In 2024, MBDA reported total carbon emissions of approximately 29,615,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact, although specific Scope 3 emissions data was not disclosed for this year. For the previous year, 2023, MBDA's total emissions were about 84,656,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 28,656,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 6,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 50,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of a company's carbon footprint. MBDA's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, MBDA Holdings SAS, and is influenced by initiatives from Airbus SE, which is part of the corporate family relationship. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges reported by MBDA, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Overall, MBDA's emissions reflect the challenges faced by the aerospace and defence industry in managing carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for comprehensive climate action.
