In 2024, Lockheed Martin reported total carbon emissions of approximately 29,443,100 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 365,395,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 19,954,439,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a total of about 20,348,000,000 kg CO2e when combining Scope 1 and 2 emissions. In 2023, the company recorded similar figures, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 30,542,600 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 375,435,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 27,521,169,000 kg CO2e. Lockheed Martin has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Additionally, the company targets a 50% reduction in Scope 1 emissions from a 2021 baseline by 2030, alongside a similar 50% reduction for Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, Lockheed Martin aims to achieve a 70% reduction in carbon emissions per dollar of gross profit for both Scope 1 and 2 by 2030, using 2015 as a baseline. The company is also committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, with interim goals to reduce absolute carbon emissions by 36% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. These initiatives are part of Lockheed Martin's broader strategy to enhance energy efficiency and transition to renewable energy sources, including a goal to match 40% of its electricity usage with renewable energy by 2030.
