Lilium's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Lilium reported total carbon emissions of approximately 269,608,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 99% of the total. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 458,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 5,764,000 kg CO2e (market-based). The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions included major categories such as purchased goods and services (approximately 266,860,000 kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (about 2,161,000 kg CO2e). Lilium has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates that the company has not yet established formalised goals for reducing its carbon footprint. Furthermore, there are no documented climate pledges or reduction initiatives available. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all figures are directly reported by Lilium N.V. This highlights the company's current emissions profile and the need for future commitments to address climate change effectively.
