Decoupling business growing while reducing resource consumption and environmental impact also pushing circularity: this is the aim of the Leonardo Transition Plan strategy, geared towards building resilience through the transition.

The plan is structured around three integrated chapter: Our Ambition, Our Actions, and Our Accountability. Within this pillar the main topics are climate strategy, investments, natural resources and circularity, and Just Transition, dedicated to skills development, inclusion and people. Digital transition acting as a cross-cutting enabler.

Results achieved since 2020 demonstrate the effectiveness of this path. Against revenue growth of 41%, the Group has reduced direct emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 44%, external grid electricity purchases by 32% (baseline 2019), water withdrawals by 23% (baseline 2019) and waste generated by 22% (baseline 2019).

Leonardo allocated within the 2026–2030 Industrial Plan approximately €1.2 billion of investments directly advancing climate transition objectives and the Group’s financing sources are for the 79% ESG-linked with specific financial instruments.
