Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Air Lease Corporation (ALC) shows a mixed ethical record. While offering employees above-market pay and $0 premium health insurance, Glassdoor reviews allege a "toxic and politically charged culture," "strict no-WFH policy," and "expectations of 24/7 work" from management. Environmentally, ALC mitigated 100% of unavoidable Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in 2024 and achieved a 17% reduction in gCO2 per Available Seat Kilometer over the past decade. Its headquarters is LEED GOLD certified. However, critics note a lack of specific SBTi targets and unverified manufacturer estimates for fuel efficiency. Many other ethical areas lack sufficient public data.
