Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (TDS) reported emissions data indicating a revenue of approximately $5.41 billion. However, specific carbon emissions figures were not disclosed, and the company has not provided detailed information on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The available data includes an emissions intensity metric of about 0.0000537 kg CO2e per dollar of revenue, but no absolute emissions numbers were specified. TDS has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of disclosed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As of now, TDS does not inherit emissions data from any parent or related organisations, indicating that their climate commitments and emissions reporting are independent. The company’s approach to climate action remains unclear, and further transparency in emissions reporting and reduction strategies would be beneficial for stakeholders.
