Comcast Fully Allocates $1 Billion Green Bond to Sustainability Projects
  • $995 million allocated to green buildings, circular economy, clean transportation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.
  • Comcast reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by over 30% from 2019 to 2023.
  • Sky Studios Elstree, a key project, uses 100% renewable electricity, including 2.9 MW of solar capacity.

Comcast Corporation has fully allocated its $1 billion green bond, as outlined in its 2024 Green Bond Report, with $995 million in net proceeds directed toward projects that enhance sustainability. This allocation supports Comcast’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2035.

“We’re proud to have offered investors the opportunity to support greener operations at Comcast that ultimately benefit people and the planet,” the company stated in its report.

Comcast’s investments targeted five areas: green buildings, circular economy, clean transportation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy, all aligned with the company’s Green Financing Framework.

Major Projects Funded:

  • Sky Studios Elstree: The UK’s newest film and TV studio, completed in 2023, earned a mark of “Outstanding” in its sustainability report. It operates on 100% renewable electricity, with 25% powered by solar energy. The studio also boasts EV charging points, rainwater harvesting, and an all-electric vehicle fleet.
  • Clean Transportation: Comcast allocated funds to purchase electric vans and pickups for Xfinity technicians, as well as solar-powered golf carts for Universal Studios production crews.
  • Circular Economy: Through its National Recycling Program, Comcast refurbishes and recycles equipment, extending the lifecycle of devices and keeping waste out of landfills.

“Whether it’s through the design and construction of green buildings that integrate clean technologies and other sustainability features, or circularity projects that extend the life of devices and keep waste out of landfills, these investments will deliver tangible environmental benefits for years to come,” said Sara Cronenwett, Senior Vice President of Corporate Environmental Sustainability at Comcast.

Comcast’s sustainability achievements include reducing market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 30% from 2019 to year-end 2023.
