Reducing Scope 3 emissions

More than 97% of the Swisscom Group’s emissions (market-based) are attributable to Scope 3, making this the greatest lever for decarbonisation. For the purposes of reduction measures, these indirect emissions are broken down into three main areas: supply chain, employee mobility and circular economy. In the reporting year, Scope 3 emissions decreased by 9%, due to a variety of factors: emissions reductions achieved by suppliers, increased efficiency of CPE’s in terms of material and electricity usage, the decarbonisation of energy grids especially in Switzerland and lower expenses in Italy. With this reduction, the Group is well on track to reach its SBTi near-term targets for Scope 3.
