To Help Reducing Scope 2 Emissions by 35% by 2030 Using Energy-Efficient Networking Solutions
Telcoset shares responsibility to reduce Scope 2 emissions by 35% by optimizing energy use through energy-efficient networking equipment and smart building technologies. This will be achieved by upgrading to energy-efficient hardware and implementing IoT-based smart energy management systems for better control over energy consumption in office buildings and data centers.
Key Actions:
- Deploy Energy-Efficient Hardware: Migrate to switches, servers, and EnergyWise technology to significantly lower power consumption in data centers and network infrastructure.
- Smart Building Technologies: Implement Connected Building Solutions and IoT devices to manage and optimize heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and other building systems based on occupancy and usage patterns.
- Real-Time Energy Monitoring: Leverage IoT sensors and dashboard tools to monitor, analyze, and optimize energy consumption in real time across all Telcoset facilities.
Annual Reporting Metrics:
- Reduction in energy use attributed to hardware upgrades.
- CO2e emissions avoided through smart building technologies.
- Percentage of energy consumption monitored and optimized through IoT systems.
To Help Reducing Scope 3 Emissions from Product Lifecycle by 30% by 2030 Through Circular Economy and Recycling Programs
Telcoset shares responsibility to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030 by actively participating in vendor’s Takeback and Recycle programs and promoting the use of Refresh products (certified refurbished hardware). This will reduce emissions associated with product manufacturing, transportation, and disposal, while extending the lifespan of IT infrastructure.
Key Actions:
- Takeback and Recycle Program: Partner with Vendors to facilitate the return and recycling of obsolete IT equipment from clients and internal operations, ensuring responsible disposal and reuse of materials.
- Refresh Program: Promote and increase the use of Refresh (refurbished products) in Telcoset’s projects and with clients to reduce the demand for new hardware manufacturing, lowering overall emissions.
- Lifecycle Extension Initiatives: Offer maintenance and extended support for existing equipment to prolong its operational life, minimizing the need for frequent replacements.
Annual Reporting Metrics:
- Volume of equipment recycled through Takeback and Recycle program.
- Percentage of projects utilizing Refresh products.
- Emissions reduced through the reuse and refurbishment of hardware.
Reporting and Monitoring:
Telcoset will track progress toward these goals with Sustainability Insights tools, which provide visibility into energy usage and environmental impacts across networking and data center equipment. These insights will be shared publicly via the annual Sustainability Progress Report and available for stakeholders and customers to view on the company website.
Solutions Supporting These Goals:
- EnergyWise: A power management feature embedded in devices, enabling Telcoset to monitor and reduce energy usage across its IT infrastructure.
- IoT and Smart Building Solutions: Solutions to help optimize building systems and energy consumption in real-time, contributing to more efficient use of resources.
- Takeback and Recycle Program: initiative for safely returning used devices, reducing the environmental impact of electronic waste.
