SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, has once again secured an "A" score for climate change from CDP, ranking among the top 4% of companies globally. ZTE Recognized on CDP Climate A List for Third Consecutive Year, Ranking Among the Global Top 4% This marks the third consecutive year that ZTE has received CDP's top ranking, making it the only company in mainland China to achieve this distinction for three years running in recent years. The recognition not only underscores strong international acknowledgement of ZTE's environmental governance and climate action, but also highlights the company's leadership as an industry pioneer in advancing the global transition toward a low-carbon economy. CDP, an authoritative international platform for environmental information disclosure, has developed a globally recognized measurement system to assess corporate progress in climate action, transparency, and comprehensive performance. Its scores are widely used to inform investment and procurement decisions. In 2025, over 22,100 companies globally — representing more than half of the world's market capitalization — disclosed data on climate change, forests, and water security through CDP. Receiving the highest "A" score indicates that a company ranks among the top 4% globally in climate governance, target setting, action effectiveness, and risk management capabilities. ZTE has deeply integrated green and low-carbon principles into its development strategy, paving "green digital pathway" through four key dimensions — Green Operations, Green Supply Chain, Green Digital Infrastructure, and Green Empowerment — to help various industries accelerate their green transformation. For Green Operation, ZTE implemented several energy-saving and emission-reduction initiatives, resulting in an absolute electricity savings of 45 million kWh. The company recorded a 13.4% reduction in Scope 1&2 emissions compared to the previous year. Its telecom products saw an 8.39% reduction in physical emissions intensity during the use and maintenance phase, while its terminal products achieved a 5.02% year-on-year reduction in absolute emissions over the entire product lifecycle. ZTE reduced its Scope 1&2&3 carbon emissions by 14.317 million tons in 2024 compared to 2023 levels. For Green Supply Chain, ZTE has integrated green innovation strategy requirements into supplier management IT systems, including agreement signing, on-site audits, and performance assessments. To date, the company has conducted Corporate Social Responsibility on-site audits for over 450 production suppliers, guided 152 suppliers in completing organizational-level carbon inventories, and assisted 51 suppliers in establishing carbon reduction targets and measures. For Green Digital Infrastructure, ZTE currently holds over 800 green patents. So far, the company has conducted carbon footprint assessments for 240 products, covering all its product categories. Through its end-to-end green solutions, ZTE continues to help global operators save over 10 billion kWh of electricity annually. For Green Empowerment, ZTE has integrated cloud and network infrastructure, IoT, big data, AI and other cutting-edge technologies with traditional industries to achieve a win-win outcome of development and emission reduction. The company has partnered with over 2,000 leading industry players to carry out 5G-powered innovative green practices across 18 sectors — including steel, metallurgy, electronics manufacturing, ports, rail transit, mining, and power — pioneering more than 100 innovative application scenarios. ZTE's long-term commitment to sustainable development has been consistently recognized. The company has received official approval from the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its near-term 1.5°C target and long-term net-zero targets, and has also been awarded the Gold Medal by EcoVadis, placing it among the leading 4% of companies assessed worldwide. As the member of the UN Global Compact, the Global eSustainability Initiative, and COP29 Green Digital Initiative, ZTE will continue to deepen its role as a "Driver of Digital Economy", collaborating with global partners and customers to advance towards a green and intelligent future, contributing robust efforts to address global climate change and build a sustainable, better world.

Recognised among global leaders in climate transparency and action SINGAPORE, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- StarHub has achieved its first-ever 'A' rating in CDP's 2025 Climate Change Assessment, marking the highest climate score StarHub has received to date and a meaningful milestone in its sustainability journey. The 'A' rating places StarHub among a small group of organisations globally recognised for leadership in how they manage, measure and communicate climate-related risks and opportunities. For StarHub, this recognition reflects a clear step forward in how climate considerations are embedded across the business. Over the past year, the focus shifted from meeting disclosure requirements to strengthening how climate risks, emissions and targets are measured, managed and communicated as part of everyday operations and longer-term planning. Running large-scale, always-on digital and network infrastructure is energy-intensive by nature for telco operators. In response, StarHub is taking practical steps to lower the carbon intensity of its operations while continuing to deliver reliable services to customers. These efforts include improving energy efficiency across network sites and data centres through advanced monitoring, virtualisation, and the progressive retirement of legacy systems, as well as increasing renewable energy adoption through renewable electricity purchases and on-site solar deployment across its facilities. StarHub is also progressing fleet and operations decarbonisation through cleaner mobility options and strengthening emissions management across its supply chain. A key contributor to this year's 'A' rating was StarHub's deeper approach to data collection and value chain engagement. StarHub worked closely with key suppliers through a stewardship-led approach to obtain bottom-up, activity-based emissions information. This enabled more intentional refinement of datasets across its most material Scope 3 emission categories and strengthened the quality of its disclosures. These efforts are underpinned by a practical decarbonisation and supplier engagement roadmap anchored in science-based principles, guiding StarHub's emissions reduction ambitions towards 2030 and 2050. Building on these foundations, StarHub demonstrated closer alignment between emissions performance and its science-based targets, reflecting a more mature approach that goes beyond reporting numbers to active climate risk management. StarHub continues to disclose its progress and challenges transparently, reflecting the realities of decarbonising complex digital and network operations. These disclosure improvements build on concrete actions already underway. In 2024, StarHub introduced long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to increase the use of renewable energy across its operations, supporting a gradual reduction in the carbon footprint of its network. Achieving an 'A' rating marks an important milestone in StarHub's climate journey. It reflects stronger discipline, greater transparency and continued commitment to making meaningful progress in a complex, always-on industry. More details on StarHub's climate and sustainability performance can be found in its Sustainability Report 2024 and Climate Transition Plan, with the 2025 Sustainability Report to be published in April 2026.
