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:
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:
We will contribute to enabling positive climate impact across our value chain, including by assisting our suppliers to reduce their carbon emissions.
Our milestones:
We will contribute to decarbonisation efforts across society, leveraging technology and digitalisation to execute carbon removal strategies while encouraging carbon avoidance.
Our milestones:
We ensure that the way we operate integrates Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) elements, anchored on our vision to become The Next Generation Digital Champion by 2024.

Our material matters are determined through a bi-yearly process of materiality assessment, detailed below:
We review and update our material matters in response to changes in our business landscape, risk environment, internal policies, KPIs, emerging local and global sustainability trends, regulatory developments and stakeholder opinions. Our review also incorporates peer benchmarking.
We conducted a structured stakeholder prioritisation exercise by leveraging insights from our dialogue with various stakeholders on our material matters. This allows us to identify the influence and dependence of key stakeholders on the Group. We then engage with the prioritised stakeholders to obtain their feedback on material matters.
Upon identification of our material matters, we conducted workshops within the Group to further prioritise materiality matters from the business perspective.
