Telecom tower infrastructure provider Indus Towers has committed to net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, in line with climate science with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

“Our inherently inclusive business model fosters co-creation of value for all stakeholders. We strive for customer satisfaction through continuous innovation, guided by the principles of exemplary governance, community strengthening, and environmental accountability. With our commitment to decarbonise our business operations, we have joined the race to net zero by 2050,” said Prachur Sah, Managing Director & CEO, Indus Towers.

The tower company has set medium to long-term ESG commitments. Under the ‘environment’ pillar, over the long term, Indus said it is committed to lower its GHG emissions and reach net zero by 2050, improve resource efficiency through reducing, reusing, recycling 100% of its waste, and increasing the share of renewable energy.

“Indus will achieve this through multiple interventions including diesel optimisation, alternate green energy solutions across its business operations and adoption of energy-efficient infrastructure and processes,” the company said in a statement.

Indus said it remains committed to positively impact over 150 million lives in the medium to long term.
