Telenor’s corporate responsibility report
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
AND CLIMATE PROTECTION
We monitor the emissions generated by
our business operations and constantly
search for newways to decrease our energy
consumption and carbon footprint.
INDIRECT EMISSIONS
For 2014 we had 40 000 tons of СО2-equiva-
lent emissions through electricity and central
heating (Level 2) consumption. Approximately
78% of these emissions are from our telecom
network. Thus, the main focus of our environ-
mental protection efforts is on reduced net-
work energy consumption measures.
We measure our greenhouse gas emission
(GHG) levels using the emission factors of
the International Energy Agency (IEA). We re-
port direct greenhouse gas emissions from
fuel consumption for internal company needs
(Level 1), indirect emissions from electrical and
heating energy (Level 2), as well as other indi-
rect emissions through the goods and services
used (Level 3).
DIRECT EMISSIONS
In 2014 the greenhouse gas emissions gen-
erated as a result of fuel consumption are 2
800 tons of CO2-equivalent. As direct (Level
1) emissions we also count those generated
by refrigerants. In our 2014 rebranding proj-
ect we did a full renovations of 20 retail stores
and 80% of our network. Due to legal require-
ments to discontinue certain cooling agents
starting in 2015 we upgraded a large number
of air conditioning systems. All of that required
the use of a lot of cooling agents totaling up to
3200 tons of СО2-equivalent.
