Agreement for Sustainable Development

As reported by TelecomTalk, Telia Estonia and renewable energy solutions developer Sunly City entered into an agreement last spring, under which Sunly City will construct solar installations near approximately 100 of Telia's mobile masts in the country by the end of 2024.

Telia Estonia says the solar installations represent the company's largest renewable energy project to date. "The entire Telia Company group – including Telia Estonia – has committed to achieving net-zero emissions and 100 percent reuse and recycling of waste by 2030."

Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

Telia says it is committed to achieving net zero by 2040. To achieve net zero, Telia must reduce emissions by 90 percent (compared to the base year 2018) and neutralize the rest. By 2030, Telia commits to at least halving absolute GHG emissions compared to 2018 and offsetting the rest, while continuing to move towards net-zero.
