In 2025, Thales reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Thales reported 8,778,000 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 Thales includes a breakdown across 5 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 4 in 2024, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2025, Thales reported total Scope 3 emissions of 8,778,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 5.62% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 94.38% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Thales's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 33.9%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Thales's Scope 3 emissions increased by 15.85%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Thales 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 Thales's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Thales reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 46,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 25,778 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.78 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Thales reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.78 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 2025, Thales ranked 3 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Thales among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.a
In 2025, Thales reported a total carbon footprint of 8,943,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 14.55% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Thales's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.15% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 1.33%.a
