Climate Change Data

Environmental Metrics

ESG Focus Areas

• Climate Change

Environmental Achievements

• Reduced Scope 1+2 (market-based) emissions by 40% from 2019 levels by 2034
• In 2019, 100% of the power purchased at our Sterling Heights, Michigan, and Scranton, Pennsylvania, parts and manufacturing plants was from renewable sources. This resulted in a reduction of Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 13,000 tons.
• Implemented various projects to reduce S2 energy use associated with lighting, resulting in a decrease of 2,611 mtCO2e.
• Gulfstream became the first business jet aircraft manufacturer to use renewable fuel in daily operations. Since 2016, Gulfstream has used SAF in daily operations for its corporate, demonstration, customer support and flight test fleets. The company has made more than 650 flights on SAF, totaling nearly 1.5 million nautical miles and saving approximately 2,000 metric tons of CO2.

Social Achievements

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Increased severity and frequency of extreme weather events (hurricanes, floods, windstorms) leading to increased insurance claims liability and potential facility damage.
• Increased indirect costs due to rising electricity prices driven by cleaner energy generation investments and regulations.
• Potential increased indirect costs due to the imposition of carbon pricing mechanisms (carbon tax or ETS).

Mitigation Strategies

• Specific procedures and business continuity plans in place to mitigate risks to staff, facilities, and operations from extreme weather events.
• Implementing strategies to reduce electricity consumption (air conditioning upgrades, LED lighting, LEED certification, solar sites).
• Adopting carbon reduction targets and energy efficiency actions to mitigate carbon pricing exposure. Monitoring regulatory developments in relevant jurisdictions to develop targeted mitigation steps.
