In 2024, GE Aerospace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 283,359,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 261,563,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), resulting in a combined total of about 544,922,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions related to the use of sold products, amounting to approximately 27,860,000,000 kg CO2e. GE Aerospace has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 2030. This target is part of a broader initiative to propel the industry towards net zero by 2050. The company has achieved a significant reduction of 43% in Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) compared to a 2019 baseline. The emissions data is sourced from General Electric Company, reflecting the corporate family's overall climate strategy. GE Aerospace's commitment to sustainability is further supported by its alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which includes long-term goals to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050, with near-term targets of 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, both from a 2022 base year.
