Tesat-Spacecom GmbH & Co. KG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Airbus SE

Tesat-Spacecom GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Airbus SE, and any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organisation. As part of its corporate family relationship with Airbus SE, Tesat-Spacecom is aligned with various sustainability initiatives, including those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Tesat-Spacecom itself have not been disclosed. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Tesat-Spacecom may be in the process of developing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. The company is expected to adhere to the broader sustainability goals established by Airbus SE, which may include commitments to reduce emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. In summary, while Tesat-Spacecom GmbH & Co. KG does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that prioritises climate action and sustainability through its association with Airbus SE.
