In 2025, MTU Aero Engines reported 6,643,846 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 2025 disclosure of MTU Aero Engines includes a breakdown across 5 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, MTU Aero Engines reported total Scope 3 emissions of 6,643,846 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 17.77% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 82.23% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, MTU Aero Engines's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 96,467.53%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), MTU Aero Engines's Scope 3 emissions increased by 11.86%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, MTU Aero Engines reported emissions for 5 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to MTU Aero Engines's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, MTU Aero Engines reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 41,186 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 10,302 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 4 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, MTU Aero Engines reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 4 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 7.06, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, MTU Aero Engines ranked 6 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
MTU Aero Engines is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, MTU Aero Engines reported a total carbon footprint of 6,750,933 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 11.66% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to MTU Aero Engines's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.41% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.98%.a
