Tele2 Named Sweden’s Most Sustainable Company for Second Year in a Row, Ranks 23rd globally

 The TIME ranking is based on a comprehensive four-step methodology, where over 5,000 of the world’s largest companies were evaluated. Each company was assigned a total sustainability score, with a maximum of 100 points. In 2025, Tele2 achieved 79.37 points, the highest score among Swedish companies, securing the 23rd position globally.

-          We are proud to be named Sweden’s most sustainable company for the second year in a row, and to be recognized among the global top 25. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of everyone at Tele2 to integrate sustainability across all aspects of our operations. We will continue to push for positive change, for our customers, our industry, and society at large, says Jean Marc Harion, President and CEO of Tele2.

Earlier in June, Tele2 was also included in Corporate Knights’ inaugural Europe’s 50 Most Sustainable Companies list, as the only telecom operator featured. This further highlights Tele2’s strong position as a sustainability leader in the industry.

The TIME and Statista ranking evaluates companies based on more than 20 key data points, grouped into three main categories:

Commitments & Ratings
Assessment of external ESG ratings from reputable institutions such as CDP, where Tele2 has been rated A since 2022, and participation in frameworks like the UN Global Compact and the Science Based Targets initiative.
