Regulatory News:
Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris, London Stock Exchange,
ETL), one of the world's leading satellite communications
operators, is unwavering in its commitment to combatting global
warming and has outlined a set of ambitious targets to reduce the
environmental impact of all its operations, aligning itself with
the goals of the Paris Agreement.
By 2030, the Group is committed to reducing its energy-related
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scopes 1+2) by 50% compared to the
2021 baseline year. In order to achieve its targets, the Group
plans to:
- increase the proportion of renewable energies in its overall
energy consumption, notably through the procurement of lower-carbon
energy for several of the key operational facilities.
- as well as expand electricity generation capacity from solar
panels owned and operated at its teleports in France, Italy,
Portugal, and Mexico
- and optimize electrical consumption at teleports by replacing
and renewing obsolete equipment
The Group will shortly submit these targets to the Science Based
Targets Initiative (SBTi), in order to provide an independent
assessment and validation of these targets.
In addition, the Group is launching a detailed re-assessment of
its Scope 3 emissions to be conducted in 2024. Since 2021 the Group
has been reporting its full Scope 3 emissions, including the impact
of the geostationary satellite fleet (GEO). In the future, and
following the integration of OneWeb in its operations, Eutelsat
Group will enhance its Scope 3 calculations to include the LEO
satellite constellation and the associated ground infrastructure,
principally the Satellite Network Portals (SNPs). This holistic
approach reflects the Group’s dedication to understanding its
carbon footprint, enhancing its sustainability efforts and
contributing to the global fight against climate change.
“In a world marked by critical environmental challenges,
Eutelsat Group is dedicated to implementing ambitious measures to
reduce its energy-related emissions and safeguard the environment,
both on Earth and in space. We firmly believe that integrating
environmental considerations at the core of our business is
imperative for ensuring the long-term success of our operations and
drive sustainable value creation” states Jean-Hubert Lenotte, Chief
Strategy and Resources Officer, Executive Committee Member.
