Singtel has announced its environmental sustainability strategy, newly aligned with its evolved environmental ambitions and refreshed set of Science Based Targets initiative- validated targets and net-zero target of 2045.
The strategy involves four thrusts – referred to as 4D – which covers environmental initiatives across assets, operations, waste and supply chain.
Singtel says that it has invested US$112 million in mitigating its environmental impact since 2015. Under this new strategy, Singtel aims to accelerate its fleet conversion to cover more than 150 vehicles in Singapore to electric models by 2028 after a successful trial involving 21 electric vehicles in 2022.
It has also secured about 700,000 MWh of renewable-backed energy from 2025 to 2029, sufficient for about 20% of its operational energy needs across its Singapore and Australian operations. It is working to grow the proportion of its energy usage across Singapore and Australia backed by renewable energy to 50% by 2030.
Other initiatives include a carbon footprint dashboard for enterprise customers and reduced packaging for its products.The strategy is supported by new and expanded environmental programmes including transitioning to renewable energy, electrifying its Singapore vehicle fleet, and reducing packaging and materials by offering electronic SIM cards to more customer segments. Singtel is the only Asian telco with a net-zero target ahead of 2050.
