Telus

TELUS, a Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Carrier, reported total emissions of approximately 1.06 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 41.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 22.8 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and around 999.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Their Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were primarily driven by purchased goods and services (497.4 million kg CO2e) and use of sold products (294.2 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, TELUS's total emissions were approximately 1.29 billion kg CO2e in 2024, with Scope 1 emissions at about 43.2 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 at around 143.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 1.099 billion kg CO2e. In 2019, TELUS reported total emissions of approximately 1.38 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 62.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 240.9 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and approximately 1.078 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

TELUS has set ambitious climate commitments, including several Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals:

• Near-Term Targets:
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 85% by 2033 from a 2019 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 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.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel and employee commuting by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
  • Ensure 65% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods will have science-based targets by 2028.
• Long-Term Net-Zero Targets:
  • 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% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.

Additional commitments include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and aiming to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of the current decade (2023-2025). TELUS also targets reducing energy intensity per terabyte of data traffic by 50% from 2019 levels by 2030.
