Sustainability frameworks and decision-making for telecoms operators

The results of Analysys Mason’s survey of 31 telecoms operators worldwide reveals a significant variation in how operators set targets, track progress and allocate budgets and finance for sustainability.

Topics analysed 

• Decision-making for sustainability targets and initiatives: analysing how sustainability targets and initiatives are determined within operators.
• Budgets for sustainability: investigating whether operators have dedicated budgets for sustainability and the amount of capital allocated to fund sustainability initiatives.
• Sustainable finance instruments: examining the types of sustainable finance instruments that operators commonly use currently and those they plan to use in the future.
• ESG frameworks and standards: identifying which ESG frameworks and standards operators regularly report against and those they plan to report against in the next 3 years.
