Indus Towers’ business empowers an inclusive India that enables equal opportunities
for all. Enabling communication for millions of people daily, we provide affordable,
high-quality, and reliable services for India’s growing network connectivity needs.

We recognize that our role in society is more vital than ever as connectivity is one of the defining cornerstones in meeting our economic priorities to realize the vision of a Digital India. Our strategic priority is to cater to the evolving network infrastructure needs in a sustainable manner. We believe that the need of the hour is to create an agile and future-ready business model that will simultaneously fuel economic growth, promote inclusive culture, strengthen communities, create resilient value chains, and preserve the environment.

As envisioned in our Mission Statement, we transform lives through Sustainable Digital Infrastructure and Services. As we continue onward on our quest for achieving this paradigm through sustainable measures that reduce our carbon footprint and lay the groundwork for a greener tomorrow, this transformational journey will be guided by our technological innovations and a holistic approach to minimize our impact on the environment.

As the leading passive telecom infrastructure provider, we acknowledge that sustainable business practices will be the key factor in bringing about a positive and tangible change. To galvanize this transformation, we embrace the concept of "Zero" as a positive force for change. Guided by this philosophy, we have launched a campaign, ‘Zero Goal Hai’, that outlines how the entire organization and its value chain will come together to achieve goals set across the three pillars of Environmental Stewardship, Socially Responsible, and Robust Governance - making the business sustainable

‘Zero Goal Hai’ (meaning - zero is the target) is a conscious word play to celebrate ‘zero’ as a matter of pride – zero emissions, zero harm, zero waste, zero bias, and zero tolerance to non-compliance, as we are moving forward on our sustainability journey. Our goal is to turn “Zero” from a non-entity to an industry imperative. We believe that by adopting a “Zero Goal” mindset, we can create an encompassing culture of nurturing sustainability, which translates into climate action, a socially responsible mindset that promotes equity for the community, and astute system of governance for enforcing the compliances we need to not only make our business the beneficiary, but also our stakeholders and the planet at large. We are committed to taking on various projects, initiatives, and programmes to drive real-world impact and increase awareness around ESG principles.

Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future!

OUR ESG COMMITMENTS

Environmental Stewardship

As we consolidate our efforts through initiatives such as deploying renewable energy, waste management and minimizing water usage, we are doing our bit in not only mitigating our collective impact on the environment, but also opening the doorway to a sustainable future with improved efficiency and cost optimization.

  1. Net-Zero by 2050
    To reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in line with climate science with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
    • The release of toxic gases, resulting in increased temperature levels and health hazards, poses a serious threat to the long-term survival of mankind. To combat climate change and mitigate the threat to future generations, we have joined the race to Zero emissions. We are developing a decarbonization roadmap. This will entail multiple interventions including optimization of diesel consumption and adoption of energy-efficient infrastructure and processes.
  2. Expand Renewable Energy portfolio
    To continuously make our business operations greener by exploring and expanding on alternate energy solutions.
    • We live in a world of limited resources and the situation of resource scarcity is quickly intensifying. Dependence on fossil fuels is a great risk for the environment and sustenance of a business. We are committed to expanding our solar footprint and leveraging technological advancements in energy solutions.
  3. Zero Waste
    To reduce/reuse/recycle 100% of waste, effective and efficient waste management practices can assist in establishing a new paradigm for efficiency, thus ensuring availability of resources for future generations. Our focus remains on resource efficiency, product longevity and restoration, zero landfill, and a circular economy.

Socially Responsible

At Indus we understand that sustainability is not only restricted to advancements in technology, but inextricably linked to the larger community we are a part of. We aim to nurture by investing in the development of not just our employees, but also underserved sections of society, to establish the equity required for healthy and competitive growth. We believe in going the extra mile and promoting diversity and inclusion through multiple initiatives that showcase our social impact, involving all our stakeholders for a socially responsible tomorrow.

  1. Diversity and Inclusion across the value chain
    We prioritize diversity and inclusion across our value chain, from our workforce to our suppliers.
    • We recognize and embrace the importance of a diverse workforce. A truly diverse workforce is likely to leverage differences in thoughts, perspective, knowledge, skill, experience, and cultural background that will help us retain our competitive advantage.
    • Demonstrating our commitment to being an equal opportunity employer, we aspire to reach 30% gender diversity in the coming years.
  2. Zero Harm
    As a responsible enterprise, we are committed to fostering a culture of safety and care. The nature of our business makes safety far more critical for us, given the significant field presence of our people. We remain focused on driving zero harm in our operations through providing adequate training, raising awareness, encouraging hazard reporting, using technology, and implementing innovative ideas.
  3. Positively Impact Communities
    • Our CSR vision aims at actively participating in transforming the lives of communities. Being an industry leader, we believe that this position brings great responsibility towards society. We along with our employees remain committed to strengthening and giving back to the communities and bringing positive social change through base-level interventions and volunteering. We aim to positively impact over 150 million lives by 2030.

Robust Governance

We firmly believe that effective governance practices constitute a strong foundation on which successful enterprises are built to grow sustainably. Our governance philosophy is based on integrity, transparency, accountability, and upholding the highest ethical standards. We have in place a robust governance structure, strong monitoring mechanism, well-defined Code of Conduct, effective risk management framework and sound policies and processes to ensure that we grow responsibly and retain our stakeholders’ trust.

  1. Compliance and Disclosures
    As the industry leader, we continue to uphold the highest standards of business conduct. We also aspire to demonstrate leadership in our compliances and disclosure practices.
  2. Sustainable Supply Chain
    To create a resilient supply chain, our partners are critical to our business continuity and enhanced efficiency. To create a resilient supply chain, we will collaborate with our partners on ensuring ethical and responsible sourcing of products and services thus enabling an inclusive and sustainable people practice.
