More than ever, rigorous management of ESG risks and opportunities is critical to the success of American Airlines and to the health of our planet. We have long recognized their importance and have developed an integrated and transparent approach to ESG management, measurement and reporting. That said, there’s always room for improvement, and we continue to look to best practices within and outside our industry as we refine and strengthen our policies, practices and disclosures.
Our ESG strategy is focused on the issues that are most important to our company and our stakeholders. We periodically conduct formal ESG materiality assessment processes that serve as the foundation of our analysis of areas of risk and opportunity. And, through ongoing engagement across our company and with a broad range of external stakeholders, we validate and, as needed, refine our assessment based on the input we receive and changes in our operating environment.
