Northrop Grumman's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Northrop Grumman reported total carbon emissions of approximately 710,270,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 310,610,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 399,650,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 710,270,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Historically, Northrop Grumman's emissions have fluctuated, with significant figures reported in previous years. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were approximately 704,600,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 704,600,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions also at 704,600,000 kg CO2e. The company has not established documented reduction targets, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, while Northrop Grumman has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of specific reduction commitments raises questions about its long-term climate strategy. The company operates from the US and is part of an industry increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact.
