T-MOBILE COMPANY FACTS<br />
Energy Efficiency on<br />
our Network<br />
In select markets, T-Mobile removed<br />
HVAC equipment from existing<br />
telecom shelters at cell sites, and<br />
replaced them with a direct air<br />
cooling system by installing new<br />
cabinet doors designed with variable<br />
speed, high efficiency fans to<br />
optimize airflow. This investment<br />
resulted in decreased energy consumption<br />
at the sites and reduced<br />
energy costs by 30%.<br />
Setting Ambitious<br />
Emissions Targets<br />
We have set a number of goals to<br />
decrease our carbon footprint,<br />
including sourcing 100% of our<br />
electricity from renewable energy<br />
by 2021. Our goals are driven by<br />
our interest in reducing our dependence<br />
on fossil fuels, improving the<br />
cost and security of our fuel supply<br />
and reducing the harmful impacts<br />
of greenhouse gas emissions on the<br />
planet. With the RCP 2.6 scenario,<br />
T-Mobile has committed to reduce<br />
combined absolute scope 1 and<br />
scope 2 GHG emissions 95% by<br />
2025 from a 2016 base-year. Additionally,<br />
T-Mobile also commits<br />
to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions<br />
by 15% per customer by 2025 from<br />
a 2016 base-year.<br />
LED Lighting at Retail Stores<br />
ENERGY STAR certified LED<br />
Lighting was installed at approximately<br />
1,500 new corporate and<br />
dealer stores constructed in 2017.<br />
We also completed additional<br />
lighting retrofits across the<br />
T-Mobile commercial real estate<br />
portfolio. The upgrades were completed<br />
in T-Mobile Call Centers,<br />
Switch Sites, Regional Business<br />
Offices, and its corporate headquarters.<br />
We now require all new<br />
construction and upgrades to<br />
lighting across the company to<br />
be LED. Through these upgrades,<br />
in 2017, we saved over 5,742,000<br />
KWh of electricity while avoiding<br />
the release of nearly 3,000 metric<br />
tons of Carbon Dioxide.<br />
LEED Certification of<br />
Service Center<br />
Partnered with our landlord to<br />
achieve LEED Certification from<br />
the US Green Building Council<br />
at our Field Service Center in<br />
Bellevue, WA. The operational<br />
changes made to achieve the certification<br />
include implementing<br />
composting throughout the campus<br />
that significantly reduces<br />
waste to landfill.<br />
