Taiwan’s leading airline, EVA Air, announced new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) procurement agreements with multiple providers, showing their commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.
“Not a Choice But a Responsibility”
EVA Air announced on 24 April 2025 their signing of SAF procurement agreements with 3 providers, including a local Taiwanese fuel provider, Formosa Petrochemical Corporation, US-based Associated Energy Group, LLC (AEG FUELS), and Japanese provider COSMO Oil Marketing Co., Ltd. (COSMO).
When talking about the introduction of SAF to the airline, Clay Van, the airline’s president, highlights that this is the airline’s act to fulfil their corporate social responsibility:
Our bilateral collaborations with AEG FUELS, COSMO, and Formosa Petrochemical Corporation reflect our commitment to net-zero emissions. By actively introducing SAF across our global network, we are reducing our operational carbon footprint and fostering transformation and growth throughout the aviation supply chain.
SAF and Corporate Social Responsibility: New Chapter in the Aviation Industry
The airline’s decision leads the Taiwan Aviation industry into a new chapter of aviation, focusing on how to reduce the carbon footprint while ensuring increased connectivity across the globe. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is one option besides increasing fuel efficiency.
While aviation is one of the biggest carbon emitters globally, different airlines have started to use SAF for their aircraft. The establishment of the SAF Registry also helps monitor the global trade of SAF.
