In 2024, Optimum Communications completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Optimum Communications has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Optimum Communications increased by 0.93%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Optimum Communications were 43,219 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, Optimum Communications's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 21.41%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Optimum Communications's Scope 1 emissions increased by 6.17%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 230,083 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 235,452 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2021, Optimum Communications's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Optimum Communications's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Optimum Communications's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Optimum Communications's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported 1,018,877 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Optimum Communications includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,018,877 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Optimum Communications's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 22.36%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 43,219 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 8,954 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 4.83 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 4.83 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 3.34, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications ranked 15 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Optimum Communications is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Optimum Communications reported a total carbon footprint of 1,297,548 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 18.31% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Optimum Communications's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 78.52% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 18.15%.a
