Cellnex recognised by CDP as Supplier Engagement Leader for the second consecutive year

• The non-profit organisation recognises the Company for engaging its suppliers in the fight against climate change and its efforts to measure and reduce environmental impact in its supply chain.

Barcelona, 15^th March 2023.- Cellnex has been recognised for the second consecutive year as “Supplier Engagement Leader” for its leadership in combating climate change by CDP, a non-profit organisation that manages a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their impact on the environment.

Cellnex’s commitment to sustainability and its efforts to measure and reduce climate risk within its supply chain has materialised during 2022 through training sessions on CDP to increase supplier participation. It has also launched a project to accompany and assist different suppliers in their carbon footprint calculation. This has managed to increase participation and the quality of the responses, with 225 participants responding in 2022 out of the 355 invited, 26% more than in 2021. Through the accompanying project, Cellnex has calculated the carbon emissions of 44% of the suppliers, which allows to improve the measurement and knowledge about the impact of their supply chain.

Àngels Ucero, Director of Sustainability at Cellnex pointed out that “a recognition like this is another example of Cellnex’s commitment to the development and implementation of good practices in environmental and climate change matters in the value chain. Together with the support of the Company’s purchasing area, this year we have managed to increase the participation of suppliers by 26%, also increasing the quality of the responses”.

Sonya Bhonsle, CDP’s Global Head of Value Chains says, “this year’s report shows that environmental action is not happening at the speed, scale and scope required to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees, with many companies still not acknowledging that their impact on the environment extends far beyond their operations and that of climate change”. And adds, “therefore, we need to see environmental leadership from companies right now by tackling their impacts on climate change and nature together, working with their suppliers in an integrated way that includes nature as standard, and incentivizing this engagement within their organization.”

Cellnex has also recently been recognised by CDP for its transparency and commitment to climate change, consolidating its place on the “A List” for the fourth consecutive year.
