Airtel's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Airtel reported total carbon emissions of approximately 134.0 million kg CO2e, comprising about 89.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 44.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, Airtel has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. In 2023, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 891.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 20.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 457.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 891.2 million kg CO2e. Airtel's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Airtel Africa Plc, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Airtel, which may reflect a broader industry context where telecommunications companies are increasingly scrutinised for their environmental impact. Overall, Airtel's commitment to addressing carbon emissions is evident, but further transparency and specific reduction initiatives would enhance its climate strategy.
