An exemplary social and environmental
track record is an essential factor in
supporting sustainable value creation.
As part of Orange’s commitment to
achieving carbon neutrality by 2040,
we are striving to transition our infrastructure
procurement policy towards a circular
economy model. Reusing or reconditioning
equipment enables Orange to combine
economic performance and sustainable
development by reducing CO
emissions
related to the manufacturing of new
equipment and by contributing to improved
operational eciency for the benefit of
our customers worldwide.
Circular economy enables our networks
to operate in a more ecient way. From
design to recovery and reuse of equipment,
it provides both economic and environmental
benefits. It allows CAPEX avoidance through
reuse, savings from the purchase of used
equipment and additional revenues from
sales, all improving the profitability of our
networks. Furthermore, circular economy
leads to several environmental benefits,
including CO
emissions savings, which helps
us towards our goal of net-zero emissions by
2040, including our entire value chain.

When looking at the industry that Telia
Company belongs to through a circular
economy lens, it is clear we are both part of
the problem and the solution. The connectivity
and digital solutions we provide are already
enabling societies to tackle many of today’s
environmental challenges and digitalisation
can speed up the transformation from a linear
to a circular economy. Simultaneously, we
need to forcefully address our own negative
environmental impact. Global e-waste flows
and greenhouse gas emissions are the most
important environmental aspects for our
industry to address the coming years.

Telecom operators and the ICT sector at
large play a key role in the move towards
digital technology and low-carbon economies.
As part of stc’s commitment towards carbon
neutrality by 2050, circularity should become
the backbone of asset management, as one
of the key principles of the basic circular
economy is to keep assets in use longer,
therefore reducing the extraction of new
raw materials needed and minimise e-waste
potential and the associated of CO
emissions.
