Advancing Net Zero Through Sustainable 5G and Private 5G

Sustainable digital infrastructure is a critical enabler of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. 5G and Private 5G networks support Net Zero strategies by improving energy efficiency, enabling operational decarbonization, and strengthening emissions transparency across the value chain.

Scope 1 (Direct Emissions):

Private 5G enables real-time monitoring, automation, and predictive maintenance, reducing fuel usage, equipment inefficiencies, and unplanned outages. These capabilities help lower direct emissions from owned and controlled operations.

Scope 2 (Indirect Energy Emissions):

5G networks are designed to deliver higher data capacity with lower energy intensity compared to legacy technologies. Cloud-native, software-defined architectures optimize power consumption and support integration with renewable energy sources, reducing electricity-related emissions.

Scope 3 (Value Chain Emissions):

Private 5G supports remote operations, digital workflows, and connected ecosystems, reducing travel, logistics emissions, and supplier-related inefficiencies. Enhanced data visibility enables improved emissions tracking and supplier engagement across the value chain.

In parallel, sustainable 5G enables KPI-driven progress toward Net Zero, allowing organizations to move from ambition to measurable impact. Key performance indicators supported by 5G and Private 5G include reduced energy consumption per data unit, lower operational downtime, decreased electricity-related emissions, reduced business travel, and improved accuracy and frequency of emissions reporting.

By integrating sustainable 5G and Private 5G into their digital and operational strategies, organizations can strengthen ESG performance, support regulatory disclosures, improve resilience, and demonstrate measurable progress toward Net Zero commitments.
