Deutsche Telekom's latest reported emissions data shows a projected 7.7 billion kg CO2e for 2025. In 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 6.25 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 66.85 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at around 2.82 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 6.19 billion kg CO2e. This follows 2022 total emissions of approximately 7.27 billion kg CO2e and 2021 total emissions of about 7.33 billion kg CO2e. For 2020, total emissions were around 8.95 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of 53.18 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) of 1.86 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 of 7.03 billion kg CO2e.

The company, whose climate data is inherited from T-Mobile US, Inc., has committed to significant reductions. They aim for a 95% reduction in combined absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2016 baseline. Furthermore, Deutsche Telekom has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2040, using a 2020 baseline. This commitment includes reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, and by 90% by 2040 from a 2020 base year. T-Mobile also has a specific intensity target to reduce energy consumption (MWh) per petabyte (PB) of data traffic on its network by 95% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. The company has also signed The Climate Pledge.
