In 2021, we made a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Better Energy to ensure the establishment of four new solar parks. During 2022, we activated all four solar parks, which will supply 140 GWh of green electricity in 2023, covering at least 60% of our total energy consumption.
Promoting the transition to a sustainable future
As Denmark’s leading provider of digital infrastructure, we have a key role in enabling society’s transition to a green and sustainable future. We take this responsibility very seriously. That is why we are leading the way with sustainable, future-proof solutions.
”As Denmark’s leading digital infrastructure provider, we take our responsibility for the climate crisis very seriously. We are the first company in the world with a SBTi validated 2030 net-zero target. Building on our strong digital infrastructure and technological solutions, we wish to enable the green transition in Denmark. For the benefit of our customers, partners and society at large.”

TDC NET's path to sustainability
What we have achieved
What we have achieved
Our sustainability report shows the results we have achieved so far – and the work still have ahead of us.
Our fourth solar park now delivers green electricity
Strong green profile
We have received a platinum ranking from EcoVadis for the second consecutive year. According to their assessment, we are among the top 1% most sustainable companies worldwide assessed by EcoVadis. The rating evaluates the areas of Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Ambitious climate target
We are proud to be the first company in the world with science-based targets aligned with the latest climate science. In 2022, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated our targets of becoming net-zero in our own operations by 2028 and in our entire value chain by 2030.
We continued digging in 2022, and have now rolled out fibre network to 607k addresses in total.

By rolling out fibre to 109k addresses in 2022, our field service and delivery team expanded our futureproof fixed network solution, which is also more energy-efficient compared with legacy technology. A recent study shows that fibre requires 40-60% less energy compared to other fixed network solutions such as copper.

Digital innovation
Jointly with Ericsson, we are continuing to explore 5G as the driving force behind our 5G innovation hub – for example, 5G connected robots.
A greener vehicle fleet
Using AI and algorithms, we are currently working to reduce the number of kilometres driven by our technicians.
Our 5G network brought TV viewers closer to the Tour de France riders
Together with TV 2, we dedicated 10% of our 5G network so that TV 2 could broadcast live. That was a major milestone for us, highlighting our position as a supplier of critical infrastructure in Denmark and that, as a first mover, we try new ideas on our resilient and high-performing network.
