Advancing Digital Societies
Through our business activities, we aim to deliver consistent and sustainable returns for our shareholders and contribute to national and regional economies through the jobs we provide, taxes we pay and investments we make.
In order to maximise the long-term value that we generate, we continually focus on improving our operational performance, driving organisational excellence and transforming our OpCos. In this, we are guided by our Axiata 5.0 Vision and our Collective Brain and verticalisation initiatives, which enable us to deliver improved performance and quality at greater cost and resource efficiency.
Looking ahead, we will continue to harness the synergies present in our business for a brighter future in moving from a Telco to a TechCo. In addition, we will continue to drive performance across Axiata’s vast footprint in ASEAN and South Asia to strengthen our balance sheet and meet market expectations.
Driven by proactive investments in emerging technologies and strategic acquisitions, allied with our continued focus on cost excellence, we delivered a resurgent financial performance in 2022. Read our Integrated Annual Report 2022 to learn more.
