Our carbon neutral initiative at MWC

At ST, we are committed to mitigating our environmental impact through various initiatives, such as selecting suppliers with compatible sustainability approaches and encouraging sustainable travel options for our employees.
 

This year, we are taking a step further to make our participation in Mobile World Congress Barcelona fully carbon compensated. In collaboration with the certified organization Ecoevents, we have completely offset our carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce or capture an equivalent amount of carbon to that generated by our participation in the event.

A three-step metholodogy

#1 - Data collection

#1 - Data collection

ST evaluates, collects, and consolidates the emissions related to the event in the following areas, as pre-defined in the Ecoevents methodology:

  • Event location
  • Food and beverages consumed by event participants, as well as overnight stays
  • Mobility used for setting up the venue
  • Energy and heating used at the event, and waste generated
  • Materials used for the event
  • Other activities impacting the carbon footprint

Calculating the carbon footprint, expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent, is critical to assess our environmental impact and to identify opportunities to reduce it.
 

The calculations established by Ecoevents are based on the sources of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, combined with several event-specific variables, such as the number of participants.

The tons of CO2 equivalent are compensated through the purchase of carbon credits.
 

ST participated in reforestation initiatives, which allowed us to fully offset our carbon emissions linked to our participation in Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, ensuring that our presence at the event is environmentally responsible and sustainable.

ST's commitment to carbon neutrality

We aim to be carbon neutral on scope 1 & 2 and partially scope 3 by 2027.

Our roadmap includes the reduction of our direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the sourcing of 100% renewable energy.
