How we are becoming a net-zero carbon company

As a digital company, we recognise the potential of connectivity and digitalisation in meeting the urgent call for climate action. This has sparked our aspiration and journey towards becoming a net-zero carbon company by no later than 2050, in line with the aspiration set for the mobile sector by GSMA.

Through collaboration and partnership, we are catalysing solutions for decarbonisation across our markets of operation. We have also identified our climate-related risks and opportunities in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), empowering a balanced approach to environmental protection and business growth.

Advancing To Zero

The Axiata Net-Zero Roadmap is the culmination of a decade-long journey in environmental management. From the exploration of low-impact materials in constructing our telco towers, our efforts now span the entire breadth of our business presence.
