Recently the company surpassed its GHG intensity reduction target by 15%, bringing its GHG emissions per network usage down by 55% between 2019 and the end of 2021. Over the past two years, the company set the goal of achieving carbon neutral operations in 2025, and have has committed to science-based, absolute GHG reductions by 2030 that align with the most ambitious temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Bell also took practical steps that include prohibiting single-use plastics; the recovery of 2.5M e-devices from customers, donating the net proceeds to WWF, and achieved a rate of 63% overall waste diversion.; and began recovering and reusing telecom equipment from customer premises.
