Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Unit and Propulsion Unit Parts Manufacturing is among the most carbon-intensive industries
The Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Unit and Propulsion Unit Parts Manufacturing industry has reduced its overall emissions by 27% since 2018
Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Safran, a Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Unit and Propulsion Unit Parts manufacturer based in France, reported its latest emissions data for 2024. The company's total emissions for 2024 were approximately 70.9 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 175.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 146.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 70.6 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions included the use of sold products (approximately 63.4 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 6.6 billion kg CO2e).
Looking back, Safran's total emissions were approximately 68.5 billion kg CO2e in 2023 and 119.9 billion kg CO2e in 2018.
Safran has set robust climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50.4% by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline year. This target is consistent with a 1.5°C scenario. Additionally, Safran is committed to reducing its Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 42.5% per available seat kilometre by 2035, also against a 2018 baseline. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Safran has also committed to achieving carbon neutrality for the entire air transport sector by 2050 through the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG).
