Intro to the net-zero enablement case study directory

About the Telecom net-zero enablement case study directory

This telecoms net-zero enablement case study directory highlights a selection of services that telcos or technology companies are offering to their customers to enable their transition towards net-zero. As live services, these offer inspiration to telecom companies with an ambition to incorporate sustainability as a differentiator for their customers, either by enhancing existing solutions or bringing brand new services to market.

The directory supports telcos and their partners to:

  • Accelerate sustainability strategy through exploring a range of real world case studies that are driving solutions across different industries and for consumers.
  • Assess the value of different enablement services through our methodology for categorising them based on their level of customer impact.
  • Drive alignment within the organisation on the proposition and requirements of use cases.

We break out our case studies into three groups of sustainability-focused services:

  • Consumer-facing enablement services
  • Sustainability reporting dashboards 
  • Enterprise and IoT enablement services 
  • Excel file compiling all case studies with their key characteristics
