renewed targets, announced in January and validated by the SBTi.Singtel has unveiled its environmental sustainability strategy, which includes plans to certify all new buildings to Green Mark Platinum, the highest level of certification under the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) scheme. \nThis includes Singtel’s Comcentre headquarters along Orchard Road, where redevelopment works are expected to be complete by end-2028. When ready, the building will be “100% carbon-neutral”, says Singtel group chief executive officer Yuen Kuan Moon on March 27.\nIn addition, Singtel has raised the height of all its base stations to “at least 5m above sea level” to reduce flood risk, adds Yuen. \nAt the telco’s inaugural Singtel LEAD thought leadership forum, Yuen unveiled the telco’s “4D strategy”: to defend its infrastructure, decarbonise its operations through electrification, dematerialise unnecessary waste and deliver sustainable value by influencing its supply chain to take climate action.\nThe new strategy builds on Singtel’s renewed targets, announced in January and validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). By 2030, Singtel aims to cut group-wide Scope 1 and 2 direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by 55%, with 2023 as a base year. \nThe group also aims to cut Scope 3 third-party emissions by 40% by the end of the decade, using 2023 as the base year. \nSingtel set its first SBTi-aligned targets in 2017, aiming to cut absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its Singapore and Australian operations by 42% from its 2015 base year by 2030. As at end-2023, the group has already reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 20%.\nIn Yuen’s opening address, he revealed that Scope 3 emissions make up 89.05% of Singtel’s group-wide emissions as at end-FY2023, or March 2023. Scope 1 and 2, meanwhile, contributed just 0.16% and 10.8% respectively towards Singtel’s emissions portfolio.\nCompared to accounting for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, Yuen says measuring Scope 3 emissions is “less straightforward”, citing a “lack of representative data” from Singtel’s value chain. “We need more accurate calculation methods; we need to work more across our value chain to improve this.”\nIn July 2023, the telco brought forward its net-zero target to 2045 from 2050. With the updated pledge, Singtel is the only Asian telco with a net-zero target ahead of 2050. \nEnvironmental initiatives \nSince 2015, Singtel has invested $150 million to mitigate its environmental impact. As at end-2023, solar photovoltaic panels deployed across Singtel’s facilities in Singapore have allowed it to generate more than 2,100 megawatt-hour (MWh) annually. \nSingtel has also secured about 700,000 MWh of renewable-backed energy from 2025 to 2029, enough to meet a fifth of the energy needed across its Singapore and Australia operations. The telco says it is growing the proportion of renewable energy use across Singapore and Australia to 50% by 2030. \nFollowing a successful trial involving 21 electric vehicles in 2022, Singtel will convert its fleet of more than 150 vehicles in Singapore to electric models by 2028. This will cut its Scope 1 emissions by 450 tonnes annually. \nOn material waste, Singtel introduced half-size SIM cards in 2021, and has since introduced e-SIM on its subsidiary GOMO and tourist prepared services, and plans to introduce this for other mobile segments. \nIn addition, Singtel will no longer give out complimentary bags at its retail shops. \nThere is “no time to waste” if we want to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis, says Yuen. “This is why we’re pushing ourselves to go further and faster, with more aggressive SBTi climate commitments and bringing forward our net-zero target from 2050 to 2045. Our teams are fully engaged in pursuing these ambitious objectives through a comprehensive environmental strategy, supported by progressive programmes.”\nAs at 10.33am, shares in Singtel are trading flat at $2.53.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2422979168"}
