Daher has launched a climate policy that targets a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from its operations by 2032, aligning the company with <a href="https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/degrees-matter">the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degrees C target</a>. The French aerospace group, which manufactures aircraft and provides logistics and industrial services, aims to cut emissions by 23% by 2027 as an interim goal.
The policy is built around four pillars: operational emissions reduction, upstream supplier engagement, product and service decarbonization, and climate adaptation. Daher plans to expand the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its flight operations to more than 10% by 2027 and 20% by 2032. It is also supporting SAF blend approvals beyond 50%.
A lower-carbon, <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-04-09/daher-track-hybrid-electric-airplane-2027">hybrid-electric aircraft</a> is scheduled to be developed at the company by 2027, alongside improvements in efficiency for existing platforms. At least half of the company’s research and development budget is now dedicated to composite materials, with an eye to reducing aircraft weight. Daher will also implement eco-design principles across new programs and invest in biofuels for its ground operations.
To address <a href="https://www.epa.gov/climateleadership/scope-3-inventory-guidance">Scope 3 emissions,</a> Daher will evaluate the carbon maturity of its 50 highest-emitting suppliers by 2027, expanding the evaluation to 100 suppliers by 2032. Data collected will feed into its internal reporting tools and help define co-developed reduction pathways for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories.
Additionally, the company is conducting physical climate risk mapping of its facilities and critical suppliers, with a resilience plan to follow for high-risk sites by 2032.
“Daher’s climate policy is a clear response to the climate emergency,” said Julie de Cevins, the group’s chief sustainability officer. “It reflects our commitment to act with methods, ambition, and responsibility.”
