"Comcast's net zero target is to become carbon neutral by 2035. Net Zero Tracker
This goal involves reducing their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are the direct and indirect emissions they own and control across their global operations. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about their environmental policy is that they plan to get close to their carbon neutral goal by sourcing renewable energy and improving efficiency across their operations. Net Zero Tracker
Any remaining emissions they cannot eliminate directly will likely be addressed by purchasing carbon offsets. Net Zero Tracker
In addition, you can check out the net-zero …"

Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Comcast belongs to the sector Communication Services.

Offsets

Last update for Comcast by zerotracker.net: May 5, 2023
Planning to use external offset credits Yes
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals No
Conditions on use of offset credits
  • No conditions specified
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Not Specified

Additional notes: We expect that, over time, our attention to sourcing renewable energy and honing efficiency across our global operations will bring us close to our carbon neutral goal. We will likely need to address any remaining emissions we cannot eliminate directly by purchasing carbon offsets.
