In 2024, Wabtec Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 131,344,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 96,693,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a significant 52,664,991,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the use of sold products (51,188,271,000 kg CO2e). The combined total for Scope 1 and 2 emissions was about 228,037,000 kg CO2e. Wabtec has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This target reflects a strategic shift from previous GHG and energy intensity goals to an absolute emissions reduction approach. Additionally, the company is modernising its freight locomotives to be capable of using 100% biofuel (B20/R80) by 2030, which is expected to contribute significantly to their emissions reduction efforts. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all figures are reported directly from Wabtec. The company continues to focus on sustainability initiatives as part of its operational strategy, aligning with industry standards for climate action.
