Hexcel Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Hexcel Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 340,980,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 185,002,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 155,978,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were approximately 339,325,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 188,140,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 150,186,000 kg CO2e. Hexcel has consistently disclosed its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, but it has not provided data for Scope 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future focus. The revenue intensity of emissions has shown variability, with 2023 reporting a Scope 1 and 2 revenue intensity of about 188.0 kg CO2e per million USD of revenue. Overall, while Hexcel Corporation has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
