Talktalk, with its HQ in GB and operating in the "Post and telecommunication services" industry, demonstrates significant climate commitments. Through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Talktalk Telecom Group Limited has committed to ambitious near-term targets. They aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 93.5% by FY2030, from a FY2020 base year. Additionally, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 42.0% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. This commitment to SBTi targets is cascaded from its parent organization, TalkTalk Telecom Group Limited.
