Spirit Aerosystems's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Spirit AeroSystems reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 135,663,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 65,219,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, although no data is available for Scope 3 emissions. The company has demonstrated a significant reduction in emissions intensity over the years, achieving a Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity of about 105.27 kg CO2e per square foot in 2022, down from approximately 171.36 kg CO2e per square foot in 2021. This indicates a positive trend towards reducing their carbon footprint. Despite these achievements, Spirit AeroSystems has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may need to establish more concrete commitments to align with industry standards for climate action. Overall, Spirit AeroSystems is making strides in emissions reporting and reduction, but further commitments could enhance their climate strategy and impact.
