Telia Company launches Climate Transition Plan

By 2040, Telia is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. In our Climate Transition Plan, published today, we set out how we’re going to get there – and why our offerings can play a key role in helping to shape a low-carbon future.

As a mid-term target, Telia will cut emissions from our own operations by 90%, and by 50% in our whole value chain, in just five years’ time.

At the same time, Telia’s solutions – from 5G networks to the Internet of Things – can help people and businesses to reduce their footprint and save energy, thanks to increased digitalization and efficiency. We’re also working to ensure that even if climate change leads to more unpredictable weather, our services are as reliable as ever.

Anna Augustson, Telia Company Head of Group Sustainability: “Climate change is a global challenge, which makes climate action a shared responsibility. Telia’s Climate Transition Plan is focused on concrete actions – some we already do, some we need to scale up, and some we will start. We’re making progress, and everyone in our company has a role to play.”

The Climate Transition Plan, including a short film with Patrik Hofbauer, Telia Company President and CEO, is available here.

Telia’s Annual Report 2024, which gives an overview of the company’s sustainability progress and targets, was released on March 19 and can be accessed here. For more details of Telia’s sustainability work and initiatives, click here.
