Teleperformance’s New Carbon Emissions Targets Approved by Science Based Targets Initiative
New targets align with more ambitious framework for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels
PARIS & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Teleperformance (TP) (Paris:TEP), a global leader in digital business services, announced today that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated the company's new ambitious near-term goals for science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. The new targets meet the rigorous criteria and recommendations set by SBTi, confirming TP’s commitment to aligning its sustainability efforts with the latest climate science.
TP’s new emissions goals align with SBTi’s framework for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, while prior targets were aligned with the less aggressive 2°C trajectory. They also reflect the addition of legacy Majorel operations into the company’s baseline trajectory as part of post-acquisition integration. The updated targets extend the timeline for achieving these new emissions goals from 2026 to 2030.
With the SBTi validation, TP aims to reduce its near-term absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 56.7% by 2030, as compared to the 2019 base year, and to reducing its absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 27.5% within the same timeframe. The strategy emphasizes reducing energy consumption, including more streamlined IT infrastructure and energy management systems, increasing the use of renewable energy, reducing waste and applying green building standards when possible. It also includes helping clients transition to a low-carbon economy through remote work program options.
SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the global climate crisis. It is a collaboration between the CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute and the World Wide Fund for Nature.
TP’s ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact are part of its global Citizen of the Planet initiative, which mandates that TP operates with the environment in mind. The company is one of the first signatories of the Climate Pledge, a coalition of hundreds of companies pledging to be carbon neutral by 2040, 10 years ahead of the standard outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement. Additionally, TP was recently honored with the Frost & Sullivan Institute’s Enlightened Growth Leadership award for the fourth consecutive year, showcasing the company’s dedication to sustainability, growth, and innovation. The institute recognizes companies that show a strong commitment to adopting emerging technologies and practices, creating opportunities for all, and maintaining consistent growth while promoting sustainable development.
