Telesat, headquartered in Canada, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available at this time. As a result, Telesat's climate commitments and initiatives remain unclear. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from any parent or related organizations, which suggests that it operates independently in terms of its climate strategy. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on setting science-based targets and committing to net-zero emissions. However, without specific data or commitments from Telesat, it is difficult to assess their position in relation to these industry standards.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
TELESAT is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
