Telia’s overall score improved to 87 out of 100, a notable rise from the previous year’s score of 83, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.

EcoVadis employs a comprehensive evaluation system that examines 21 criteria across four key themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Telia’s enhanced performance is particularly attributed to its robust results in the environmental and ethics categories.
