Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited's reported carbon emissions

Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited, headquartered in Zimbabwe (ZW), has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data for recent years, including 2025, 2022, and 2020. The company has not reported any Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures, nor has it set any reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Despite the absence of detailed emissions data, Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited is actively engaged in sustainability initiatives, particularly in the renewable energy sector. The company has been involved in projects that enhance the efficiency of solar energy technologies, such as N-type TOPCon perovskite tandem solar cells and silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells, which are crucial for reducing the carbon footprint associated with energy production. As of now, there are no specific reduction targets or achievements reported by the company. The lack of disclosed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy.
