Greening Digital Companies Report 2024
In this issue
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) have collaborated on the joint “Greening Digital Companies: Monitoring Emissions and Climate Commitments 2024” report. This year’s report, now in its third edition, offers an in-depth evaluation of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy usage of 200 digital companies, focusing on corporate value chain (Scope 3) emissions. These emissions, which encompass both upstream and downstream activities, represent the most significant portion of the carbon footprint for these companies. Despite the digital sector’s commitment to environmental sustainability, GHG emissions and energy consumption have risen, with artificial intelligence further exacerbating the sector’s environmental footprint.
