Stakeholders need to work

with SAMENA Council on
decarbonization and advo-
cating policies that are
sustainability-driven. Net
zero ambition needs to be
at the heart of our busi-
nesses and strategies as

we address environmental,
social and governance
(ESG) indicators. SAMENA
is the right platform to drive
a framework for climate
action within the Telecom
Industry.

Leaders’ Summit 2022’s timing was
closely linked with the Industry’s evolving
need for planning new investments in 5G,
cloud infrastructure, and in discovering
resilience in the new opportunity
landscape. Moreover, the Summit aimed
to signal normalcy in business, and to
help open doors for leadership discourse
