(1) KPIs reported on an annual basis. Carbon footprint KPIs are compared to the base year FY20 verified by an external certified entity.
(2) Electricity target (Scope 2) refer to the energy directly managed by Cellnex. Data calculated according to SBT and GHG Protocol methodology applied to the financial perimeter.
(3) By 2035 Cellnex will offset the residual emissions that could not be reduced with the aim of being carbon neutral by 2035 and net-zero by 2050.

Next steps for the upcoming years

As early adopters of the TNFD, work on producing a comprehensive TNFD report, including financial impacts
Update the Climate Change Adaptation Plan
Conduct an initial biodiversity footprint assessment
Continue collaborating with the supply chain on the calculation of the carbon footprint to enhance data transparency and quality
Promote circular economy by implementing the TIS ecodesign measures identified and prioritised in 2023, and explore new eco-strategies for Datacenters
Craft a detailed roadmap to achieve Cellnex's net-zero objective
