TELESAT's reported carbon emissions
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.
