Openreach's reported carbon emissions

Openreach, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year. As a result, specific figures regarding their carbon footprint, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not provided. In the absence of detailed emissions data, it is important to note that Openreach has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. This lack of information suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or may be aligning its strategies with broader industry standards. As the telecommunications sector increasingly focuses on sustainability, Openreach's future climate commitments and potential reduction strategies will be crucial in addressing the growing concerns around carbon emissions and climate change.
