In July 2023, Latecoere formally committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO₂ emissions by 2030 (- 42% vs. 2022 levels), fully aligned with the 1.5°C trajectory set at COP21 in Paris.
In 2024, Latecoere’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions reached 12,149 tons CO₂eq (Ademe methodology), representing an 18% reduction achieved while activity increased. This confirms that we remain on track with our 2030 target.
The reduction was driven primarily by:
– Lower energy consumption through site-level energy management programs.
– A growing share of renewable electricity, now in place across operations in several countries including France, Czech Republic, Canada, Brazil, Tunisia, Morocco, and India.
Our decarbonization roadmap for Scope 1 & 2 is structured around three priorities:
1. Reduce energy consumption through training, audits, and dedicated energy committees at all sites.
2. Increase renewable energy use, with electricity as a priority lever.
3. Progressively electrify processes to reduce dependence on natural gas.
Latecoere is also preparing its Scope 3 trajectory, focusing on major categories such as purchased goods and services, waste management, employee commuting, travel and logistics. Concrete initiatives are already in motion:
– Launch of a CO₂ evaluation tool for the supply chain, with integration into purchasing dashboards in 2026.
– 100% recycling of metallic chips (aluminum, titanium, steel).
– reduction of business travel
– Promoting local production close to customer needs and low-carbon logistics.
– Workshops with customers on weight reduction improvements across aircraft programs.
