This marks a slight decrease from 2022, when the company recorded total emissions of approximately 4,871,000 kg CO2e, with 9,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 4,862,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Globally, in 2022, Rafael's emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 13,207,008,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 2,161,983,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 53,898,340,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses emissions from the entire value chain. Despite these figures, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company has not disclosed any climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Rafael has made progress in managing its emissions, particularly in its Israeli operations, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests that further commitment to climate action may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations.
