TELUS, a leading wireless service provider, turned to Net Zero Cloud to understand emissions across its entire value chain and provide stakeholders with investor-grade carbon accounting that is accurate, compliant, and transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Driving the news:<\/strong> As TELUS continues to work toward carbon neutrality by 2030, it is also facing more complex disclosure requirements around Scope 3 emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2011, TELUS announced initial climate targets of 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and 10% reduction in absolute energy usage by 2020. With insights from Net Zero Cloud, TELUS has since identified science-based targets and a path to net zero. Its goal of carbon neutrality by 2030 includes a 46% reduction in emissions without offsets and a Scope 3 target of 75% intensity reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEngaging with our value chain and hitting our Scope 3 targets will have such a huge impact,\u201d said TELUS Sr. Sustainability Strategy Manager, Terry Hickey. \u201cOur Scope 1 and 2 emissions are 253,000 tonnes, which is a lot but very small compared to our Scope 3 emissions, which are over three million tonnes per year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Engaging with our value chain and hitting our Scope 3 targets will have such a huge impact. Our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are 253,000 tonnes, which is a lot but very small compared to our Scope 3 emissions, which are over three million tonnes per year.<\/p>Terry Hickey, Sr. Sustainability Strategy Manager, TELUS <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Why it\u2019s important: <\/strong>Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions produced by a company\u2019s value chain (upstream in the supply chain and downstream in distribution channels and customer use). They are challenging to track because the data is housed in siloed systems and often requires input from third parties. However, accurately capturing this data is critical to calculating a company\u2019s true carbon footprint as value chain emissions can account for the majority of a business\u2019s emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As reporting grows increasingly complex and detailed, companies need to find accurate, real-time, automated systems to manage the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen it comes to sustainability reporting, you never have to report less,\u201d said Hickey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zoom out<\/strong>: Net Zero Cloud pulls TELUS\u2019 data from a variety of locations, both internally and externally, accessing more than 300,000 records annually. Records include the amount of diesel fuel burned, fuel fill-ups, generator use, prime power usage, remote locations, and environmental spill-and-release reporting \u2013 and that\u2019s before supply chain data is tallied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The TELUS team uses Net Zero Cloud to collect and organize all this information into one dashboard that shows overall progress while drilling down to identify specific areas for improvement. It can aggregate important sustainability metrics within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The customer perspective: <\/strong>\u201cNet Zero Cloud has helped reduce the number of discrepancies in our sustainability calculations,\u201d said Hickey. \u201cThe math is simple, but with so many inputs, there’s so much room for human error. Net Zero Cloud offers a consistent approach and calculation for everything, so we know we\u2019re accurate and transparent with our stakeholders. We\u2019re also able to plan and execute on our climate action goals much more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Net Zero Cloud offers a consistent approach and calculation for everything, so we know we\u2019re accurate and transparent with our stakeholders. <\/span>We\u2019re also able to plan and execute on our climate action goals much more effectively.”<\/p>Terry Hickey, Sr. Sustainability Strategy Manager, TELUS<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TELUS, a leading wireless service provider, turned to Net Zero Cloud to understand emissions across its entire value chain and provide stakeholders with investor-grade carbon accounting that is accurate, compliant, and transparent.
