The Strategic Priority “Being a Facilitator of Social progress”, in the Cellnex ESG Master Plan, identifies an action to create materials to explain to the public that 5G networks are designed to minimise power and they use a new, advanced and highly efficient radio architecture resulting in optimised levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields. In this regard, the Cellnex UK team wanted to raise awareness of the benefits of 5G, provide opportunities for the public to self-educate on this topic through a clear Communication and Action Plan based around education, information, process, best practice, partnerships and duty of care.
This approach is largely centred around signposting communities to reliable sources of information on 5G health and safety, such as by the WHO, ICNIRP and the UK Health Security Agency. Also to ensure best practice engagement with communities as part of the delivery process and help explain the need for apparatus on the sites and benefits of mobile connectivity. The team continues to build its communication through a Community Relations Strategy based around education, information, process, best practice, partnerships and duty of care. All this community liaison work is designed to minimise risk and disruption to Cellnex UK business infrastructure, customer delivery and growth.
Cellnex is strongly committed to respecting human rights across its daily operations and global value chain, both upstream and downstream, in various regions, embedding this commitment as a fundamental part of its core values. The company’s Human Rights Policy ensures that all employees are treated with dignity and respect and that their fundamental rights are protected. The policy is designed to safeguard the human rights of all stakeholders, including employees, contractors, and local communities affected by the company’s operations.
The identification and monitoring of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks in Cellnex’s activities and supply chain are carried out through the development of Due Diligence and the Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) to address potential legal responsibilities and ensure effective compliance with human rights regulations throughout the value chain.
