New ESG recognitions in ALE transformation path

Paris, France, 25 November 2024 - Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of secure networking and communication solutions enabling organizations and industries to accelerate their operational efficiencies and competitiveness, has had its targets for near-term and long-term validated by the corporate climate action organization Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). 

ALE has committed to set near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the SBTi. The near-term target is a commitment to reduce absolute scope 1,2 and 3* greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030. ALE has committed to reaching net-zero GHG across the value chain by 2050 including the organization’s operations and supply chains.  

ALE has already demonstrated its commitment to ESG by adopting eco-design initiatives, such as the approach for the 8328 DECT terminal, which led to a 37% weight reduction. Additionally, ALE Enterprise DeskPhones launched in Q4 2021 save up to 30% on electricity. ALE has also reduced its overall carbon footprint by switching to the Build to Stock (BTS) model, eliminating one transport stage in the logistics flow. ALE continues to be compliant with the latest requirements around energy consumption. ALE’s OmniSwitches comply with the Energy Star 80Plus requirements and the IEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) requirements to reduce energy consumption associated with Ethernet links. Additionally, the power supplies of OmniSwitches are designed to be over 95% energy efficient.

SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis. It develops standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions target in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by 2050 at latest.
