Spirit Aerosystems's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Spirit Aerosystems reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 135,663,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 65,219,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, alongside 2,860,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions from business travel. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure of emissions across all relevant scopes, demonstrating the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 129,643,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 197,260,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 2,224,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2022, although the specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. Spirit Aerosystems has not established specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a structured approach to emissions reduction. The company is part of the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. corporate family, which may influence its overall sustainability strategy. Overall, while Spirit Aerosystems has made strides in emissions reporting, further commitments and structured reduction targets would enhance its climate action profile.
