Wabtec

Wabtec, a US-headquartered company in the Rubber and Plastic Products industry, has set ambitious climate targets. For 2025, the company projects its total carbon emissions to be approximately 58.4 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 131.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 98.5 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and a substantial 58.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, with a significant portion (56.4 billion kg CO2e) attributed to the use of sold products.

In 2024, Wabtec reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54.3 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprised about 139.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 104.8 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 54.0 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions included the use of sold products (about 52.4 billion kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (about 165.6 million kg CO2e).

Looking back to 2022, Wabtec's total carbon emissions were approximately 50.3 billion kg CO2e, consisting of about 129.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 105.5 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 50.0 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. The use of sold products constituted approximately 48.6 billion kg CO2e of the Scope 3 total.

Wabtec is committed to substantial emissions reductions. The company has set a near-term absolute GHG reduction goal to decrease its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This target was established in 2022, replacing previous GHG and energy intensity goals. Furthermore, Wabtec is working towards the capability for new and modernized high-HP freight locomotives to run on 100% biofuel (B20/R80) in North America by 2026, with a global target for new and modernized freight locomotives by 2030.
