In 2025/26, we made significant progress in bridging the digital divide, advancing financial inclusion and supporting underserved communities through strategic investment in connectivity, people and sustainable practices.

Key ESG highlights:

Expanding connectivity and bridging the digital divide.

We’re connecting the unconnected, giving millions access to voice, data and mobile money services – driving economic opportunity and enhancing access to essential services.

Driving financial inclusion and economic participation.

Through inclusive digital services and affordable financial products, we’re empowering individuals and communities, particularly women, to fully participate in the digital economy.

Supporting education, skills and employment opportunities.

Our growing network of agents supports employment and entrepreneurship opportunities across our footprint. In addition, by providing free connectivity and online resources to schools via the Airtel Africa Foundation, we’re helping young people reach their full potential.

Minimising the environmental impact of operations.

We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint through investment in renewable energy solutions and responsible waste management.
