Free Mobile's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from iliad S.A.

Free Mobile, headquartered in France, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Iliad S.A., which cascades its climate commitments and performance metrics down to Free Mobile. While specific reduction targets or achievements are not available, Free Mobile aligns with the broader sustainability initiatives of its parent company, Iliad S.A. This includes commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related pledges. However, no specific reduction targets or initiatives have been detailed for Free Mobile itself. As part of its corporate family, Free Mobile is expected to adhere to the climate strategies and performance standards set by Iliad S.A., which may include efforts to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The lack of direct emissions data highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the telecommunications sector, particularly as companies face increasing pressure to address climate change.
