Safran's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Safran reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 322,046,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, while Scope 3 emissions reached about 66,420,000,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown includes significant contributions from the use of sold products (approximately 63,400,000,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (about 105,000,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 6,642,000,000 kg CO2e). Safran has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and a 50.4% reduction by 2030, both compared to a 2018 baseline. Additionally, the company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across the entire air transport sector by 2050, as part of the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) initiative. For Scope 3 emissions, Safran targets a 42.5% reduction per available seat kilometer by 2035, also based on 2018 levels. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect Safran's commitment to addressing climate change in line with a 1.5°C scenario. The company is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint through innovative technologies, such as the LEAP engine, which has already demonstrated a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to previous engine generations.
