A group of stakeholders in Nigeria’s telecom and technology sectors have introduced a proposed National Telecom Sustainability Index. The initiative aims to measure the industry's environmental, social and governance performance and serve as a benchmark for evaluating the sustainability of telecom operators. The proposal was presented during the Telecoms and Technology Sustainability Working Group's Stakeholder Strategy Breakfast in Abuja.
The working group discussed a draft sustainability framework, which covers five key pillars: Environment and Energy, Digital Inclusion and Affordability, Digital Integrity, Infrastructure Resilience and Governance, and Supply Chain and Local Value Creation. The proposed index could potentially bolster investor confidence by providing measurable environmental, social and governance performance metrics.
Nigeria's telecommunications sector is experiencing growth in digital infrastructure and connectivity, making the proposed index increasingly relevant.
