Telkom University Achieves Zero Net Emissions Through Comprehensive Carbon Footprint Assessment

Telkom University has taken a significant step toward environmental sustainability by conducting an annual carbon footprint assessment across the entire campus. This initiative reflects the university’s commitment to supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: Climate Action, particularly through the Low-carbon energy tracking.

The assessment measures both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, covering direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions generated from campus operations, such as fuel consumption, electricity use, and other institutional activities. Telkom University recorded a total carbon emission of 4,509.55 metric tons. However, this figure is balanced by the university’s Carbon Stock measurement, which reached 9,958, demonstrating that Telkom University has successfully achieved zero net emissions.

This accomplishment highlights Telkom University’s dedication to promoting a low-carbon campus and integrating environmental awareness into its management and operations. Through careful monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and the use of sustainable practices, the university continues to reduce its carbon impact while encouraging students and staff to adopt eco-friendly behaviors.

By achieving zero net emissions, Telkom University not only sets a benchmark for other higher education institutions but also shows its proactive role in combating climate change. The university plans to maintain this initiative through continuous assessment, renewable energy implementation, and sustainable development research, reinforcing its position as a green and responsible educational institution.
