Qantas has been listed among the world"s most sustainable businesses in rankings based on environmental, economic and social criteria.
The company is the second airline to be added to the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index after Air France-KLM.
It was also confirmed as the only Australian carrier on the Dow Jones Asia Pacific Sustainability Index for the third year in a row.
Olivia Wirth, Qantas executive for government and corporate affairs, said the rankings reflect the airline"s "strong commitment to good corporate citizenship" and its support of charities and community initiatives.
She also noted that the group has a "comprehensive environmental strategy" focusing on issues such as fleet renewal, fuel efficiency and the development of sustainable fuels.
"All these things are considered by Dow Jones in putting together their sustainability index, as well as economic categories such as corporate governance and risk management," added Ms Wirth.
"We are delighted to have been included on the world index for the first time and we remain focused on ensuring that we operate sustainably in all areas of the group."
Qantas is also focusing on improving the customer experience, with a trial of new inflight entertainment technology set to be launched next month.
