ESG at A1 Group
The A1 Group is aware of its responsibility and influence on the environment and society. It is very important to the Group to keep constantly improving the world we live in. This is clearly reflected in its commitment and its specific targets for the environment, society, and people.
By integrating ESG in its corporate strategy as a strategy enabler, the A1 Group has clearly established its obligations in the company and takes account of these when making key decisions. The A1 Group aims for more efficient, resource-saving and more sustainable ways of working and living, and views its initiatives in this area as long-term value drivers that bring environmental and social benefits.
As a driver of digitalization, the A1 Group makes a substantial contribution to promoting environmental sustainability, resource conservation, and equal opportunities in society for the benefit of people and the environment. Through the use of digital media, digitalization establishes an important basis for equal access to information, education, and knowledge. And last but not least, digitalization can reduce negative environmental impacts and the waste of resources, thereby supporting the fight against climate change.
In keeping with its guiding principle of “Empowering Digital Life,” the A1 Group has already achieved its goal of being not just a provider of infrastructure, connectivity, and bandwidth, but also a pioneer and companion in the digital transformation.
