“Climate Action 2026” aims to engage around 300 key suppliers – primarily from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, and Italy – in a development path focused on environmental and decarbonisation issues. The initiative aims to encourage concrete actions that enhance competitiveness, resilience, and productivity while optimising resource use.
This project is part of Leonardo’s Supplier Education Programme, as outlined in the company’s Sustainability Plan, which seeks to accelerate the sustainable transition of its supply chain by involving over 500 strategic partners by 2027.
The course will support both Italian and international suppliers in developing their own decarbonisation plans, starting from the calculation and reporting of CO₂ emissions to the definition of reduction targets aligned with the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) criteria.
Lasting approximately 16 hours, the training will be delivered entirely online, through modular e-learning content available on demand, and will include live workshops led by international experts.
The programme is divided into two modules, tailored to different levels of supplier maturity:
- Module 1: introduces the basic principles of sustainability, the importance of environmental topics, and the methodologies for calculating, monitoring, and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.
- Module 2: provides guidance on setting reduction targets aligned with SBTi principles and building an actionable plan to achieve decarbonisation goals.
Developed in collaboration with the EcoVadis Academy, the course combines training materials created by Leonardo with modules from the SBTi Academy. Theoretical content is complemented by practical sessions: live workshops will offer opportunities to analyse real-life case studies, carry out exercises, and deliver measurable outcomes.
With “Climate Action 2026”, Leonardo takes another tangible step towards its supply chain decarbonisation objectives: by 2028, 58% of its suppliers – measured in terms of emissions – will be required to define science-based reduction targets, in line with the most advanced international standards.
