Green Future Best Practice Awards

Technological innovation is one key element to solve the climate crisis. With the Green Future Best Practice Awards, Deutsche Telekom recognizes and promotes best practices from partner companies that are exemplary in leading the way to a climate-friendly, circular industry and support critical areas for reaching Deutsche Telekom’s strategic environmental targets. The awarding ceremony is part of the yearly Campus Fair in Bonn. An event to showcase and discuss trends and developments in the realm of ICT technology and innovation.

Every year, Deutsche Telekom invites promising partner companies to apply for the Green Future Best Practice Awards. Applications are evaluated carefully by an internal jury, consisting of DTAG Executives. The winners are awarded, during the annual Campus Fair Bonn, taking place on July 3rd in 2025.

By designing technology with a green perspective right from the start, emissions from production, use-phase and end-of-life-management for products and solutions can be mitigated. These are important levers in reducing the so-called Scope-3 emissions of Deutsche Telekom. The company has committed to reduce overall emissions (Scope 1,2 &3) by 55% until 2030 and reach net-zero emissions in 2040. While Deutsche Telekom has already made significant progress in reducing the Scope-1 and Scope-2 emissions from its direct operations, Scope-3 emissions from the value chain remain a challenge only to be solved in cooperation with suppliers and partners.

The Green Future Best Practice Award is presented in the categories:

Carbon Reduction Achievement
- DT Energy Efficiciency
- Supply Chain Energy Efficiency
Circularity
Sustainable Innovation

The Green Future Best Practice Awards are part of Deutsche Telekom's efforts to reduce Scope 3 emissions, with sustainability criteria integrated into its purchasing processes. By prioritizing products with a lower environmental footprint, the company enhances resource conservation and energy efficiency. This approach drives Scope 3 emission reductions through Supply Chain Energy Efficiency while fostering innovation for a net-zero and circular economy. The awards recognize achievements in Environmental Carbon Reduction, Circularity, and Sustainable Innovation, accelerating progress towards a sustainable future.
