The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, Austal has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The company’s emissions intensity for steel production is reported at about 2,600 kg CO2e per tonne of steel equivalent structural weight of vessels delivered in 2024, which reflects their operational impact in the maritime industry. Overall, while Austal has made strides in tracking emissions, the absence of defined reduction initiatives or targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies moving forward.
