Spirit Aerosystems's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Spirit Aerosystems reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 129,643,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 197,260,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, along with 2,224,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions related to business travel. The company has not disclosed emissions data for 2022, but it has reported a Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity of about 105.27 kg CO2e per square foot. Spirit Aerosystems has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction targets. The absence of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, while Spirit Aerosystems has made strides in measuring its emissions, the lack of clear reduction commitments indicates an opportunity for improvement in its climate action efforts.
