Telia recognized as Supplier Engagement Leader by CDP
Telia Company has scored an ‘A’ in CDP’s latest Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA). The widely recognized benchmark ranks Telia among the world’s top companies in engaging with suppliers on climate action – a process that’s more vital than ever, given that around 80% of Telia’s total emissions come from its supply chain.
The SEA assesses companies in areas such as governance, climate target-setting, value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and value chain engagement.
By the end of 2024, suppliers representing 62% of emissions in Telia’s supply chain had set science-based targets, verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative or equivalent, for emissions reductions. Telia has cut emissions in its own operations by 80% since 2018, and aims to reach net-zero by 2040.
Anna Augustson, Telia Company Group Head of Sustainability: “Telia’s ability to reduce emissions is closely tied to the actions of our suppliers. This excellent score shows that together, we’re making progress in building a greener supply chain and contributing to a more sustainable future.”
Transforming Telia’s supply chain is one of the priority areas in its Climate Transition Plan, alongside reducing emissions from its own operations and helping customers to lower their climate footprints through digital solutions.
