In 2023, Elbit Systems completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Elbit Systems has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Elbit Systems amounted to 142,426 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2022, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Elbit Systems increased by 2.79%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2023, the total Scope 1 emissions of Elbit Systems were 26,812 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Elbit Systems's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 21.21%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Elbit Systems's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 3.81%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 115,614 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2020, Elbit Systems's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Elbit Systems's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Elbit Systems's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Elbit Systems's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported 63,620 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2023 disclosure of Elbit Systems includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2022, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported total Scope 3 emissions of 63,620 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Elbit Systems's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 16.82%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Elbit Systems's Scope 3 emissions increased by 17.1%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 26,812 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,975 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 4.49 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 4.49 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 5.56, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems ranked 8 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Elbit Systems is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2023, Elbit Systems reported a total carbon footprint of 206,046 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 6.82% increase compared to 2022, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Elbit Systems's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 56.11% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 30.88%.a
