Deutsche Telekom AG, a German post and telecommunication services company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8.75 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 223.79 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 16.38 million kg CO2e (market-based) or 3.74 billion kg CO2e (location-based) from Scope 2. Their Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 8.51 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, total emissions were about 9.99 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 236.36 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at about 16.21 million kg CO2e, or 4.00 billion kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 9.73 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 239.60 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 17.96 million kg CO2e.

Deutsche Telekom AG has set several ambitious climate commitments. They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain by 2040. As part of their near-term goals, they commit to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 94% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. They also plan to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 47% within the same timeframe. By the end of 2025, they aim for climate neutrality in their own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by reducing emissions by more than 94% against their 2017 levels, with remaining emissions offset through high-quality removal projects. Their long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040 from a 2020 base year, and a 90% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe.
