Saab's reported carbon emissions

Saab AB, headquartered in Sweden, has set ambitious climate commitments, including achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 across its value chain. The company is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2020 as a baseline year. Furthermore, Saab aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions in specific categories, such as upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and the use of sold products, by 25% by 2030, also from a 2020 baseline. In terms of reported emissions, Saab's total greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 821,811,000 kg CO2e in 2025. This figure includes Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions. For the same year, Scope 1 emissions were about 14,922,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 3,932,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were around 802,956,000 kg CO2e. The largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (approximately 556,172,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 135,000,000 kg CO2e). In 2024, Saab's total emissions were approximately 872,517,000 kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of around 16,040,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 4,180,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 852,296,000 kg CO2e. For 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 691,334,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 13,504,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 17,278,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 669,610,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the use of sold products was a significant component of Scope 3 emissions in 2023, amounting to approximately 676,637,000 kg CO2e. Saab's emissions data and reduction targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), indicating a commitment to science-aligned decarbonisation pathways. The company is also working towards ensuring that 50% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by 2027.
