ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Environment protection is especially important for us, and we put extra emphasis on climate protection in the context of our operations. In addition to sustainable and responsible operations, we believe it is our responsibility to make our customers, vendors and partners more climate conscious, too, i.e. providing opportunities to them to make their lives more environment-conscious.

Magyar Telekom is committed to environment protection. We were the first among Hungarian large enterprises and one of the first among international telecoms to become carbon-neutral in 2015.

Long-term emission reduction targets

  • reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions 30% by 2030 from a 2017 base-year
  • reduse absolute Scop 3 GHG emissions 30% by 2030 from a 2017 base-year

In 2021, we designed our new five-year-strategy’s climate protection cornerstones in line with our long-term commitments which include the reduction of our direct and indirect emissions to zero.
