Safran's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Safran reported total emissions of approximately 322,046,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, while Scope 3 emissions reached about 66,420,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 105,000,000 kg CO2e from employee commutes, and a staggering 63,400,000,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products. In 2023, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of approximately 167,774,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 213,199,000 kg CO2e, alongside significant Scope 3 emissions. Safran has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and a 50.4% reduction by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline. Additionally, the company is committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 42.5% per available seat kilometre by 2035. These targets align with the 1.5°C climate scenario and are part of Safran's long-term commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, as endorsed by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG). The company has also made strides in reducing emissions through innovative technologies, such as the LEAP engine, which has demonstrated a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to previous engine generations. Safran's comprehensive approach to emissions reduction reflects its commitment to sustainability and climate responsibility within the aerospace and defence sector.
