Telia

Telia, a telecommunication services company headquartered in Sweden, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 587.38 million kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 4.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 3.61 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions (or about 59.16 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 location-based emissions), and roughly 579.28 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions were purchased goods and services (approximately 371.61 million kg CO2e), capital goods (approximately 112.64 million kg CO2e), and fuel and energy related activities (approximately 35.44 million kg CO2e).

Telia has set ambitious climate commitments, with its targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2040. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2030, using a 2018 base year. Telia also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products and downstream leased assets by 29% by 2025 (from a 2018 base year). Furthermore, Telia commits that 72% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by 2025.

Long-term targets include maintaining at least 90% absolute Scope 1 and 2 emission reductions from 2030 through 2040 (from a 2018 base year), and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 (from a 2018 base year). These targets align with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
