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, indicating a lack of detailed emissions tracking. Furthermore, there are no established reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Despite the absence of specific emissions data, Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited is involved in initiatives related to renewable energy, as evidenced by their focus on solar technology and production efficiency. However, without concrete emissions figures or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess their overall climate impact or commitments comprehensively. In summary, while Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited is engaged in renewable energy initiatives, the lack of disclosed emissions data and reduction targets limits the ability to evaluate their carbon footprint and climate commitments effectively.
