All in for net-zero.
To be a force for good in the world, we’re focusing on where we can drive change and have a positive impact on the environment through our business. It’s important to our customers and other stakeholders that we’re minimizing our carbon footprint and enabling solutions that benefit the environment as the world transitions to a net-zero economy.
That’s why we’re striving to achieve meaningful change, and in 2022, we set our most ambitious goal yet—to reach net-zero emissions for our entire carbon footprint by 2040—a first in the U.S. wireless industry. This target aligns our emissions reduction efforts with leading climate science and is the north star that guides our environmental efforts, with all other targets and initiatives tying back to this important milestone.
We’ll continue to report our progress in our annual Corporate Responsibility Report and to CDP, where we earned an A- for our 2023 CDP Climate Change disclosures. To learn about the actions we’re taking to reach net-zero by 2040, check out our Pathway to Net-Zero.
Achieve net-zero Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2040.
NEAR-TERM TARGET
Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions 55% by 2030 from a 2020 base year.
LONG-TERM TARGET
Reach net-zero GHG emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 by 2040 from a 2020 base year. As part of this commitment,

Renewable energy plays an important role in reducing our carbon footprint, particularly in minimizing Scope 2 emissions. That’s why we’re part of RE100, a global initiative that unites businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity. In 2018, we set an ambitious goal to source renewable energy equivalent to 100% of our total electricity usage by 2021—a goal we’re proud to have achieved and maintained each year since.
Our Red Dirt wind farm power purchase agreement contributes to carbon emissions reductions of over 250,000 metric tons annually.
Solomon Forks wind farm provides approximately 680,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of new renewable energy annually.
Maryneal wind farm will match approximately 9% of T-Mobile ’s energy consumption.
Our large solar and wind farm agreements are contracted to provide T-Mobile with 3.4 million MWh of clean energy annually.
“As we know sustainability is important to our customers and stakeholders, T-Mobile has made great progress in reducing our environmental footprint – and now we're taking even bigger steps to reduce our carbon emissions with a commitment to meeting SBTi’s Net-Zero Standard,” said Mike Sievert, T-Mobile CEO. “We are proud that we are doing our part to create a sustainable future for all – including becoming the first in U.S. wireless to set this bold target. And we hope companies like ours — and the partners and suppliers we work alongside — will join us in setting their own aggressive longer-term goals like these.”
