In 2021, the company emitted approximately 15,482,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 37,927,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 33,788,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to previous years, indicating a growing impact from purchased goods and services. In 2020, ASELSAN's emissions were about 14,690,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 42,320,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 14,170,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The company has shown fluctuations in its emissions over the years, with Scope 2 emissions peaking in 2020. Despite these figures, ASELSAN has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor has it joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for climate action. Overall, ASELSAN's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
