Saving the environment for future generations
TP launched our Citizen of the Planet (or COTP) initiative in 2008, long before others joined the fight to save precious environmental resources and combat climate change. We’re just as committed today to education, carbon emission reduction and other actions to protect our planet.
Frost & Sullivan Institute
Enlighted Growth Leadership award 2024
TP has been honored with Frost & Sullivan Institute Enlighted Growth Leadership award for the fourth consecutive year in 2024, showcasing its dedication to sustainability, growth, and innovation. The institute recognizes companies that show a strong commitment to adopting emerging technologies and practices, creating opportunities for all, and maintaining consistent growth while promoting sustainable development.
Making advocacy and action core values
The COTP program is our blueprint for environmentally friendly and responsible business management. Strict measures for our buildings and staff reduce our impact globally, but that’s not all. Many initiatives back our commitment to the planet. And we work closely with our partners and communities to answer the urgent call for environmental action.
Delivering results
Our carbon reduction targets
We use Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) goals to track and minimize our carbon footprint worldwide
30% renewable energy by 2026, reaching the target 3 years early (the current level is 35%).
49% reduction in direct and indirect carbon emissions from 2019 to 2026.
38% reduction in carbon emissions between 2019 and 2026, from employee commutes and goods and services purchased.
Strengthening our commitment to the planet
Science-based targets
We stepped up our own climate objectives by committing to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This includes a greenhouse gas emissions target in accordance with the Paris Agreement signed by 196 parties at the UN Climate Change Conference in 2015.
The Climate Pledge
TP was one of the first 100 signatories to join the @ClimatePledge — a drive to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 — a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement’s 2050 goal, by commiting to: report greenhouse gas emissions regularly; implement decarbonization strategies; and neutralize remaining carbon emissions with quantifiable, socially beneficial offsets.
Support for clients’ sustainability goals
We use digital technologies, including our Cloud Campus model, to help clients achieve their environmental sustainability goals. On average, a TP employee working from home generates 55% less GHG emissions per year compared to an on-site employee.
Employee awareness: World Cleanup Day
TP also encourages sustainable practices among its employees and suppliers to reduce the global carbon footprint. The support and enthusiasm of our people are essential to reach these environmental goals. Each year, TP employees participate into various environmental campaigns and awareness activities around the world such as the World Cleanup Day movement by cleaning up the waste on beaches, rivers, and streets in our communities.
Deploying key strategies to reduce climate risks
As we focus on these key strategies globally, we comply with local environmental laws and regulations and track progress with a management system meeting ISO Standard 14001.
