2022 Corporate Responsibility Report

Green employee networks at our national companies

Numerous employee initiatives aimed at sustainability and environmental protection are also running at the national companies of Deutsche Telekom AG:

T-Systems Iberia (Spain)
Founded by T-Systems ITC Iberia at the end of 2019, the T-OGETHER community started its work at the beginning of 2020. T-OGETHER is a group of volunteers dedicated to promoting sustainable initiatives. At the heart of this community is an Executive Committee. It is supported by an internal advisory committee made up of some 15 experts in environmental issues, corporate responsibility, and communications. The aim of T-OGETHER is to develop ideas for sustainability in line with the company’s ecological and social goals. The members develop initiatives and propose them to the company management. Once an initiative and budget have been approved, the board of management initiates the implementation process. In the year under review, one of T-OGETHER’s initiatives involved creating a poster to raise employees’ awareness of sustainability.

Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions Hungary
At DT IT Solutions Hungary, seven experts within a Sustainability Core Team are working to raise employee awareness about the need to reduce electricity, water and paper consumption; to promote waste recycling; and to encourage more-efficient use of the company’s vehicle fleet. Environmentally-friendly photocopying and printing techniques, and the use of paperless communication were two focal areas in the year under review. In addition, a 90-member strong Green Activists Community is working to make it easier for employees to contact colleagues with regard to environmental concerns – for example, via a dedicated site within our YAM UNITED internal social network.

Magyar Telekom (Hungary)
In 2019, Magyar Telekom became the first company in Hungary to launch a community solar project. As part of the project, Magyar Telekom employees can rent a solar panel from the company for one year. As a reward for their contribution to Deutsche Telekom’s climate protection activities, the donors receive benefits such as an additional day off. The solar modules have been installed on Magyar Telekom’s training facility; the energy generated is used on site. The panels cover a quarter of the building’s energy consumption. The project was continued again in 2022, with a total of 200 employees making use of this offer in the year under review.

Other national companies committed to a more sustainable corporate culture include:

  • T-Mobile US (USA): Employees of this U.S. company have formed an online community focused on sustainability. In it, around 100 employees regularly discuss and keep up-to-date with T-Mobile’s environmental initiatives. 
  • Magenta Telekom: About 30 employees of this company in Austria served as Climate Rangers in the year under review, using joint initiatives and workshops to make the issue of climate protection more tangible.
  • T-Systems Limited (UK): An interdepartmental team reviews, discusses and promotes sustainability issues within the company.
  • OTE Group (Greece): The Green Ambassadors, founded in 2019, are working to create a green culture, inspire OTE Group employees, collect ideas and provide information about projects such as #ZEROPLASTIC and recycling programs.
  • T-Systems do Brasil Ltda.: The T-Green Team is committed to recycling and donation campaigns as well as to communicating ways to save energy and cut waste both inside and outside the company.
  • Employee communities are also active, or in the process of being established, at other national companies such as T-Mobile Czech Republic, Hrvatski Telekom (Croatia), T-Systems Mexico, and DT IT Solutions Slovakia.
