Airbus Defence and Space SA's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Airbus SE

Airbus Defence and Space SA, headquartered in Spain (ES), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Airbus SE, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While no direct emissions data is available, Airbus Defence and Space SA is aligned with the climate initiatives of its parent company, Airbus SE. This includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other sustainability frameworks, which aim to establish robust reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Airbus Defence and Space SA have not been disclosed. As part of its corporate family, Airbus Defence and Space SA may inherit climate commitments and performance metrics from Airbus SE, which is actively engaged in reducing its carbon footprint across its operations. The absence of specific emissions data suggests that the company is still in the process of developing its own detailed climate strategy or reporting framework. In summary, while Airbus Defence and Space SA does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is positioned within a larger corporate structure that prioritises climate action and sustainability through initiatives cascaded from Airbus SE.
