Beyond value chain mitigation (BVCM)

Swisscom has set itself the target of reducing its emissions by 90% by 2035, with the residual 10% to be neutralised through high-quality carbon dioxide removal certificates. Alongside its ambitious net zero target, Swisscom is taking further responsibility for its ongoing direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) now rather than later. In Switzerland, Swisscom has been investing in climate projects since 2020, making a positive contribution to the global climate, and it sees this as an essential lever for reaching targets set under the Paris Agreement. Swisscom predominantly follows the SBTi guidelines and anticipates a revision in 2026. Swisscom takes responsibility for ongoing emissions under the beyond value chain mitigation (BVCM) project in three ways.
