Climate and energy
Network and data centre energy is the group’s largest environmental exposure. Site design favours solar and hybrid power, and consumption is measured per site rather than estimated per fleet.
Sustainability and impact
What the group is accountable for beyond its accounts
Infrastructure lasts decades. The commitments below are written on that timescale, and reported against on it.
Our pillars
Each pillar carries commitments the group reports against annually.
Digital inclusion
Coverage that stops at the profitable perimeter leaves the majority out. The group treats the last kilometre as an engineering brief, not a subsidy question.
Skills and local employment
Engineering capability is built in the countries where the group operates. Roles are filled locally, and training is part of every deployment contract.
Communities and land
Sites are negotiated with the communities that host them, and access obligations survive changes of contractor.
Commitments
Each commitment below is measurable and dated. Figures are published once independently verified — the group publishes the commitment before it can prove the result, and the result when it can.
Measure and publish energy consumption per site, not per fleet average.
Design every new site for hybrid or solar primary power.
Extend coverage to communities outside the commercially viable perimeter each year.
Fill engineering roles locally, and publish the proportion.
Include a training obligation in every deployment contract.
Report annually against every commitment on this page, including the ones missed.
Sustainability report
The group publishes one annual report covering every commitment on this page. The first edition is in preparation; it will be published in full rather than in summary.
Accessibility
This site is built to WCAG 2.2 level AA. Contrast ratios are measured, not estimated; motion respects the visitor’s system preference; and every page is operable by keyboard alone. Accessibility defects can be reported to the group and are treated as defects, not requests.
Governance and compliance
How the group is directed and controlled
A holding operating critical infrastructure for states and regulated institutions is judged first on its controls.
