Veon has not reported any carbon emissions data for the most recent year, leaving their total emissions figures unavailable. Consequently, there are no specific numbers to detail regarding their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, Veon has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to climate initiatives, indicating a lack of formalised climate strategy at this time. As there is no emissions data or climate commitments available, it is unclear how Veon is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to broader industry climate goals. The absence of reported figures suggests that further transparency and action may be necessary for the company to align with industry standards and expectations regarding climate accountability.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
