StarHub has achieved its first-ever ‘A’ rating in the CDP’s 2025 Climate Change Assessment, marking a significant milestone in its sustainability efforts. This accolade places StarHub among a select group of global organisations recognised for their leadership in managing and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities.
The telecommunications company has been actively working to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations, which are inherently energy-intensive due to its large-scale, always-on digital and network infrastructure. StarHub’s initiatives include enhancing energy efficiency across network sites and data centres, increasing the adoption of renewable energy, and advancing fleet and operational decarbonisation.
A key factor in achieving the ‘A’ rating was StarHub’s improved data collection and engagement with its value chain. By collaborating closely with suppliers, StarHub gathered detailed emissions data, allowing for more precise refinement of its Scope 3 emission categories. This approach is part of a broader decarbonisation and supplier engagement roadmap, anchored in science-based principles, guiding the company towards its emissions reduction targets for 2030 and 2050.
StarHub’s commitment to transparency is evident in its ongoing disclosure of progress and challenges in decarbonising its operations. In 2024, the company introduced long-term Power Purchase Agreements to boost renewable energy use, further reducing its carbon footprint.
This achievement underscores StarHub’s dedication to sustainability and positions it as a leader in climate action within the telecommunications industry.
