In 2023, Hexcel Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 185,002,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 155,978,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where emissions were about 188,140,000 kg CO2e. For Scope 2, emissions in 2022 were approximately 150,186,000 kg CO2e, indicating a stable performance in this area. Over the past few years, Hexcel's emissions have shown fluctuations. In 2021, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 139,241,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 112,750,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a need for ongoing efforts to manage and reduce emissions effectively. Despite these figures, Hexcel has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction goals suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have committed to formalised targets for future reductions. Overall, Hexcel Corporation's emissions data highlights the importance of continued focus on sustainability and carbon management within the aerospace and advanced materials industry.
