Environmental KPI tracker: tower companies 2H 2024
"Leading tower companies have made some progress in reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but environmental data reporting remains limited and inconsistent across the industry."
Analysys Mason’s Environmental KPI tracker: tower companies provides publicly available data on energy consumption, CO2 emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3), circular economy metrics (waste production and recycling rates) and net-zero target dates (across the whole value chain) for leading tower companies. Data was collected for the 5-year period from 2018 to 2023. This tracker will be updated bi-annually.
