Climate-friendly products and services.
One of the main challenges we face is to launch immediate measures aimed at reducing harmful greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). As such, we refocused our CR activities in 2008. Our target is to play a pioneering role on the way to a low carbon society. The environmentally-friendly design and use of our network infrastructure is an important step in this direction. In addition, we are one of the largest ICT companies in the world to invest in digital technologies. After all, we believe ICT can make a major contribution towards conserving energy and CO2 emissions, whether in commercial and industrial processes or with private consumers. These aims were confirmed by the "Smart 2020" study by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) published in June 2008, which reported that the deployment of innovative ICT solutions can save 7.8 gigatons of CO2 by the year 2020. Significant savings potential through ICT. Across the globe, Deutsche Telekom offers its customers a wide range of solutions that enables them to save valuable resources and put sustainability into practice. T-Systems in particular has been a pioneer in this field. For years, Deutsche Telekoms business unit has been conducting research, developing and using innovative solutions to replace processes that are costly in terms of energy and materials, thereby tapping into substantial savings potential. T-Systems' telematics solutions, for example, help to reduce traffic jams by up to 20 percent and significantly decrease harmful vehicle emissions. The systems analyze the current traffic situation and calculate important factors for vehicle operation, including driving time and distance, fuel consumption, and even vehicle weight and accelerator position. All this information is passed on to the traffic management center, where it can be used to optimize carrying capacity and route planning. It can also give drivers tips for optimizing their driving habits. The Managed Office Output service from T-Systems enables customers to consolidate end devices such as faxes, printers, scanners, and photocopiers and use them more efficiently. Thanks to this service, each individual piece of equipment can cater to the needs of up to five times as many workplaces. Companies using this application are thus in a position to eliminate up to 60 percent of their hardware. And they can achieve further savings in energy and paper consumption with the use of ICT.

Enhancing savings potentials through modeling. The Green Dynamics simulation model helps reveal our customers' detailed energy savings potential from deploying ICT. The model was developed by T-Systems Austria in collaboration with the St. Plten University of Applied Sciences and lets users calculate the effects of implementing various technological measures, such as: Virtualization Pooling Changing PUE (power usage effectiveness) values, and so on The Green Dynamics simulation lets users assess the potential for sinking energy consumption and CO2 emissions. They can run through different scenarios with parameters such as the number of servers, current electricity prices, and the required memory capacity, giving them important feedback for planning their ITC capacities. The simulation model can point out a number of options for helping conserve the environment. Green Dynamics won the Green IT Award from International Data Corporation (IDC) Europe in 2008 and the Environment Prize of the City of Vienna in 2009. Award-winning simulation model from T-Systems. On November 26, 2008, IDC and the trade magazine Monitor, held the first Green IT Award in Austria. Companies were invited to submit projects that had enabled successful implementation of a green IT initiative within their own company or for a customer. An open panel of experts evaluated the entries and was unanimous in their choice of the Green Dynamics model, designed and developed by T-Systems and St. Plten University of Applied Sciences, as the clear winner of the Green IT Award. The Green Dynamics model uses innovative ways of illustrating the key role that the ICT sector can, and already does, play in the search for a solution to global environmental problems, states awards jury member Kathrin Hebel of WWF Austria. The Living Planet Report by WWF International views the rise in demand for energy as the greatest challenge faced worldwide in the next few decades. Energy production through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas accounts for 45 percent of todays ecological footprint worldwide. As well as spreading the use of renewable energies, the WWF Climate Solutions Model considers an increase in energy efficiency as the top priority on the necessary path to sustainability. Not many other sectors are integrating more technical expertise and innovative thinking than the ICT sector. Simulation models such as Green Dynamics open up a new dimension en route to sustainable reduction of CO2 in the world of business, says Ms. Hebel. To make energy consumption within an operating system transparent and visible is a vital step in order to adapt the ICT infrastructure such that maximum energy efficiency can be achieved. Only by adopting a responsible and solution-oriented approach to the global challenge posed by increased energy demands will we succeed in reducing our ecological footprint to the extent required to make our planet sustainable and avoid living beyond the means of our planet!

