Telesat Canada's reported carbon emissions

Telesat Canada currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Telesat Corporation, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, Telesat Canada is part of a broader corporate family that may have climate commitments and targets. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for Telesat Canada itself. The absence of data suggests that the company may still be developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. As a subsidiary, Telesat Canada may align its sustainability efforts with those of Telesat Corporation, which could include participation in initiatives such as the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project). However, specific details regarding emissions reduction initiatives or targets have not been disclosed. In summary, Telesat Canada has not provided emissions data or specific climate commitments, reflecting a potential area for future development in their sustainability reporting and environmental impact strategies.
