Telus

TELUS, a Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Carrier, has set ambitious climate targets. For 2025, TELUS's total reported emissions are approximately 1.06 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 41.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 22.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 999.6 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, TELUS reported total emissions of approximately 1.29 billion kg CO2e in 2024 and 1.38 billion kg CO2e in 2019.

TELUS has set several Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets:

• Near-term:
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 85% by 2033 from a 2019 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and use of sold products by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, equivalent to a 75% reduction per million dollars revenue.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel and employee commuting by 46.2% within the same timeframe.
  • 65% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods will have science-based targets by 2028.
• Long-term:
  • Reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, business travel, employee commuting, and use of sold products by 90% within the same timeframe.

Additionally, TELUS aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade, and reduce its energy intensity by 50% from 2019 levels by 2030.
