In 2024, Safran reported total emissions of approximately 32,204,600 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, while Scope 3 emissions reached about 66,420,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 63,400,000,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products, and significant contributions from employee commuting and business travel. In 2023, Safran's Scope 1 emissions were about 167,774,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 213,199,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year included about 61,800,000,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products. Safran has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and a 50.4% reduction by 2030, both compared to a 2018 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 have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Furthermore, Safran is part of the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), which has committed the entire air transport sector to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The company is actively working to enhance its sustainability practices and reduce its overall carbon footprint in line with industry standards.
