In 2021, ASELSAN Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi reported total carbon emissions of approximately 37,880,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, 15,482,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, and 37,927,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marked a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which include purchased goods and services. In 2020, the company emitted about 14,170,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3, 14,690,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1, and 42,320,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2. The trend indicates a growing environmental footprint, with emissions from Scope 1 and 2 also rising from 14,480,000 kg CO2e and 37,786,000 kg CO2e in 2019, respectively. Despite these figures, ASELSAN has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined climate pledges suggests a need for enhanced strategies to mitigate their carbon impact and improve sustainability practices. Overall, while ASELSAN's emissions data reflects significant activity, the lack of reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate action framework.
