This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 240,815,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 180,808,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, with the largest contributions coming from the use of sold products (about 1,265,729,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 533,487,000 kg CO2e). Textron has set an ambitious target to achieve a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity by 2025, relative to a baseline established in 2019. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting the company's commitment to improving its environmental performance and reducing its carbon footprint. Over the past few years, Textron's total emissions have fluctuated, with a notable decrease from approximately 466,223,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to the current figure in 2023. This trend indicates progress towards their climate commitments, although the company continues to face challenges in managing its Scope 3 emissions, which represent a significant portion of its overall carbon footprint. Textron's ongoing efforts to reduce emissions align with industry standards and reflect a growing recognition of the importance of sustainability in corporate operations.
