For reference, their 2020 total emissions were 440,517,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 26,632,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 785,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 413,100,000 kg CO2e.

Proximus has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. They are committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain by 2040, using a 2020 base year. Their near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 66% by 2030 from a 2020 base year, and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. For the long term, Proximus aims to maintain a minimum of 95% absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emission reductions from 2030 through 2040 (from a 2020 base year), and reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2020 base year. Proximus also commits to continue sourcing 100% renewable electricity annually until 2030. They have previously exceeded a target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% between 2015 and 2025, achieving a 45% reduction by 2020.
