Gkn Automotive

GKN Automotive, a French-headquartered company in the Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Semi-Trailers industry, has demonstrated its commitment to addressing climate change through its emissions reporting and reduction targets.

In 2025, GKN Automotive's total calculated emissions are projected to be approximately 14.24 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 38.34 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 154.20 million kg CO2e (or location-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 246.39 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 14.05 billion kg CO2e. Key categories contributing to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 include use of sold products (approximately 11.56 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 1.89 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2023, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 38.34 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions were approximately 331.15 million kg CO2e (or location-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 314.20 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 13.71 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, GKN Automotive's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 53.74 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions were approximately 358.89 million kg CO2e (or location-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 316.79 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 22.43 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 41.15 million kg CO2e and market-based (and location-based) Scope 2 emissions of approximately 260.58 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 data not available for this year.

GKN Automotive has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The company commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045. For near-term targets, GKN Automotive aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 45% by 2030, from a 2021 base year. Additionally, it commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. For long-term targets, GKN Automotive pledges to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2045, from a 2021 base year, and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe. These SBTi targets were set by Gkn Automotive itself.
