Greening Digital Companies 2024: Monitoring emissions and climate commitments

Digital companies are actively contributing to the global goal of achieving a carbon-free planet. They are making significant efforts such as purchasing renewable energy, investing in carbon removal, issuing green bonds, and advocating for environmental policies. Additionally, digital products and services are enabling emissions reductions in various sectors.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the World Benchmarking Alliance  (WBA) have collaborated on a joint report titled “Greening Digital Companies 2024: Monitoring Emissions and Climate Commitments.” This report now in its third edition, examines the emissions and energy usage of 200 leading tech companies worldwide. It not only assesses their climate data and targets but also serves as a valuable resource for companies to learn from best practices and enhance their emissions reduction performance. The report sheds light on the operational emissions and electricity consumption of the ICT sector, with particular focus on Scope 3 emissions.

The launch of the report will involve discussions on key findings and feature insights from companies, civil society, governments, and UN agencies.
