Contributing to the green transition
Proximus has a dual role to play in the fight against climate change. We reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move towards a circular economy, while also developing technology and solutions to empower consumers, businesses and organizations to limit their own footprint.
Our net-zero targets
Proximus Group is committed to achieving net zero GHG emissions across our entire value chain by 2040, using 2020 as the baseline. This goal, which has been validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), requires cutting at least 90% of our direct and indirect total emissions and using carbon removal technologies for the remaining emissions (less than 10%).
Near-term targets:
- reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 66% in 2030 from a 2020 base year;
- reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% in 2030 from a 2020 base year;
- continue active annual sourcing of 100% renewable electricity through 2030.
Long-term targets:
- Maintain a minimum of 95% absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emission reductions from 2030 through 2040 (from a 2020 base year).
- Reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 (from a 2020 base year). Reaching our net-zero target means we need to work on all three scopes. However, for a telco and ICT operator like Proximus, most of the work lies in reducing scope 3 emissions
We commit to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our entire value chain by 2040 and we aim to play a leading role in Belgium’s green transition.
