In 2024, GE Aerospace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 283,359,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 261,563,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a staggering 27,860,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions related to the use of sold products. This brings the combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions to about 544,922,000 kg CO2e. In comparison, the 2023 figures showed Scope 1 emissions at approximately 294,537,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 434,056,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at 30,620,000,000 kg CO2e. GE Aerospace has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 2030. They have achieved a notable 43% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) compared to a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, the company is committed to achieving net zero across all scopes by 2050, with specific targets of reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% and Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030, both from a 2022 base year. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are cascaded from their parent company, General Electric Company. GE Aerospace's initiatives reflect a strong commitment to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint in the aerospace industry.
