In 2023, Safran reported total carbon emissions of approximately 380,973,000 kg CO2e, which includes Scope 1 emissions of about 167,774,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 213,199,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, with the use of sold products contributing approximately 61,800,000,000 kg CO2e. Safran has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50.4% reduction in its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline. Additionally, the company targets a 42.5% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per available seat kilometre by 2035, also compared to 2018 levels. These targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and align with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The company is committed to transparency and plans to report annually on its progress and collaboration with stakeholders to mitigate the non-CO2 impacts of aviation. Safran's proactive approach to reducing its carbon footprint reflects its dedication to sustainability within the aerospace and defence sector.
