The company has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor has it made any formal climate pledges. The emissions data indicates a trend of increasing emissions, with total emissions rising from approximately 362,067,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 395,609,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and then to 314,289,000 kg CO2e in 2023. This highlights the need for Helios Towers to implement effective strategies to manage and reduce its carbon footprint in alignment with industry standards and climate commitments. Overall, while Helios Towers has made strides in emissions disclosure, the absence of specific reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and contribute more effectively to global sustainability efforts.
