Thales's reported carbon emissions

Thales, a French company operating in the Electrical machinery and apparatus n.e.c. (31) industry, is committed to ambitious carbon emission reductions. In 2024, Thales reported a total of approximately 7.7 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of approximately 84 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 35.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 7.58 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions are largely driven by the use of sold products, accounting for approximately 4.87 billion kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services, contributing around 2.37 billion kg CO2e. Thales has set clear climate targets, aiming for a 50.4% reduction in operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, compared to a 2018 baseline. An interim target of a 35% reduction was set for 2023. Furthermore, the company is targeting a 15% reduction in other CO2 emissions, which includes supply chain and the use of Thales's products by clients (Scope 3), by 2030, with an interim target of 7% for 2023. Thales is also aiming to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets are considered on track for the near term.
