Telkom's Sustainability Vision: Innovating for Inclusive Growth and a Future-Ready South Africa

Sustainability is no longer simply a corporate mandate; it is an essential lens through which businesses must operate to thrive in the 21st century.

- By Mpho McNamee, Group Chief of Corporate Affairs at Telkom

For Telkom, embracing sustainability means embedding environmental responsibility, social empowerment, and sound governance into the heart of our business model. This is vital not only for our company but for the future prosperity of South Africa.

Facing Real Challenges with Purpose and Innovation

Globally, the telecommunications sector is navigating complex sustainability challenges such as rising energy demand, urgent climate imperatives, and social inequalities among them. At Telkom, we recognise that meeting these challenges requires pragmatic ambition. Our goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2040 is a crucial step forward, but the journey is continuous.
