We’re moving towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions by no later than 2050.
As a leading regional player in connectivity and digital services, we are well-positioned to contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Through our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Business Ambition Pledge, our net-zero journey is aligned to limit global warming by 1.5°C.
We’ve created the Axiata Net-Zero Carbon Roadmap, which sets our strategic approach to reach net-zero inclusive of our interim target to reduce operational carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline as well as milestones. Our strategic approach will be rolled out across three key objectives:

ACCELERATE DECARBONISATION OF OUR NETWORK OPERATION
Our network operations make up the largest portion of our emissions. We will decarbonise by increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy consumption from self-generation or purchased energy.
Our milestones:
- Verify 2020 Scope 1 and 2 emissions baseline
- Set science-based targets for Scope 1 and 2
- Increase energy efficiency by 2030
- Set OpCo level CO2 reduction target by end 2022
- Increase purchase of renewable energy by 2030
ACCELERATE TRANSFORMATION OF OUR VALUE CHAIN
We will contribute to enabling positive climate impact across our value chain, including by assisting our suppliers to reduce their carbon emissions.
Our milestones:
- Define Scope 3 baseline and set reduction target by end 2023
DELIVER AN INCLUSIVE CLIMATE AGENDA
We will contribute to decarbonisation efforts across society, leveraging technology and digitalisation to execute carbon removal strategies while encouraging carbon avoidance.
Our milestones:
- Increase carbon removal activities by 2030
- Quantify the impact of positive climate action
