In 2024, Textron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 231,420,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 166,419,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 30,332,150.63 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions related to waste generated in operations. This reflects a decrease from 2023, where emissions were about 241,593,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 180,808,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint. Textron's emissions data is sourced directly from Textron Inc. and does not appear to be cascaded from a parent company. The company has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, which suggests a need for more structured climate commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, Textron's emissions management reflects ongoing efforts to monitor and potentially reduce their carbon impact, although specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been disclosed.
