Sustainability for Telco Markets

Sustainability For Telco Markets Coverage Areas

This service investigates the convergence of collaboration and technology innovation for reducing carbon emissions and waste across an industry that is critical to the productivity of the entire global economy. Not only is the telco sector walking the walk in its own operations switching to renewable electricity and investing in energy-efficient networks, but these networks are also helping global efforts to reach net zero. Understanding this unique role in society, the service will also explore the “enabling effect” of the sector for reducing carbon emissions by 10X to 15X in other industries and cities, including new revenue opportunities from decarbonization. Key focus areas will cover enterprise-level sustainability initiatives across the telco ecosystem in the areas of renewable energy, network upgrades, energy efficiency, waste reduction and circularity, green buildings and vehicles, and reporting and governance.
