
Our policy is to evaluate the suppliers with the highest CO2 emissions by CDP Climate module. This CDP assessment provides valuable insight into carbon emissions, carbon reduction strategies and risks. The outcome of the CDP assessment is part of Air France-KLM's procurement strategy for targeted suppliers.
CDP ratings are of great value to Air France-KLM and to the long-term viability of our integrated airline supply chain, where you play a key role.

Science-based targets provide companies with a clearly-defined path to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals. More than 4,000 businesses around the world are already working with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
We encourage our suppliers to sign up for the Science Based Targets initiative.
