Air Pollutant Emissions

GRI 305-6GRI 305-7

The Company operates two stationary sources that emit air pollutants. Detailed emissions data for the reporting period are presented in the table below.

Scope 1 emissions remained nearly flat over the three-year period, reflecting consistent fuel usage patterns. In contrast, Scope 2 emissions doubled between 2022 and 2024, largely due to a significant increase in electricity consumption. This may be attributed to the connection of new technical facilities or improved data coverage. As a result, total Scope 1 and 2 emissions reached 265,194.4 tonnes of CO2e in 2024 – nearly double the 2022 level.

The levels of harmful substances emitted from fuel combustion remained stable, showing only slight increases. This indicates consistent consumption of motor fuels (gasoline and diesel) and no introduction of new fuel types into the energy mix.

In 2024, CO2e emission intensity increased across all indicators. The most significant rise was in emissions per employee (+40.6 %), driven by a reduction in headcount while total emissions remained unchanged. Emissions per unit of revenue and per petabyte of data traffic also increased, potentially indicating a decline in energy efficiency. These trends highlight the need for energy management initiatives and further digital transformation.
