The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. Wizz Air has not set any near-term or long-term reduction targets and is not committed to achieving net-zero emissions. Previous commitments to reduction targets have been removed, reflecting a lack of formalised climate pledges. The airline operates from its headquarters in Hungary and is part of the air transportation sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact. The airline's emissions intensity per revenue passenger kilometre (RPK) was reported at 0.047 kg CO2e in 2025, demonstrating ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency. However, without specific reduction targets, Wizz Air's future climate strategy remains unclear.
