Vodafone plans to halve Scope 3 emission in just four years
The company’s value chain emissions have increased by 20%, or more than 1 million tonnes, since 2020.
Vodafone’s first climate transition plan shows that the European telco expects Scope 3 emissions to remain above or around its 2020 baseline until 2026, giving it just four years to achieve its 50% reduction goal by 2030.
The company’s Scope 3 emissions have increased by 20% or more than 1 million tonnes since 2020, which Vodafone partly attributes to “improvements in the completeness and accuracy of data”. As of 2024, value chain emissions amounted to 6.07 million tonnes, with 49% coming from upstream suppliers and 14% from downstream, mostly consumer use of products.