Virtual meetings real CO2 reduction. Digital teleconferences such as phone, data, and videoconferences help facilitate communication across countries and continents. They help save time, money, and CO2 emissions, offering numerous benefits compared to conventional business travel. Phone conferences are already part of everyday business. When data conferencing technology is added, for example, presentations can be made and edited. Videoconferencing offers the advantage of letting the participants see one another face to face. According to GeSI's "Smart 2020" study, videoconferencing alone could prevent 30 percent of all business trips worldwide, saving 80 million tones of CO2. As a pioneer on the way to a low carbon society, Deutsche Telekom not only offers these services to our customers; we also take advantage of every opportunity to replace business travel with conferencing technology within our own Group: The nearly 40,000 videoconferences held at T-Mobile to date have saved over 7,000 tons of CO2 emissions. This roughly equals the emissions of driving 25 million miles in an average family sedan. T-Systems wants to cut its business travel as well, and began operating a total of eight videoconferencing centers in six major German cities in May 2009. Employees at up to four different sites can meet at the same virtual table at the same time. In addition to helping the environment, this approach will help reduce overall travel costs by some 10 percent therefore and achieve break-even by 2011.
Digital conferences help to save time, costs and CO2.
Energy-efficient telephones at home and on the move. Energy-efficient solutions are also available to our customers in fixed and mobile telephony. Since the last quarter of 2007, all Sinus terminal equipment sold by our Broadband/Fixed Network business area in Germany have a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The SMPS accounts for a 30 to 60 percent power saving compared with conventional transformer power supply units.
Switched-mode power supply.
Product group Fixed-network telephones Router and WLAN router Media receiver PABXs Availability of switched-mode power suppl All new Sinus devices are equipped with switched-mode power supply. (series 01 e.g. 301, 501, A 201.). All new routers are delivered with switched-mode power supply (e.g. speedport W 701, 721, 920, 303, 503.). T-Home media receivers are delivered with an integrated switched-mode power supply (Media Receiver 300, 301.). In the case of PABX 401 (energy efficient), which was newly included in the portfolio, energy efficiency has been improved with a new circuit design. The transformer power supply is optimally designed and achieves optimum efficiency This is a quasi standard for set-top boxes. The PABXs offered have been part of the portfolio for quite a long time now and are only delivered with transformer power supply (Eumex 800 (V). It is not yet possible to equip them with a switched-mode power supply, because the circuit design has to be adjusted first. The demand for PABXs is declining, because the functions are offered as part of integrated solutions in Sinus devices, routers and WLAN routers. Restrictions In some case extension options are offered for previous Sinus series, which are not equipped with a switched-mode power supply (e.g. Sinus 500 System - Sinus for the Speedport Router W 920V).

The new DECT phones in Sinus series 103, 302, and 502 will also save energy. When Eco mode is activated on the base stations, they are deactivated whenever the connection is idle. This function works irrespective of how many mobile devices are registered at a given time and whether these devices are being recharged or not. T-Mobile USA, our American subsidiary, began offering the first cellular phone made completely from recycled plastic bottles worldwide: the Motorola Moto W233 Renew. The plastic shell of this cell phone model is made completely from recycled plastic drink bottles. This not only lowers harmful carbon dioxide emissions but also reduces energy needs by 20 percent compared with standard production processes. Reducing paper consumption with Paper, Pen & Phone. The innovation Paper, Pen & Phone helps to reduce paper consumption and the corresponding impact on the environment. This special pen developed by T-Systems captures all characteristics of a signature through its integrated camera, enabling the digital recording and processing of hand-signed documents. This approach reduces paper consumption by up to 50 percent compared to standard filing procedures. Costs can be reduced by up to 70 percent. We are utilizing this savings potential in our own Group: we have been using Paper, Pen & Phone at some 800 Telekom Shops in Germany since 2009. Sustainability along the entire value chain. To continue progressing towards a low carbon society, we had to find out the main causes of CO2 emissions and learn how we can reduce them most efficiently. To this end, we calculated the CO2 footprint of our complete T-Home Call & Surf Comfort package along the entire value chain in January 2009. Our calculations were supported by Freiburg's ko-Institut, an ecology researcher. CO2 footprint for Call & Surf Comfort, including network and router operation. The CO2 footprint of the Call & Surf Comfort full-service package was calculated in the T-Home network infrastructure and operation of the W 701V Speedport router over a period of 12 months. 46.56 kg CO2 was emitted through operation of the ICT network, 1.59 kg CO2 for the trip to the store to buy the package, and 9.21/41.47 kg CO2 for the production and operation of the router (respectively) for a total of 98.83 kg CO2. This figure does not include raw materials production, distribution, or disposal, as they are negligible for the service. Nonetheless, they are to be considered in the next phase of the pilot project. Overall, the project helped us gain valuable experience regarding the requirements of calculating the CO2 footprint of products and services along the value chain.
