Aerospace and Defense Industry: Recurring Regulatory and Sustainability Reporting Obligations
The report, sponsored by IAEG Work Group 9, provides IAEG members and their supply chain with a structured, global inventory of major recurring reporting obligations relevant to the A&D sector. It aims to enable efficient horizon scanning and planning for submissions.
Aerospace and Defense Industry: Recurring Regulatory and Sustainability Reporting Obligations
The report, sponsored by IAEG Work Group 9, provides a strategic analysis for IAEG members and their supply chains to evaluate emerging global packaging regulations and their impact on compliance and potential operational risks. The analysis focuses on regulations affecting firms within the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) sector.

White Paper and Voluntary Guidance for Calculating Use Phase Scope 3 Emissions for Space-related Products
This white paper offers discussion and voluntary consensus guidance focused on calculating Scope 3 emissions for the use phase applications of phase-related products and is meant to complement the GHG Corporate Protocol Scope 3 emissions accounting and reporting standard and the associated technical guidance for calculating Scope 3 emissions. This document describes industry-specific methodologies for calculating scope 3 emissions for specific use-phase scenarios and provides discussions on the input data needed for applying each methodology as well as examples illustrating how methodologies may differ depending on the reporting entities role within the space industry’s value chain.
Scope 3 Category 11 Use of Sold Products - Commercial Calculation Tool Version 1
This tool enables computation of GHG emissions for commercial aircraft products and for the intermediate products of aircraft supply chain:- direct use-phase emissions from products that directly consume energy during use- indirect use-phase emissions from products that indirectly consume energy during use (e.g. emissions associated with carrying the weight of aircraft interiors, landing gear and other systems during the flight).

Monthly Progress Review
Join the International Aerospace Environmental Group
With 900+ participants – from global Original Equipment Manufacturers and agile Small and Medium-sized Enterprises to university researchers and regulators – IAEG gathers expertise from every stage of an aircraft’s life cycle. That collective wisdom becomes ready‑to‑use calculators, templates, and step‑by‑step guidance you can slot straight into daily workflows. Clear legal safeguards let members surface common pain points, solve them once, and spread the solution quickly, for voluntary and unilateral consideration and use, while raising skill levels across the entire supply chain.
IAEG: Aerospace Aligned
As the industry tackles climate challenges and stricter environmental social and governance disclosures, IAEG remains anchored to its foundational principle: robust compliance opens the door to unprecedented collaboration. We now look ahead to 2030 with a clear mandate – engage every corner of the supply chain, accelerate material stewardship, and equip even the smallest supplier to lead on sustainability. The goal is nothing less than a global aerospace ecosystem where environmental excellence is standard practice.
VISION: A Sustainable Aerospace and Defense Industry
MISSION: We are the leading global aerospace and defense sustainability forum for sharing best practices, developing harmonized solutions and encouraging value chain adoption.
AIMS:
- Foster Sustainability
- Engage Supply Chain
- Drive Materials Stewardship
- Address Climate Change
