Beyond our business model, which we believe is inherently stable, our approach to sustainability, “Better Connections, Better Opportunities”, underpins how we do business as we strive to act in an innovative, ethical, responsible, independent, and transparent way. Our four pillars - Education & Economic Growth, Environment & Climate Change, Our People & Communities, and Ethics & Governance - seek to provide a framework for our sustainability strategy and associated partnerships. We assess local requirements each year to identify projects and partnerships that both align with these pillars and target local community needs.
We review our Group sustainability strategy regularly, and our local teams assess regional community needs to help inform the sustainability programs in their respective countries. These are assessed by in-country management teams and relevant stakeholders as appropriate, ahead of Group-level review. The IHS Towers Executive Management Committee receives quarterly reports on these programs and initiatives, and the Board is also updated regularly.
We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, professionalism, and transparency. To enhance the transparency and accuracy of our sustainability disclosures, we publish our annual Sustainability Reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and map our sustainability initiatives to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We also provide regular updates to the Executive Management Committee on our sustainability KPIs.
