Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a roadmap for how we can collectively work to overcome the global challenges related to economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Eltel supports all the SDGs, but as a sustainability leader in the infranet industry, we believe we can make the greatest contribution to seven of the goals under the broad themes of “responsible employer”, “sustainable communities” and “climate and the environment”.

SDG 5

SDG8

Responsible employer

Eltel provides fair and decent work for its own employees and the employees of its supply chain partners, promotes health and safety, and supports workplace diversity and gender equality.

SDG9

Sustainable communities

Eltel constructs and maintains infranets that are increasingly essential for the needs of businesses and individuals.

SDG7

SDG12

SDG13

Climate and the environment

The infranet solutions Eltel provides enable the transition to a robust, resilient and carbon-neutral society. Eltel also works actively to reduce the climate impact of its own operations and aligns its business with circular economy principles, efficient waste management and responsible material sourcing.
