Protecting the environment for future generations
We launched our Citizen of the Planet (COTP) initiative in 2008. Since then, we’ve stayed focused on what matters. Educating, reducing our carbon footprint, and taking practical action to protect the planet we all depend on.
TP earns CDP A- Score for climate risk management
TP has been recognized with a CDP A- score, reflecting strong climate risk management and environmental transparency. This places TP among the top-performing companies globally assessed by CDP. The assessment underscores TP’s commitment to responsible operations, climate risk management, and long-term environmental stewardship.
Advocacy that leads to action
The Citizen of the Planet (COTP) program guides the way we operate, helping us reduce our environmental footprint across our workplaces and teams worldwide. From smarter buildings to everyday actions by our people, we focus on changes that make a real difference. Beyond our own operations, we work side by side with partners and local communities to support urgent environmental action where it matters most.
Delivering results
Over 525K trees planted worldwide
Our documentary, TP and One Tree Planted: Restoring life through reforestation, takes you on a journey through our reforestation efforts, including the restoration of the Leiria Pine Forest, a vital ecosystem woven into Portugal’s culture, history, and sustainability. Join us on this field trip as we showcase the real impact of collective action.
We use Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) goals to track and minimize our carbon footprint worldwide
Strengthening our commitment to the planet
Driving measurable climate action
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 Science Based Targets Initiative has validated that the science-based greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets submitted by TP are in line with a 1.5°C trajectory.
Committed to net-zero leadership
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. We are committed to: report greenhouse gas emissions regularly, implement decarbonization strategies, and neutralize remaining carbon emissions with quantifiable, socially beneficial offsets.
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.
Reduce energy consumption
By employing energy savings, standard procedures, environmental impact performance monitoring, and stakeholder partnerships.
Switch to greener energy
By increasing the percentage of renewable energy in total electricity consumption whenever possible.
Streamline IT infrastructure
By adopting measures to reduce energy consumption in data centers and buying STAR-rated and EPEAT-certified electrical and computer equipment.
Apply energy efficiency and supply criteria
By complying with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and favoring green buildings whenever possible.
Facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy
By enabling our clients to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with our data-driven solutions, including TP Cloud Campus.
Adhere to environmental standards
By applying our Global Premises Standard which complies with LEED standards and favors green buildings wherever possible.
Reduce waste
By continuing efforts to collect, sort, reuse, recycle, or dispose of waste to reduce waste overall.
