Gkn Automotive

GKN Automotive, headquartered in France and operating in the motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers industry, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions.

In 2025, GKN Automotive's total reported greenhouse gas emissions are projected to be approximately 14.24 billion kg CO2e. This includes an estimated 38.34 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, about 154.20 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions (or 246.39 million kg CO2e location-based), and roughly 14.05 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A significant portion of its Scope 3 emissions in 2025 comes from the use of sold products, accounting for approximately 11.56 billion kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services, which are expected to be around 1.89 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, GKN Automotive's Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2023 were about 38.34 million kg CO2e (Scope 1) and 331.15 million kg CO2e (market-based Scope 2). In 2022, these figures were approximately 53.74 million kg CO2e (Scope 1) and 358.89 million kg CO2e (market-based Scope 2). In 2021, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of roughly 41.15 million kg CO2e and market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 260.58 million kg CO2e.

GKN Automotive has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated reduction targets. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2045, using a 2021 baseline. 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 targets a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. For long-term targets, the company plans to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2045 from a 2021 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same period. The company's CDP reporting is cascaded from its ultimate parent, Dowlais Group plc.
