Telus's reported carbon emissions

## TELUS Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments TELUS, a post and telecommunication services company headquartered in Canada, has outlined significant climate commitments and reported on its carbon emissions. **Recent Emissions Data:** * **2025:** Total emissions were approximately 1.06 billion kg CO2e. * Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 41.1 million kg CO2e. * Scope 2 (market-based) emissions: Approximately 22.8 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 1 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributors being purchased goods and services (around 497.37 million kg CO2e) and use of sold products (around 294.24 million kg CO2e). * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately 1.29 billion kg CO2e. * Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 43.24 million kg CO2e. * Scope 2 (market-based) emissions: Approximately 143.27 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 1.1 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for about 617.27 million kg CO2e. * **2023:** Total emissions were not explicitly provided as a sum, but Scope 1 emissions were approximately 50.51 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 159.13 million kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** TELUS has established science-based targets and is committed to significant emissions reductions: * **Net-Zero by 2040:** TELUS aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040. * **Absolute Emissions Reduction:** * A key commitment is to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46% from 2019 levels by 2030. * Further, TELUS has set a target to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions by 75% by 2033 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 75% by 2033 from a 2019 base year. * Additionally, TELUS commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, business travel, employee commuting, and use of sold products by 90% by 2040. * **Intensity Targets:** * TELUS aims to reduce its energy intensity by 50% from 2019 levels by 2030. * **Near-Term Goals:** * TELUS aims to reduce its Scope 1 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade (by 2025). * Similarly, Scope 2 emissions are targeted for near-zero reduction by 2025. * More recently, there are commitments to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 30% from a 2021 baseline by 2030 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2021 baseline by 2030. These commitments are aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. TELUS's targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
