Commitment to Sustainable Development 2030 Agenda

TAP recognizes the importance of identifying the most significant topics for the creation of value at the Company, which affect its performance in the short, medium and long term, as well as its relationship with society and the planet.

TAP recognizes in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the action plan for the implementation and operationalization of the 2030 Agenda, a collective agreement and a global ambition to preserve the planet and improve the lives of all citizens of the world, combating inequalities, stimulating economic growth, promoting access to better health and education, while combating climate change and preserving ecosystems.

In this sense, TAP values and seeks to actively contribute to the seventeen SDGs, with a special focus on the following: Renewable and Accessible Energy, Climate Action, Sustainable Production and Consumption, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Partnerships for the Implementation of the Objectives, identified as the most relevant and material for the business, considering both the positive impact of its activity as well as the awareness of the negative impact that the Company has the responsibility to mitigate.

The analysis and identification of material topics, considering their impact on the various stakeholders and their contribution to the SDGs, are the basis of focused and consistent actions on goals and objectives, imprinted at the various hierarchical levels, of the various operations and external relations, supporting TAP's path to a more sustainable future.
