More than 50 mobile operators have agreed to start disclosing their climate impacts.
The companies. which include AT&.T. BT Group. Orange and Vodafone. are making the move as part of a major initiative led by GSMA. a global mobile operator trade body.
The scheme aims to develop a decarbonisation pathway in line with the Paris Agreement to be in place by February 2020. which will be verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – this will work towards the industry going net-zero by 2050. although the GSMA expects that some companies will meet the net-zero target significantly ahead of this deadline.
The 50 firms collectively account for more than two-thirds of mobile connections globally and will share their emissions through CDP to enable full transparency for investors and customers.
Paul Simpson. CEO of CDP. said: We welcome this move by the mobile sector to disclose its climate impacts via CDP. which demonstrates a clear step-up in commitment to providing transparency to its investors and customers as part of an industry-wide approach.
As a result of these disclosures. mobile operators will be able to measure and understand their environmental impact. helping them to build sustainability into the heart of their businesses.
