LATAM Cargo Group reports 2025 sustainability results

  • The results reported at the close of 2025 reflect sustained work that translated into operational decisions, investments, and partnerships aimed at generating tangible environmental and social impact within the air cargo industry.

December 2025. LATAM Cargo Group closed 2025 with concrete progress in its sustainability agenda, reporting measurable results in climate change management, circular economy, and shared value creation. These advances reflect the integration of environmental and social criteria into the Group’s operations, as well as its collaborative work with customers and strategic partners throughout the year.

This performance is the result of a path the company has been building consistently over time, through operational decisions, investments, and partnerships focused on delivering tangible environmental and social impact within the air cargo industry.

Climate change management: solutions developed jointly with customers

In 2025, the Group’s cargo affiliates took a significant step forward by implementing their first integrated CO₂ emissions management solution in collaboration with a customer, Logiztik Alliance Group. This initiative combined the use of the environmental attribute of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through the Book & Claim mechanism with the 1+1: Compensate to Conserve program, under which LATAM finances 50% of the cost of carbon credits.

As part of this process, the procurement, management, and commercialization of SAF were audited and verified by Normec Verifavia, ensuring traceability of the environmental attribute and confirming that LATAM Cargo operates under internationally recognized standards. This allows the company to offer customers transparent, reliable solutions aligned with their own sustainability commitments.

Circular economy: operational efficiency with measurable impact

LATAM Cargo Group continued advancing circular economy initiatives across its operations. Since 2023, the company has reduced more than 280 tons of plastic through redesign and material substitution projects and has recycled close to 780 tons of plastic waste.

Between 2023 and 2025, eleven plastic-reduction initiatives were implemented in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Miami, eliminating 112 tons of plastic in 2025 alone.

A key milestone during the year was the implementation of a ULD net recycling and recovery project at the Santiago maintenance base. This initiative increased landfill diversion by 12 percentage points. Since its launch in August 2025, 30 tons of material were recovered in just three months, with a projected monthly recycling volume of approximately 7.5 tons.

Shared value: logistics serving communities

Through the  Solidarity Plane program, LATAM Cargo Group and its affiliates continued to make their cargo and passenger networks available free of charge for initiatives related to health, environmental protection, and emergency response.

Between 2021 and 2025, more than 3,600 tons of humanitarian cargo were transported at no cost, benefiting over 17,000 people and supporting close to 50 organizations across multiple countries in the region.

In 2025, the response following Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica stood out. In less than one week, LATAM Cargo activated the Solidarity Plane program and coordinated a special charter flight to a destination without regular cargo operations, in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and Kuehne+Nagel, enabling the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to affected communities.
