MTN Ghana announces 2040 net-zero ambition, plans EV transition and greener operations

Leading telecommunications operator MTN Ghana has announced an ambitious target to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2040, reinforcing its commitment to climate action and sustainable business practices.

For MTN Ghana, the commitment will require significant changes across its operations, including powering network infrastructure with cleaner energy, transitioning from petrol and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs), improving energy efficiency, and strengthening the management of electronic waste.

Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere with an equivalent amount removed or permanently offset.
