In addition, several states have adopted or are considering initiatives to regulate GHG emissions, primarily through the planned development of GHG emissions inventories, regional GHG cap and trade programs or low carbon fuel programs. 

We have taken a number of actions that mitigate our GHG emissions and conserve fuel such as: 

• Retiring older aircraft and replacing them with new, more fuel-efficient aircraft; 

• Reducing fuel consumption through our Fuel Smart Program, which is an employee-led effort to safely reduce fuel consumption at American; a similar program is underway to reduce fuel consumption at our regional carriers; 

• Working with the FAA and vendors to facilitate efficient airspace procedures, which also reduces aircraft emissions; 

• Replacing existing cargo containers with lightweight versions; 

• Replacing older, inefficient ground support equipment with new, more fuel-efficient ground support equipment, including alternative- fuel and electric powered equipment; 

• Purchasing renewable energy to reduce indirect emissions; 

• Seeking certification of certain of our buildings to the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard; 

• Entering into discussions with potential vendors to further explore potential production pathways for sustainable alternative jet fuel; and 

• Cooperating with airports and other stakeholders to accelerate the introduction of sustainable alternative fuels

## Impact of Regulatory Requirements on Our Business 

Regulatory requirements, including but not limited to those discussed above, affect operations and increase operating costs for the airline industry, including our airline subsidiaries, and future regulatory developments may continue to do the same in the future. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “ Evolving data security and privacy requirements could increase our costs, and any significant data security incident could disrupt our operations, harm our reputation, expose us to legal risks and otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition,” “If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure throughout our system and, at some airports, adequate slots, we may be unable to operate our existing flight schedule and to expand or change our route network in the future, which may have a material adverse impact on our operations,” “Our business is subject to extensive government regulation, which may result in increases in our costs, disruptions to our operations, limits on our operating flexibility, reductions in the demand for air travel, and competitive disadvantages,” “The airline industry is heavily taxed, ” “We are subject to many forms of environmental and noise regulation and may incur substantial costs as a result” and “We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases” for additional information.
