Airtel's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Airtel reported total carbon emissions of approximately 134,021,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 89,870,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 44,151,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a significant focus on reducing operational emissions, although no specific reduction targets or initiatives have been disclosed. For the previous year, 2023, Airtel's emissions were notably higher, totalling around 891,820,000 kg CO2e across all scopes, with Scope 1 emissions at about 20,624,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 457,309,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 891,182,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. Airtel's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Airtel Africa Plc, reflecting a corporate family relationship. The company has not set specific Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or made public climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, Airtel's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and transparency in reduction strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
