Every day, millions of people access the TIM Group’s websites to find information, work, purchase services, or learn more about technology-related topics. This involves energy consumption by servers and hosting infrastructures, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions.
To reduce our impact, we offset part of these emissions through carbon credits generated by certified projects, as a complementary measure to direct emissions reduction actions that are defined, measured, and monitored over time, as reported in the TIM Group’s 2025 Sustainability Report, available on our corporate website.
Specifically, to offset the impact of 505 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions generated in 2025, we renewed our support for the The Envira Amazonia REDD+ project in Brazil. This initiative contributes to the protection of the Amazon rainforest, a crucial ecosystem for global CO₂ absorption, through certified and verifiable actions.
The Envira Amazonia REDD+ Project
REDD stands for Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation.
The project includes direct environmental protection activities, such as monitoring forest areas at risk, promoting sustainable land management, and conserving habitats for highly vulnerable species. It also delivers initiatives that benefit local communities, including the construction and operation of a medical and dental clinic, the installation of community sanitation facilities, and the distribution of kits to help prevent water-related and insect-borne diseases.
The Envira Amazonia REDD+ project is certified under the VCS Verra Standard, one of the leading international protocols for validating emission reduction projects. In addition, it has achieved the CCBS Triple Gold Level Distinction, a recognition awarded to projects that deliver significant benefits in terms of climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and support for local communities.
How Emissions Offsetting Works
The emissions associated with the TIM Group’s websites are calculated using the CO₂web® methodology, developed by Rete Clima and verified by the certification body ICMQ. The methodology takes into account the energy consumption of servers and the services required to operate web pages.
The quantified emissions are offset through the retirement of carbon credits generated by the The Envira Amazonia REDD+ project and registered in official systems that can be independently verified by third parties. Retirement means permanently removing these credits from the market, ensuring that they cannot be reused or sold to others.
A Vision That Brings Together Digital Innovation and the Environment
This initiative is part of the structured pathway we have defined to reduce the environmental impact of our operations. In line with our decarbonisation strategy, website emissions offsetting is a complementary measure that follows and is added to our priority actions aimed at directly reducing operational emissions.
Key actions include improving the energy efficiency of infrastructure, including Data Centres, and sourcing certified renewable electricity, which accounted for 100% of consumption in 2025 under the market-based method.
Additional documented actions include the production of renewable energy for self-consumption, such as more than 348 MWh generated at the Milan West and Turin West Data Centres, and ongoing measures to improve the energy efficiency of digital infrastructure. These include, for example, the optimisation of cooling systems, including through free cooling solutions, server virtualisation and consolidation, the adoption of more energy-efficient network equipment, and continuous performance monitoring through specific indicators such as PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
All the information presented is based on reported data and indicators supported by verifiable documentary evidence.
Project after project, we continue to improve our environmental performance, without attributing a neutral or positive environmental impact to these initiatives.
