Spirit Aerosystems's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Spirit Aerosystems reported total carbon emissions of approximately 135,663,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 65,219,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, although no specific reduction targets or initiatives have been disclosed. In previous years, emissions data shows a trend of fluctuating figures, with Scope 1 emissions reaching about 138,713,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 297,112,000 kg CO2e in the same year. The company has not established any Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Overall, while Spirit Aerosystems has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action within the aerospace manufacturing sector.
