This figure reflects a slight increase from the previous year's emissions of about 28,656,000 kg CO2e in 2023. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 3 emissions data. MBDA's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, MBDA Holdings SAS, and is influenced by initiatives from Airbus SE, which is part of the corporate family relationship. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability reports. The company has made strides in energy consumption, with about 61 MWh sourced from renewable energies, indicating a commitment to integrating sustainable practices into their operations. Despite the lack of formal reduction targets, MBDA's ongoing efforts to monitor and report emissions demonstrate a recognition of the importance of climate action within the aerospace and defence industry.
