In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 18.6 million kg CO2e and market-based Scope 2 emissions were around 18.9 million kg CO2e, with a reported Scope 3 total of about 3.89 million kg CO2e.

Hitachi Rail Europe is committed to ambitious climate targets. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality at its main sites by 2030 and net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050. These targets are cascaded from its ultimate parent, Hitachi, Ltd., which has committed to a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030.
