In 2023, Pratt & Whitney Company, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,057,000 kg CO2e, comprising 71,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,986,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in emissions from 2022, when total emissions were about 3,297,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 83,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 3,214,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Notably, Pratt & Whitney has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change. As a current subsidiary of RTX Corporation, emissions data and climate commitments may be influenced by the broader corporate strategies of the parent company. However, specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been detailed in the available reports. Overall, while Pratt & Whitney has made strides in tracking and reporting emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and transparency in their sustainability efforts.
