Telesat Canada's reported carbon emissions

Telesat Canada currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Telesat Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Telesat Canada has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific commitments suggests that Telesat Canada is still in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the context of the telecommunications industry, it is essential for Telesat Canada to consider implementing robust sustainability measures and emissions reduction strategies to align with global climate goals and industry standards.
