Summary/Abstract: Amid escalating environmental pressures and rapid digital transformation, the telecommunication sector has emerged as a pivotal driver of the transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon economy. This report examines the role of telecommunications not merely as a means of connecting people and markets, but as a catalyst for energy efficiency, technological innovation and environmentally sustainable solutions. The study assesses the contribution of telecom operators to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (particularly SDG 9 and SDG 13), while also addressing challenges related to increasing energy consumption and electronic waste generation. Drawing on recent reports from the ITU, GSMA, and leading industry players as Vodafone, Orange and A1, the report identifies best practices and strategic recommendations for the integration of ESG principles within the sector. The finding underscore the necessity of a balanced approach between technological advancement and environmental stewardship, as well as coordinated policies across government, business and society to achieve „green connectivity”
