Safran Aircraft Engines SAS's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Safran SA

Safran Aircraft Engines SAS, headquartered in France, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Safran SA, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Safran Aircraft Engines SAS has not outlined specific reduction targets or achievements, it is important to note that its parent company, Safran SA, is involved in various climate initiatives. These include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which aim to enhance transparency and accountability in emissions reduction efforts. As a part of the broader Safran Group, Safran Aircraft Engines SAS is expected to align with the sustainability goals set by its parent company, which may include ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes. However, specific details regarding these targets or the company's individual climate pledges are not currently available. In summary, while Safran Aircraft Engines SAS does not provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is part of a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate initiatives through Safran SA.
