TELESAT's reported carbon emissions
Telesat, headquartered in Canada, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. The company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As of now, Telesat's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Telesat may be in the early stages of formalising its climate action plans. In the context of the telecommunications industry, companies are increasingly expected to disclose their carbon footprints and set ambitious targets to mitigate climate impact. Telesat's future efforts in this area will be crucial for aligning with industry standards and responding to stakeholder expectations.
