As part of the corporate sustainability assessment, LATAM achieved 100% scores for 'efficiency', 'reliability' and 'climate strategy', and was the only airline group in the world to achieve this score in this final category.

"As an airline group, we are committed to incorporating sustainable thinking and practices into every aspect of the business, not only to deliver value for our passengers, shareholders and partners, but also for the communities in which we operate. As part of this commitment, we will continue to advocate sustainable tourism to support the social and economic development of Latin America as well as the preservation of its cultural and natural heritage."
