VEON's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, VEON reported total carbon emissions of approximately 600,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 500,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a continuation of their emissions reporting, with previous years showing a trend of emissions reduction. For instance, in 2022, VEON's emissions were also around 700,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight decrease in their overall carbon footprint. Over the years, VEON has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions. In 2021, the company achieved a significant reduction, reporting 600,000,000 kg CO2e, down from 1,330,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020. This reduction reflects their ongoing efforts to enhance energy efficiency and transition to more sustainable practices. Despite these achievements, VEON has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal targets suggests that while VEON is actively managing its emissions, it may benefit from establishing clearer, measurable goals to further enhance its climate commitments. Overall, VEON's emissions data illustrates a positive trajectory towards sustainability, with a focus on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions as part of their broader climate strategy.
