Elbit Systems's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,234,900 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 54,670 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 290,310 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 889,920 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data highlights the company's ongoing commitment to monitoring and managing its carbon footprint. Looking at previous years, in 2022, Elbit Systems emitted about 125,084,000 kg CO2e in total, with Scope 1 emissions at 20,996,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 104,088,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a significant focus on emissions reporting, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. Elbit Systems has not established formal reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company’s emissions efficiency has improved over the years, with a reported GHG emissions efficiency of 152 kg CO2e per m² in 2019, down from 250 kg CO2e per m² in 2015. Overall, while Elbit Systems is actively tracking its emissions, the absence of specific reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
