Belgacom International Carrier Services SA's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Proximus PLC

Belgacom International Carrier Services SA, headquartered in Belgium (BE), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Proximus PLC, which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organisation. Proximus PLC has established various climate initiatives, including targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, all of which are cascaded to Belgacom International Carrier Services SA. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Belgacom International Carrier Services SA itself have not been disclosed. As part of its corporate family, Belgacom International Carrier Services SA is expected to align with the sustainability goals and climate strategies of Proximus PLC, which may include commitments to reduce emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. Nonetheless, without specific emissions data or reduction targets available, the company's individual climate commitments remain unclear.
