Environment and health

In line with its cost consciousness Tele2 promotes a sustainable development of the environment by reducing resource consumption and environmental impact of its operations. The main areas through which Tele2 impacts resources and the environment are:

• Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
• Waste management and recycling
• Visual intrusion from masts and antennas

Energy consumption is measured and monitored and greenhouse gas emissions are estimated. Both should be taken into account when making investment decisions. Tele2 places strict environmental demands on company cars. All new cars should be environmentally friendly vehicles, unless particular requirements prevent such cars from being used.

Superfluous electric and electronic equipment should always be considered for use elsewhere within Tele2. If there is no need for the equipment in the organization it should be sold to a third party. If this is not an option, Tele2 recycles the product. We also encourage customers to use digital e-invoices to minimize the use of paper.

In particularly sensitive surroundings, Tele2 is limiting the visual intrusion of masts and antennas in its networks.
