Sncf's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, SNCF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,026,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, amounting to about 1,514,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were also substantial, totalling around 7,869,000,000 kg CO2e, which included emissions from capital goods and purchased goods and services. Over the years, SNCF has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were about 7,115,000,000 kg CO2e, while in 2021, they reached approximately 5,930,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available. SNCF's emissions data indicates a complex landscape of carbon output, with a notable reliance on mobile combustion contributing significantly to their overall footprint. The absence of formal reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate strategies to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
