Significant events
- “During 2024, the entity's carbon emissions was recorded at 3,112 tonnes of CO2e for scope 1, fossil fuels, and 48 tonnes of CO2e for scope 2, electricity. This resulted in a total of 3,160 tonnes of C02e for 2024 which represents a 33% decrease in consumption when compared to 2023 levels. This was driven by the introduction of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) in the year as an alternative to diesel as interim step to reduce emissions from the motorised fleet while the GSE fleet undergoes conversion to electric.”
- “Exceptional costs in the current year relate to the 40% deferred portion of the long-term company incentive plans that have now vested as a result of the acquisition of Menzies Aviation by Agility.”
