Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions were purchased goods and services (199.1 million kg CO2e), use of sold products (132.96 million kg CO2e), business travel (16.19 million kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (18.82 million kg CO2e).

In 2024, Cae's total emissions were approximately 263.57 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 20.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 3.88 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 238.79 million kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were around 231.37 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 22.12 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at 4.25 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 205.01 million kg CO2e. In 2022, Cae reported Scope 1 emissions of 20.04 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 5.13 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 161.28 million kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were 23.27 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 17.29 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 business travel emissions were 4.43 million kg CO2e. For 2020, Scope 1 emissions were 21.99 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 17.52 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 business travel emissions were 16.2 million kg CO2e. In 2019, Cae's Scope 1 emissions were 19.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 market-based emissions were 57.07 million kg CO2e.

Cae has set ambitious climate commitments, including targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 85.7% by FY2033 from a FY2019 base year. Additionally, Cae aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and fuel and energy-related activities by 32.5% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Cae also states a goal to achieve a 40% reduction in its GHG emissions by 2025 (from a 2020 base year) and to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade. From FY20-23, the company reduced Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 14%, reflecting the retroactive addition of emissions associated with acquired entities.
