Climate and environment
Shaping a resilient future, together.
At BAE Systems, we're taking steps to reduce our environmental impact and build future business resilience. By joining us, you’ll be part of a team driving real change across global operations. We focus our efforts on three key areas:
- Cutting emissions across our operations
We’re aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across our operations by 2030 – and our entire value chain by 2050. This includes shifting to renewable energy, optimising energy use across sites and investing in low-carbon alternatives for heating and transport. You'll be part of a team that's making real progress.
- Creating climate-ready solutions
Working with suppliers, customers and partners, we’re developing more energy-efficient technologies and platforms – including electrification, alternative fuels and in-situ energy generation. If you’re driven by innovation with impact, you’ll find exciting opportunities here to help shape a smarter, more resilient defence industry.
- Caring for the environment
We’re reducing our use of energy, water and materials, while protecting natural habitats around our sites. From designing efficient buildings to reducing waste and supporting local biodiversity, we’re making thoughtful, long-term decisions to protect the environment where we live and work.
By building a more energy-efficient, climate-resilient business, we’re creating a stronger foundation for our people, our communities and future generations. Join us and help build a safer tomorrow.
