Market Insight Report: 5G Sustainability for Network Equipment Providers

The network equipment provider (NEP) 5G sustainability market encompasses the strategic commitment that NEPs make to fulfill their organization-wide sustainability goals. For the purposes of this Market Insight Report, we are using the UN World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) definition of sustainability: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” 

For telecommunications network equipment providers, fulfilling their 5G-powered sustainability goals encompasses the integration of environmental health, social equity, and economic vitality that contribute directly to the health, productivity, and inclusiveness of their served markets for this generation and generations to come. As such, the practice of sustainability acknowledges developing a systematic approach which directly advances meeting organization-wide sustainability goals, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets.

In our latest Market Insight Report, 5G Sustainability for Network Equipment Providers, we take a deep dive into the top 5G sustainability market shapers, 5G sustainability criterion, 5G sustainability priorities and strategies, and the foremost 5G NEP sustainability portfolios.
