Environmental Responsibility
At CommScope, we are redefining the possibilities of connectivity. We enable our network partners to overcome their most pressing challenges today, all while shaping the innovations of tomorrow.
Sustainability is one of the defining challenges of our era, and CommScope is committed to being part of the solution. Our sustainability strategy centers on reducing our environmental footprint, advancing solutions that help our customers achieve their sustainability goals and maintaining transparent communication regarding our progress and performance
.
We are seeing the rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which brings vast opportunity but also carries significant implications. CommScope has been working to provide infrastructure solutions in the areas of iterative and generative AI (GenAI) for many years and we support some of the key global providers in the cloud, hyperscale and internet industry. We believe AI’s support will become crucial if we are to solve today’s energy challenges and, by extension, help in the fight for a sustainable future.
We take an innovative approach to infrastructure that is forward-looking, ensuring we deliver for our customers now and in the future. We build solutions not only to solve existing challenges but to prepare our customers for challenges they are not yet aware of. That’s why we believe that building the solutions that empower AI innovation can help it develop more sustainably at scale.
Over the past year, we made notable strides in environmental stewardship, achieving a 44% reduction in market-based Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to our 2019 base year. CommScope continues to be publicly recognized for our sustainability efforts and received accolades for our responsible business practices, our work to combat the effects of climate change and our efforts to promote sustainability in our work. For the 8th consecutive year, we achieved a Gold Sustainability Rating Medal from EcoVadis, a global leader in monitoring, benchmarking and enabling sustainability in global supply chains.
CommScope is advancing our sustainability efforts through the development of broadband solutions that prioritize simplicity and efficiency, and our broadband outlook for 2025 is Smaller, Simpler Is Better. Smaller, simpler and more sustainable products will help service providers overcome potential labor shortages, resolve challenging deployment economics and meet sustainability objectives.
In 2024, we continued to make significant progress towards our objective of bridging the digital divide, expanding digital infrastructure across the country to better connect all members of society, such as our collaboration with SMARTwave in San Jose, CA and our Rural Broadband Service Solutions in Ontario.
This year we also continued to strengthen our social responsibility efforts, including our support for various community involvement activities, disaster relief donations, and support for disadvantaged communities.
We are making great progress in fulfilling our sustainability commitments while driving industry innovation, but we remain acutely aware of the work that still remains. As such, we are committed to setting more ambitious targets for the coming years. I am
excited for the future and the role CommScope will play in
building a more sustainable and connected world.
You will find more details of our sustainability
progress in this report, where we detail our initiatives,
accomplishments and ongoing sustainability efforts.
As always, I welcome your feedback.
Sincerely,
Chuck Treadway
President and Chief Executive Officer
