Our ESG Approach and Impact
Millicom’s purpose and business strategies are deeply intertwined. As our market leadership grows through the adoption of digital technologies, so does our ability to fuel even greater environmental, social, educational and economic opportunities.
Environmental, Social and Governance Framework
Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework articulates our renewed approach to improving lives, strengthening communities, reducing our environmental impact, managing climate risks and governing our business with integrity. Together, our ESG initiatives help us chart a path for sustainable growth and create long-term value for our stakeholders.
In 2021, we evolved how we communicate ESG to better reflect the relationships between our initiatives and our business strategies. Aligned with leading ESG methodologies, this new framework provides a more complete picture of the work we do, helps our stakeholders better understand our issue-specific approaches, and gives us a platform to announce a bolder set of goals and commitments.
The framework mirrors the results of a follow up materiality assessment we conducted in 2020 to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on our stakeholders' perspectives. The assessment revealed that many areas are of increasing importance to our stakeholders, including climate change, the digital divide and employee and contractor health and wellness.
