How telecom leaders can build the business case for carbon reduction measures.

Overview
The mobile industry is accelerating its journey to Net Zero. Ambition alone, however, isn’t enough to secure investment in carbon reduction projects. Practitioners need business cases that are clear, credible and financially robust.
The GSMA has partnered with the Carbon Trust to create this handbook, helping practitioners across the telecommunications industry turn decarbonisation initiatives into investable decisions. The handbook focuses on demonstrating value by aligning emissions reduction with financial performance, risk management and long‑term business strategy.
The handbook covers:
- How to decide which carbon reduction measures should be prioritised.
- How to apply financial analysis, scenario planning, and transition risk considerations that strengthen the case for investment.
- Practical tools and worked examples to support collaboration across climate, finance and strategy teams.
- An interactive cash-flow calculator. Using illustrative figures, assumptions and inputs, the calculator can be used by practitioners to model the 'business-as-usual' scenario against a proposed carbon reduction solution.
