Few telecoms tower companies report in detail on their energy use and emissions. Some players are striving to improve their reporting, but most need to do more.
This report assesses towercos' environmental progress and initiatives by:
- type of business model (steel and grass or augmented)
- type of environmental KPI
- total energy use
- total fuel and electricity breakdown
- energy intensity per site
- Scope 1 emissions
- Scope 2 emissions: market-based and location-based
- Scope 3 emissions
- net-zero targets.
This report is based on our Environmental KPI tracker: tower companies, which covers the largest tower companies by tower count.
