Climate strategy approach
At Orange, we believe that technological progress must be available to everyone, but not at the expense of the natural environment. We take responsibility for our impact on the climate.
#OrangeGoesGreen – our approach to climate and environmental impact management
We believe that only real actions based on scientific consensus and consistent with international standards aligned with the Paris Agreement, such as SBTi guidelines, can produce tangible and verifiable results. Orange Polska’s goals and actions related to CO2e emission management fall in line with these criteria.
The Orange Goes Green programme covers climate and environmental initiatives to ensure the achievement of our climate objectives defined in Orange Polska’s climate policy, which was adopted in 2021.
Orange Polska achieved its intermediate climate targets for 2025 already in 2023, that is two years ahead of the plan:
- 74% of renewable energy in our energy mix compared to 2015 (vs. target of 60%);
- A reduction in own emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 79% compared to 2015 (vs. target of 65%).
A subsequent step will be to reduce emissions in the value chain (scopes 1, 2 and 3) by 45% in 2030 versus 2020.
The global objective of the Orange Group is to become climate neutral (achieve net zero carbon) by 2040 with respect to all emissions (both its own and across the value chain). This commitment has been validated by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) to be aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement (to limit global warming by the end of the 21st century to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels). Orange Polska has adopted and consistently pursued the same goal.
Our climate objective covers all emissions, both own (direct and indirect) and across the value chain (emissions by suppliers, customers and employees related to Orange Polska’s activities). These are referred to as Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions according to the GHG Protocol methodology.
