Total CO2e emissions (Scopes 1 to 3) T-Systems International KPI
In addition to discussing the emissions of the Group as a whole, we provide separate information on Scope 1–3 emissions for T-Systems International. We present our Scope 1–3 greenhouse-gas emissions in a consistent manner, so that they can be compared with each other. To that end, emissions are converted into metric kilotons of CO2 equivalents (CO2e). In addition to CO2, we also consider CH4 and N2O, and are working on integrating HFCs (refrigerants) into the calculation as well. Biogenic CO2 emissions were not recorded separately for the year 2022, as they only occur to a small extent. We also break down emissions along our value chain. This gives us an overview of where most of the emissions are produced in the chain.
In 2022, market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions for T-Systems amounted to around 11 000metric tons of CO2e. In the same year, the Scope 3 emissions were 285 000 metric tons of CO2e, thereby accounting for the largest emissions share. Most of these emissions occurred in the upstream value chain, as well as in our customers’ use of T-Systems products and services. In those emissions, we also include emissions resulting from the use of our services by our customers’ own devices, such as laptops or tablet computers.
