In 2021, Fokker, headquartered in Great Britain, reported no specific carbon emissions data. However, the company has made significant climate commitments aimed at reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Fokker's parent company, GKN Aerospace Services Limited, has set ambitious targets to achieve net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. The near-term goals include a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline year. Additionally, GKN Aerospace aims to cut absolute Scope 3 emissions—covering fuel and energy-related activities, transportation, waste, business travel, and employee commuting—by 25% by 2030, with a 2022 baseline. For the long term, GKN Aerospace has committed to a 90% reduction in both Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, as well as a 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by the same year. Furthermore, the company plans for 70% of its suppliers, based on spend, to have science-based targets by 2028. These commitments align with industry standards for climate action and demonstrate Fokker's dedication to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.
