Beyond environmental efforts, we invest in our communities, uphold the highest ethical standards and governance systems, and generate unprecedented economic benefits. We also align with the United Nations Global Compact’s (UNGC) 10 principles and adhere to the GSMA’s sustainability guidelines and metrics, applying sustainable practices across our operations and our entire value chain at a group level.

At stc, we do more than adapt to industry shifts; our mission is to lead the ICT sector into a future where sustainability is at the forefront, underscored by our comprehensive strategy that encompasses innovation, community engagement, and ethical governance.
