dstelecom has just achieved a score of 95% in the GRESB Infrastructure Asset Benchmark Report 2024, consolidating its position as one of the 5 most sustainable telecommunications operators in Europe. For the second consecutive year in the Top 5, we have secured 4th place in this prestigious ranking, improving our score on the previous year.

A rigorous and voluntary assessment

The GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) ranking is based on a rigorous and independent assessment, to which we voluntarily submit, which demonstrates our commitment to transparency and the continuous improvement of our sustainability practices. This analysis measures the sustainable management and performance of companies, covering a wide range of criteria from leadership and corporate governance to risk management, stakeholder involvement and internal policies.

The assessment process also includes detailed metrics such as:

• Energy efficiency and resource management;
• Greenhouse gas emissions and air quality;
• Water and waste management;
• Health and safety in the workplace;
• Policies and codes of conduct;
• Certifications and awards attesting to the quality of the practices implemented.

Commitment to sustainability and continuous improvement

The increase in our score demonstrates that not only do we maintain a high standard of sustainable performance, but that we are continually evolving and improving our practices. This result reflects our commitment to leading the transformation of the telecommunications sector, ensuring an increasingly sustainable approach in line with the environmental and social challenges of the future.

Being in the Top 5 of Europe's most sustainable telecommunications operators for the second year running is a source of pride and reinforces our ambition to continue driving a more responsible and sustainable sector.

In the context of GRESB, the score also provides a relative comparison. It indicates that the asset or company assessed is performing significantly better than many of its peers in terms of ESG practices.
