Bell said last week it’s been recognized for its corporate responsibility, and that it has achieved an important milestone for its greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy. Corporate Knights has named Bell the top telecom company in the world, and the fourth company in Canada overall, on the Best 50 Corporate Citizens list.
Corporate Knights is a media, research and financial information products company based in Toronto, Canada. It says it’s focused on “promoting an economic system where prices fully incorporate social, economic and ecological costs and benefits, and market participants are clearly aware of the consequences of their actions.”
The annual Corporate Knights ranking evaluates 332 of the largest Canadian companies on a set of 24 environmental, social and governance indicators to single out the Best 50 that Corporate Knights considers “the vanguard of corporate sustainability leadership in Canada.”
In addition, Bell announced that its science-based targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, confirming the company’s alignment with the most ambitious temperature goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
“We are proud to build on our environmental leadership by setting science-based targets, positioning us as a corporate leader in the transition to the low-carbon economy. We’re committed to building a sustainable future and contributing to a better world. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations, we are continuing to take action to help fight climate change and improve our energy performance,” said Mirko Bibic, President and CEO BCE Inc. and Bell Canada.
