Aston Martin's footprint was 1,084,877 tCO2e in 2025, more than 99% of it in its value chain and about half from the use of the cars it sells. It fell 9% on 2024, mostly because it built fewer cars, and upstream value-chain emissions are up 32% on 2022. Its UK sites buy 100% renewable electricity through certificates, but natural gas still supplies more of its energy than electricity. Its targets are self-set: it withdrew from SBTi validation in 2025, and its 2030 target leaves out the use of its cars. In 2023 it lobbied for small carmakers to be exempt from the UK's 2030 petrol phase-out, and the 2025 rules exempt it.
