SBTi validates Omelcom’s targets: A major milestone in our decarbonisation journey
Omelcom has reached a new milestone in its commitment to the climate transition. Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the international benchmark for science-based climate pathways.
For Omelcom, this validation reflects our determination to embed sustainable development within a trajectory that is compatible with a low-carbon future. It forms part of an ambitious Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy that places environmental challenges at the heart of our industrial activities and decision-making processes.
This validation is an important recognition of the robustness of our climate strategy and confirms that our commitments are aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
A science-cased and internationally recognised approach
The Science Based Targets initiative supports companies in defining emissions reduction targets that are consistent with the latest climate science. Its assessment process is based on rigorous methodologies and demanding criteria that ensure the credibility of the commitments made.
Ambitious Climate Targets for 2031 and 2040*
As part of this initiative, Omelcom commits to:
- Reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by 2031 compared with the 2021 baseline year (the year used for our first carbon footprint assessment covering all three scopes, completed in 2022);
- Measuring, monitoring and reducing Scope 3 emissions, which represent a significant proportion of our overall carbon footprint;
- Achieving carbon neutrality by 2040;
- Reducing total emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) by 90% by 2040 compared with the 2021 baseline year.

These targets reflect our commitment to take meaningful action across our entire value chain and to engage our stakeholders in the climate transition over the long term.
A decarbonisation plan built around five key levers
To achieve these objectives, Omelcom has been implementing a decarbonisation plan since 2022 based on five complementary areas of action covering all its activities.
- Eco-design products to reduce environmental impact and increase network durability
Eco-design is a key pillar of our strategy. It aims to integrate environmental considerations from the earliest design stages to reduce the impact of our products throughout their entire life cycle: raw material selection, manufacturing, transport, installation, use and end-of-life management.
This approach also strengthens the durability and performance of the networks and infrastructure supported by our solutions. Our products are not only environmentally responsible, but also robust and easy to deploy, helping to simplify installation operations, avoid post-deployment interventions and consequently reduce the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
- Optimising logistics and transport
Transport represents a significant source of emissions. We are therefore actively working to optimise both inbound and outbound freight through several initiatives:
- Selecting the lowest-emission modes of transport;
- Improving load utilisation rates;
- Optimising logistics and reducing transport distances;
- Working closely with customers to anticipate their needs and minimise urgent shipments with a high carbon impact.
This approach enables us to reduce our environmental footprint while improving the efficiency of our supply chain.
- Developing low-carbon procurement and strengthening supplier collaboration
Reducing Scope 3 emissions requires collective action across our entire ecosystem. Omelcom has incorporated environmental criteria into its Procurement Policy and encourages partners to measure their greenhouse gas emissions and engage in the decarbonisation of their own activities.
We promote the development of more sustainable solutions, greater transparency regarding product-related emissions and the implementation of joint actions to reduce the environmental impact of our supply chain.
- Strengthening energy efficiency at our site
Managing our energy consumption is another key pillar of our climate roadmap.
We raise awareness among all employees of everyday environmentally responsible practices while expanding access to renewable energy sources. As part of the expansion of our facilities, a photovoltaic solar panel installation project is planned by the end of 2026 to increase the proportion of renewable energy used at our site.
- Promoting sustainable mobility
Business travel also represents an important area for action. We are implementing measures to optimise travel and prioritise the most environmentally friendly transport options wherever possible.
One of our major commitments is to fully electrify our company vehicle fleet by 2031. This initiative is supported by ongoing employee awareness programmes aimed at encouraging more sustainable and responsible commuting practices.
A collective ambition to accelerate the transition
The validation of our targets by the SBTi is not an end point, but a significant milestone in a process of continuous improvement. It reinforces both our responsibility and our determination to transform our practices in a lasting way.
By acting across our entire value chain, we aim to make a contribution to the fight against climate change while supporting our customers, industrial, financial and institutional partners in their own transition journeys.
Because climate challenges require collective action, Omelcom will continue its efforts with transparency, accountability and high standards, working alongside all stakeholders to build a more sustainable future.
