• The Plan is a roadmap of concrete investments for competitiveness and resilience
• €1.2 billion invested in climate transition, emissions Scope I & II MB down 44% (from 2020) and revenues up 41% (from 2019): Leonardo links growth, capital allocation and lower environmental impact to strengthen enduring performance and adaptability

Growing the business while consuming fewer resources is no longer a trade-off for Leonardo, it is the strategy. With the “2026 Transition Plan”, the Group makes the climate and environmental transition a structural part of its Industrial Plan and long-term business strategy, with one clear aim: building resilience across the transition.

The commitment is grounded in the 2026-2030 Industrial Plan, where Leonardo has earmarked around €1.2 billion for investments relevant to climate transition, while 79% of the Group’s financing is now linked to ESG parameters through dedicated instruments. And it is backed by people: 64% of the workforce holds STEM qualifications, and more than 37,000 employees trained on sustainability topics over the past year.

The 2026 Transition Plan is built around three pillars - Ambition, Actions and Accountability - spanning climate strategy, investments, natural resources and circularity, alongside a Just transition focused on skills, inclusion and people. Digital transition acts a core enabler across all areas bringing data, technologies and skills together to deliver on the plan.

The track record speaks for itself: against revenue growth of 41% (vs. 2019 baseline), Leonardo has cut direct emissions Scope I and Scope II MB (Market Based) by 44% (vs. 2020 baseline), external grid electricity purchases by 32%, water withdrawals by 23% and waste by 22% (vs. 2019 baseline). These results highlight Leonardo’s ability to combine operational performance with efficiency gains and lower resource use. 

The Plan also sharpens Leonardo’s view of climate-related risk along the supply chain and steps up work on critical raw materials, including the CRM4Defence project, strengthening the Group’s ability to anticipate emerging vulnerabilities and safeguard long-term operational security. 

A strategy that continues to earn international recognition: Leonardo has been recently confirmed as an ESG leader in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices for the sixteenth consecutive year, achieving the highest score in the Aerospace, Defence & Security sector and standing out significantly from its international peers.
