Our impact
Continuing into 2025, CAE continues to offset all of its recorded carbon emissions each year!
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint while improving the accuracy and transparency of our reporting. Last financial year, our recorded carbon emissions show a 26% increase compared to our baseline year (2018/19). While this may seem concerning at first glance, it reflects our expanded data collection efforts rather than a significant rise in our actual carbon footprint. By broadening the scope of our reporting to include previously unreported emissions sources (Scope 3), we now have a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of our environmental impact.
Despite the increase in reported emissions, we have made significant progress in key areas:
- Elimination of Scope 2 Emissions: We have reduced our Scope 2 emissions from 98.4 tCO2e in the baseline year to 0 tCO2e in the current reporting period, thanks to our transition to renewable energy sources for electricity.
- Reduction in Scope 1 Emissions: We have taken steps to lower direct emissions, including replacing a diesel delivery van with an electric vehicle, which will yield further reductions in future reporting periods.
- Carbon Offsetting: Through our partnership with Ecologi, we have offset all recorded carbon emissions for this fiscal year. While offsetting is not a substitute for reduction, it ensures we are making an immediate positive environmental impact as we continue to implement long-term reduction strategies.
Our enhanced reporting practices reflect our commitment to transparency and accountability. By measuring more comprehensively, we are better equipped to target reductions and remain on track toward achieving net zero emissions by 2040.

"Since 2021 we have been developing our sustainability strategy – how can we be faster, bolder, and go further? We want to drive the sustainability transformation towards a regenerative planet and thriving communities, acting as a trusted partnership. We pushed ourselves to define our roadmap beyond our 2025 targets and shape new ambitions for 2030 and beyond.
Looking forward, we are well prepared: sustainability is deeply anchored in our business strategy, culture and alive in our purpose. With that foundation, our sustainable transformation continues, forever seeking out the next frontier.”
