Leonardo, in line with the commitment of the entire AD&S sector, is stepping up its efforts to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impact along the entire value chain. As part of its decarbonisation strategy, Leonardo is committed to reducing not only internal emissions but also those beyond the company’s perimeter, working with suppliers and lowering the impact generated by the use of its products by customers, in line with the guidelines of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

To encourage suppliers to improve their sustainability and to recognise their contribution to achieving the company’s objectives, Leonardo has committed to introducing sustainability criteria into the tendering process.

The aim is to improve: 

• the supplier’s sustainability performance, assessed through participation in the EcoVadis assessment and the resulting rating
• the supplier’s contribution to decarbonisation targets, assessed through their participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

These requirements are supplemented, where specific business needs arise, with additional sustainability criteria.
