MONTREAL – Bell Canada today said it is the first North American communications company to achieve ISO 50001 certification for energy management by announcing a plan to be carbon neutral across its operations in 2025.
“Bell’s goal is to advance how Canadians connect with each other and the world, a purpose enabled by consistent execution of the highest environmental, social and governance standards across the company’s operations,” said Gordon Nixon, chair of the board of BCE, in the press release.
Bell’s new commitment is highlighted in the company’s Annual Report to shareholders, available today at BCE.ca. The report outlines the “targets and metrics for environmental sustainability; diversity and inclusion; privacy and information security; and community investment, including the ground-breaking Bell Let’s Talk mental health initiative,” reads the company release.
“Our climate commitment extends throughout our own operations, and through the Bell network and customer service innovations that are critical enablers of the green economy, including the potential for 5G connections to enable unprecedented reductions in greenhouse gas emissions,” added Mirko Bibic, president and CEO.
