Climate change is not a future threat. There is rapidly accumulating evidence of climate change across the globe—more frequent wildfires, increased droughts and heatwaves, changes in precipitation patterns, more frequent and stronger hurricanes, rising sea levels, and the Arctic projected to be ice-free in summer within a decade. The science is clear. There is no denying the massive effects of global climate change on social and economic life, not just regionally but across the planet. In the United States, the regional impacts of climate change have been clearly recorded. Every region of the USA is expected to see a variety of harmful social, anthropological, and economic impacts, including on agriculture, infrastructure, communications, supply chains, and public health. Taking speedy action on climate change has never been more urgent. Evidence shows that humanity is taking grave risks with the stability of the Earth’s life support system if global average surface temperature continues to rise. Reducing this risk means working together to stabilize temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures. This was the focus of the Paris Agreement, signed by 196 parties in 2015. In 2018, a special report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) detailed the impact of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, showing the need to keep the warming to that maximum. To achieve this goal, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be halved every decade, reaching net-zero by 2050. Collaborative Approach to Climate Leadership In 2021, MobileComm, partnered with Ericsson, a co-founder of the 1.5°C Supply Chain Leaders initiative together with Telia, BT Group, IKEA, and Unilever. This initiative aims to align global supply chains around the common message to halve emissions by 2030 and become net zero by 2050. We have set a carbon reduction target for our own operations by 2030. Specifically, carbon emissions from MobileComm’s fleet vehicles and from energy usage at our facilities must be halved by 2030, with a further 50% reduction each decade thereafter, with the aim of making our operations net carbon neutral by 2050. MobileComm has publicly committed at Small and Medium Enterprise Hub (SME) to these 1.5°C-aligned climate targets. Our progress in reaching each target will be reported publicly by MobileComm each year. Emissions Scopes and the SBTi According to the GHG Protocol, emissions are divided into three scopes. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from the activities of an organization or under their control, such as direct energy combustion in facilities or company fleet vehicles. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions, for example purchased electricity. Scope 3 comprises indirect emissions from the rest of the company’s value chain. Following the Protocol, which emissions to focus on depends on the industry in question. As a first step, the target to be set should cover scope 1 and 2 emissions. However, depending on the industry and if a big part of the emissions comes from the rest of the value chain, parts of scope 3 may be relevant as well. To determine whether scopes 1, 2, and 3 should be applied, Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) criteria for 1.5-degree targets are addressed. The SBTi is the lead partner of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign—an urgent call to action from a global coalition of UN agencies, business and industry leaders, mobilizing companies to set net-zero science-based targets in line with a 1.5°C future. It defines and promotes best practice in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science. To this end, the SBTi provides technical help and expertise to companies that set targets in line with the latest climate science, including target assessment and validation. [Graphic: Stockholm Resilience Centre] Governance MobileComm’s climate action is driven by the environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) organization within the Business Operations group. Each services category has a Climate Coordinator. Progress on each climate target is reported via the Climate Action and Sustainability program governed by MobileComm´s Executive Team, as well as within the EHS organization. Expanding Climate Action With a 1.5°C aligned target in place, MobileComm will participate in the climate action leadership program to plan and execute services and operations designed to be carbon net neutral. It is our aim to encourage other companies within our community to examine emissions in their full value chain and help spread the message of climate action further within our own supply chains and socioeconomic interactions.
