View from Deloitte: Why environmental policies are critical to Telcos and
recommended strategies; How the telecommunications industry can help
other industries reduce carbon emissions and therefore costs
08
FOREWORD: Just how much do telecoms companies contribute to
global emissions, and what can they do to stimulate reductions?
11
ALCATEL-LUCENT: Radical new network designs could be needed if
telcos are going to provide new data services and lower emissions
12
BT: BT has an ambitious project to supply its own electricity and is
aiming to provide a measure of the carbon footprint of services
13
CISCO: Legally binding carbon cuts are an opportunity for ICT
companies to help other industries reduce energy consumption
14
ERICSSON: One of the challenges facing telcos is convincing
governments of the need for significant change in infrastructure
15
HUAWEI: An EC code of conduct on energy consumption for broad-
band equipment needs greater buy-in from Europe’s operators
16
ORANGE: Network energy saving measures are key to lowering the
carbon footprint of operators, and that presents many challenges
17
TELENOR: Environmental measures can range from incremental
steps and consumer initiatives to swapping out complete networks
18
VODAFONE: Rapid growth in services and emissions in developing
markets mean operators will need reductions in other areas
19
ZTE: Could regulation and taxes on older network equipment play a
part in the move to more energy efficient infrastructure?
