SNCF

SNCF, a railway transportation services provider headquartered in France, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. For the reporting year 2025, SNCF reported a total of approximately 12.4 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 1.8 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and approximately 830 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were a significant contributor, totalling approximately 9.8 billion kg CO2e, with upstream transportation and distribution accounting for the largest portion at approximately 3.9 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 2.4 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, SNCF's total emissions were approximately 12.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1.9 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 971 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2024 amounted to approximately 9.5 billion kg CO2e.

SNCF has set ambitious climate targets. Notably, the company aims for a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions between 2022 and 2030, a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Furthermore, SNCF is working towards achieving complete decarbonisation of its transport and building activities by 2050. This includes a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050, with specific targets such as reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 26% by 2030 from a 2017 baseline, and a similar 26% reduction for Scope 3 energy-related emissions. For its construction sector business, SNCF aims for a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2015 baseline.

In 2025, SNCF reported a reduction of 6.5% in its emissions compared to 2024 and 13% compared to 2022, indicating progress towards its reduction goals. The company's sustainability reporting covers various scopes, including Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (other indirect emissions).
