In 2024, Leonardo S.p.A. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,654,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 6,051,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 5,407,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 305,000,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all relevant scopes. Leonardo has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for climate neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, and across its entire value chain by 2050. The company has established a target to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% by 2025, compared to 2018 levels. Additionally, Leonardo has committed to a 53% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from a 2020 baseline, as well as a 52% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per flight hour equivalent by the same year. Significant initiatives include the implementation of energy self-production programmes and the transition to Full Potential LED lighting, which collectively aim to decarbonise operations. Notably, the replacement of SF6 gas with a less harmful alternative has reportedly prevented the emission of about 180,000 tonnes CO2e since 2020. Leonardo's climate strategy aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring that its targets are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The company is actively working towards these goals, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability within the aerospace and defence sector.
