Telia was the first telecom company in Sweden to receive environmental certification. For our business customers, that means peace of mind: our environmental practices are continuously improved and audited by independent experts.
As companies are increasingly expected to take responsibility for their entire value chain, choosing the right partners matters. The companies you work with shape how your business is perceived – and what risks you carry. Sustainability isn't just about values anymore; it's part of your business strategy.
For 16 years, consumers have ranked Telia as Sweden's most sustainable telecom brand. That's because we're committed to long-term, measurable sustainability work:
Cut emissions in half by 2030.
100% renewable electricity in our networks since 2007.
Net zero by 2040 – including our supply chain.
Energy-efficient data centers and phasing out legacy technology.
Digital services that enable customer emission reductions.
The telecom sector has a unique opportunity to reduce both its own climate impact and help others reduce theirs. Telia plays a central role in making that happen.
Our gold rating from EcoVadis and A rating from CDP reflect two decades of focused work. We were the first in the industry to achieve environmental certification (2001), the first to power our networks with fossil-free electricity (2007), and early adopters of science-based climate targets.
At the same time, we're building a more inclusive digital society. With Sweden's best mobile network, we create opportunities for businesses, organizations, and employees to work and live digitally – wherever they are. We also run initiatives that promote digital inclusion for newcomers, small business owners, and groups at risk of being left behind.
