Arianespace S.A.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Airbus SE

Arianespace S.A., headquartered in France, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of Safran SA, which influences its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Arianespace S.A. does not have its own documented reduction targets, it inherits climate initiatives from its parent company, Safran SA. This includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with global climate goals. The specific targets and achievements from these initiatives are cascaded down to Arianespace S.A. from Safran SA. As part of its commitment to sustainability, Arianespace S.A. aligns with industry standards and practices, although detailed information on specific reduction initiatives or climate pledges is not available at this time. The company is expected to contribute to the broader climate goals set by its parent organization, reflecting a commitment to reducing its environmental impact in the aerospace sector.
