50 shades of green: using data to drive sustainability

Change is coming to corporate sustainability reporting – not only amid heightened concerns within the telecoms industry about energy costs, but also in the face of the UN’s latest warning that “the world must cut emissions by 45 percent to avoid global catastrophe”.

Investors are among the stakeholders that can benefit from clearer and more consistent sustainability data, and it can be in communications service providers’ (CSPs’) financial interest to provide more accountability.

This e-book examines:

• Why it is becoming increasingly important for telcos to capture, analyze and make use of data related to energy use and carbon emissions
• How they can use this to inform both near-term business choices and longer-term sustainability strategies
• Examples of actions CSPs are already taking, and the challenges of extracting meaningful data and using it to make business decisions
• The steps telcos can take to generate a deep understanding of energy and sustainability data across their businesses and use it to achieve business outcomes, including cost savings.
