sustainability
Building a better future for all.
Technology has the power to drive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) transformations.
Driving sustainable ESG transformation
The telecoms industry is striving to launch competitive, digital business models and customer experiences, is accelerating the transition to scalable, cloud-native practices across the value chain.
This represents a growing opportunity to drive up ESG standards and practices. Closed-loop, self-optimizing systems are accelerating reductions in energy consumption, while demand for new skills is leading many businesses to become more diverse and inclusive.
Service providers increasingly are using data to up their game in sustainability reporting and taking key steps to ensure that data is helping them achieve tangible outcomes. But to do so they must navigate complex benchmarks, frameworks, standards and targets.
