Odido focuses on sustainability and achieves a gold certification

Odido has been awarded a Gold certification by EcoVadis for its efforts in corporate social responsibility. With this Gold rating, the telecom provider ranks among the top 5% of companies worldwide. Odido is deeply rooted in society and continuously invests in initiatives that benefit both our planet and the community. The provider sees the EcoVadis Gold rating as recognition of its ongoing commitment to responsible business practices.

Odido aims to make technology more human, sustainable, and inclusive. The company believes that technology can have a positive impact on society. That is why the provider fully integrates corporate social responsibility into its business strategy and operations. And with success: last year, Odido, then still T-Mobile, earned a Silver certification. This year, the provider has made significant progress and achieved Gold. 

Exceptional achievement in environmental sustainability 
The score is determined by analyzing companies across four themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Odido scores above average in the telecom sector on all themes, but particularly excels in environmental performance, achieving an exceptional 90 out of 100 points, well above the sector average of 47 points. Odido aims to further minimize its own carbon footprint and is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2028. To achieve this, Odido uses 100% renewable energy to power its network, as well as its data centers, offices, and stores. In addition, over the coming years, the entire vehicle fleet will become electric, and all stores will be renovated and insulated to eliminate gas usage." 

To further realize its sustainability ambitions across the entire value chain, Odido has already taken concrete steps. For example, all network equipment is reused or recycled, and the telecom provider has eliminated the use of plastic in its logistics chain.

Increasingly sustainable choices 
Søren Abildgaard, CEO at Odido: “As an organization, we are making increasingly sustainable choices. We do everything we can to make our technology more sustainable, and with this Gold rating, we demonstrate that strengthening our ESG policies is a priority. I am proud that we have improved compared to the previous assessment.”
