Airbus's reported carbon emissions

Airbus, headquartered in the Netherlands and operating within the Machinery and equipment n.e.c. industry, has reported significant carbon emissions and established ambitious climate commitments. For the year 2025, the company's total emissions were approximately 493.3 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions totalling about 480 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions, market-based, at approximately 135 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions, predominantly from the use of sold products, were a substantial 492.7 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, Airbus's total emissions were approximately 475.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 462 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 160 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 474.7 billion kg CO2e. The company has made several key commitments to reduce its environmental impact. Airbus aims to reduce its direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) net greenhouse gas emissions by 63% by 2030, compared to a 2015 baseline. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 46% per revenue passenger kilometre (RPK) by 2035, also based on a 2015 baseline. Airbus also has a target to remove 100% of its residual emissions by 2030. Beyond these targets, Airbus supports the aviation industry's broader ambition to achieve a net-zero carbon aviation ecosystem by 2050. The company is actively investing in developing zero-emission aircraft, including hydrogen-powered solutions, with a goal to bring the first zero-emission commercial aircraft to market by 2035. They are also exploring the increased use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and have committed to certifying 100% SAF use for their commercial aircraft and helicopters by 2030. Airbus also aims to reduce CO2 emissions intensity by 60% by 2030 compared to 2015, with constant production.
