Description:

The ICT industry accounts for 3% - 4% of global CO2 emissions, about twice that of civil aviation. The unprecedented demand for digital communications during the pandemic has forced telco infrastructures to consume more energy than ever, pushing up carbon emissions, and turning sustainability into a top strategic priority.

However a focus on sustainability creates revenue and growth opportunities as well as potential costs. The technology, media and telecom (TMT) sector has a historic opportunity to help other industries be more energy efficient.

During this webinar, we discuss:

What steps are TMT taking to to reduce their own emissions and how are they extending their current sustainability focus to work with customers and suppliers to further reduce scope 3 emissions?
What is the investor perspective and how do they evaluate ESG criteria when making investment decisions?
What new technologies are there being deployed and enabled by telcos that could have a material impact on B2B clients' emissions?
