Barcelona, July 17, 2025 – For the fourth consecutive year, Cellnex has been included in CDP’s Supplier Engagement Leaderboard for its transparency and commitment in the fight against climate change. The company has earned a place on the prestigious “A List” of the Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) by the international non-profit organization CDP, which manages the world’s leading environmental impact disclosure platform for companies, cities, states, and regions.
This recognition highlights Cellnex’s responsible management of its supply chain, which includes more than 6,500 suppliers, who are asked to disclose detailed information about their impact on climate change, carbon footprint, and environmental performance to ensure compliance with sustainability standards.
As part of its Net-Zero strategy for 2050, Cellnex has a commitment validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)—a global initiative that helps companies set emission reduction targets aligned with climate science to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, in line with the Paris Agreement. The company aims to reduce absolute emissions related to purchased goods and services and capital goods by 21% by 2025. As of 2024, a 19% reduction has already been achieved compared to 2020.
Yolanda Romero, Head of Environment and Climate Change, stated: “Integrating sustainability into our supply chain is essential to optimizing operational efficiency. At Cellnex, we collaborate with all our suppliers to map value chain activities, assess emissions from procurement, transportation, and infrastructure use. Through CDP’s Supply Chain Program, we collect data that guides us toward effective reduction initiatives.” She added: “Climate action must be a shared responsibility between the public and private sectors to ensure a sustainable future for the next generations. For us, remaining on the A List is a sign of high-quality data, a benchmark for transition planning, and most importantly, a demonstration of our commitment to a net-zero future with a positive impact on our environment.”
According to CDP, “Companies committed to transparency are doing far more than simply complying with regulations—they are leading the way. Moreover, by promoting responsible practices among their suppliers, companies drive the shift toward more sustainable and resilient economic models.”
To achieve its absolute emissions reduction target, Cellnex has long promoted collaboration with its key suppliers to jointly address climate change. Notable initiatives include:
- Participation of suppliers in CDP’s Supply Chain Program, aimed at collecting primary data to measure and improve Scope 3 emissions management. In 2024, more than 200 suppliers participated in the program.
- A Supplier Support Program for resource-limited vendors, helping them calculate their carbon footprint. In 2024, over 65 SME suppliers benefited from this initiative.
- Enhancement of the Supplier Risk Management Model, incorporating environmental and emissions reduction criteria into procurement processes.
Cellnex has defined a decarbonization roadmap to reduce its carbon footprint and facilitate the transition to a low-emissions economy. Thanks to its commitment to climate action and transparency, Cellnex has also been recognized by CDP for six consecutive years as a sustainability leader in the telecommunications infrastructure sector, being the only TowerCo included in the “A List”.
