Environment & Sustainability
The digital era has brought unparalleled convenience with a wide range of services at our fingertips. However, this requires a robust and ubiquitous communication infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity. As a vital economic activity, communication has a significant carbon footprint across its value chain, which is expected to rise with the transition from 4G to 5G and beyond, further impacting climate change.
iBUS being a digital infrastructure provider has pledged to become a sustainable business across its entire value chain to become a Green Digital Infrastructure company.
Commitment to iBUS to Sustainability
Sustainability is a top priority for iBUS, and the company is committed to becoming an environmentally friendly player in the digital infrastructure industry.
To achieve this, iBUS has set a target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2028, reducing emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Beyond carbon reduction, iBUS is also minimizing waste production, enhancing recycling efficiency, adopting sustainable materials, and embracing green mobility across its entire value chain to establish itself as a Green Digital Infrastructure company.
To drive these efforts, iBUS has implemented an ESG management system to scientifically measure, monitor, and mitigate sustainability challenges within business operations. This system defines the roles of board members, establishes a governance structure to manage ESG issues, and aligns business KPIs with key sustainability pillars.
These pillars will serve as the foundation for iBUS’ journey toward a truly sustainable, Green Digital Infrastructure.
