“While T-Mobile's net-zero goal
is a decades-long endeavour, we
know how important it is to take
definitive actions now to reduce our
environmental impact for future
generations,” said Janice Kapner,
chief communications and corporate
responsibility officer at T-Mobile.
“We’re committed to measurable
progress and holding ourselves
accountable with strong governance
practices, consistent and transparent
reporting, and ongoing collaboration
with leading sustainability experts.”
The Climate Pledge, co-founded by
Amazon and Global Optimism in 2019,
is a collective commitment to achieve
net-zero 10 years ahead of The Paris
Agreement. T-Mobile joins nearly 400
organisations that have signed the
Pledge, all of which agree to:
* Measure and report greenhouse
gas emissions on a regular basis;
* Implement decarbonisation
strategies in line with the Paris
Agreement through real business
changes and innovations, including

other carbon emission elimination
strategies;
* Neutralise any remaining emissions
with additional, quantifiable, real,
permanent, and socially beneficial
offsets to achieve net zero annual
carbon emissions by 2040.
“We’re excited that T-Mobile is signing
The Climate Pledge and committing to
reach the Paris Agreement 10 years
early,” said Sally Fouts, Global Lead
of The Climate Pledge at Amazon.
“T-Mobile has set and achieved
aggressive renewable energy and
carbon reduction goals across its
operations, and we’re thrilled to see
the comprehensive and thoughtful
pathway they have charted to achieve
net-zero carbon by 2040.”
T-Mobile has a long track record
of dedication to building a more
sustainable future. It was previously
the first in U.S. wireless to achieve an
ambitious 100% renewable electricity
goal, as well as previous sciencebased carbon reduction goals. The
Un-carrier earned an A- for its 2022
CDP Climate Change disclosure, and
was recognised in the top 20 of JUST
Capital’s 2023 Rankings of America’s
Most Just Companies, including a
number one ranking in the telecom
industry for environmental impact.
