Blue Bird

Blue Bird, a US-headquartered motor vehicle body manufacturer, reported its 2024 global greenhouse gas emissions at approximately 1.686 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes about 9.35 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 11.05 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 1.669 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, its Scope 3 emissions include 705,000 kg CO2e from upstream leased assets. In 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 24.56 million kg CO2e, comprising around 11.38 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 12.35 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 715,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, all from upstream leased assets.

Blue Bird (operating as BLB CORPORATION for SBTi purposes) has set near-term, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. It commits to an absolute reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, against a 2021 base year. The company also commits to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions. These targets were approved using a streamlined validation route for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and are considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
