TELSTRA has announced a target to reduce its carbon emissions by at least 10% by 2015.
Telstra chief executive officer David Thodey says it aims to adopt to the changing climate conditions.
"We are setting a realistic and achievable target for carbon intensity because we are serious about reducing our impact on the environment," he says.
According to Telstra from 2008-09, the company emitted 1.52 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, or 64 tonnes per million dollars of domestic revenue of CO2. The target requires Telstra to reduce this to at least 58 tonnes per million dollars of domestic revenue by 2015.
Telstra claims it will achieve the reductions by investing in energy efficient projects, undertaking energy saving projects in exisitng facilities, implement staff training to reduce office and vehicle fleet emissions and adopting low carbon information and communications technologies (ICT) solutions
