About the Qantas Climate Fund
The Qantas Climate Fund is aimed at investing in the development of solutions to support us in meeting our climate targets and reducing our impact in the air and on the ground.
The path to net zero is uniquely challenging for the aviation sector. Substantial investment and support are needed to develop and scale the solutions our industry will require to meet its climate ambition. The Fund represents the Group's recognition that as Australia's national carrier, we have a crucial role to play in helping to reduce the environmental impact of the aviation sector in Australia.
Investment priorities
The Qantas Climate Funds mandate focuses on investments in:
- Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF),
- Nature-based carbon projects that meet internal quality and integrity requirements,
- Carbon removal technologies and projects, and
- Operational efficiency and waste reduction initiatives.
The Qantas Climate Fund investment priorities tie directly to supporting our ambition and targets
Sustainable aviation fuel

Nature-based solutions
Secure access to carbon credits that meet our internal requirements for integrity and quality, with a focus on biodiversity and social co-benefits.
Carbon removal technology
Catalyse supply and secure access to mechanical carbon removal solutions.
Operational efficiency and waste reduction

How we invest and partner
The Fund's focus is to support the development and scaling of solutions that fall within the investment priorities, including through:
- direct investment in relevant technologies and projects,
- investment in managed funds with a clear nexus to our targets, and
- relevant research and development partnerships.
We recognise addressing climate change requires collaborative and collective action. Through the Qantas Climate Fund, we'll also look to leverage partnerships to develop and scale the solutions we need, such as the existing Qantas-Airbus Australian Sustainable Aviation Fuel Partnership, which will be a central part of the Qantas Climate Fund.
