Prior to 2024, Hensoldt's reporting focused on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions totalled approximately 3,208,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 7,259,000 kg CO2e. For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 3,319,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 7,487,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 3,632,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 7,490,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 3,408,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 7,039,000 kg CO2e.

Hensoldt has set a target to achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035. Furthermore, the company aims for a 40% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2028 in its core countries (Germany, France, United Kingdom, South Africa), using 2023 as the reference year with a baseline of 9,945,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Intermediate targets include a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2026, and a 50% reduction by 2029, based on 2020 figures of 21,886,000 kg CO2e.
