TDF has once again confirmed its position as the leading European player in the “Telecom Infrastructure” category of the GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) ranking, for the second consecutive year. With an overall score of 97/100, up one point compared to last year, TDF stands out for the strength and consistency of its environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance strategy.
This result reflects the excellence of TDF’s commitment and practices, combining technological innovation with social responsibility.
TDF achieved the maximum score in both the Social (59/59) and Governance (24/24) categories, recognising the quality of its social policies, voluntary commitments such as its support for the United Nations Global Compact, its strong focus on health and safety, as well as the robustness of its governance and transparency practices.
In the Environmental category (14/17), TDF continues to build its decarbonisation pathway and progressively structure its actions in favour of more sustainable infrastructure and improved waste management. The Group is pursuing the reduction of its carbon footprint, strengthening emissions monitoring and continuing to invest concretely in more responsible energy solutions, including the development of solar farms and photovoltaic canopies, as well as the use of a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA).
GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) is an organisation that assesses the ESG practices of real asset infrastructure companies. Each year, it benchmarks and evaluates companies on their management of environmental, social and governance issues.
A mission of territorial interest in support of responsible connectivity
Deeply rooted in local communities, TDF plays a key role in ensuring access to digital services for all. Through its infrastructure deployed across mainland France and overseas territories, TDF provides television and radio broadcasting, contributes to mobile network coverage, strengthens indoor mobile connectivity (in confined spaces), and develops local data centres as well as private mobile networks. As a trusted local partner, TDF leverages its infrastructure assets and designs sustainable solutions to meet the needs of territories and their inhabitants.
For 50 years, TDF has been connecting people across France, including in the most remote and hard-to-reach areas, reaffirming its role as a local infrastructure operator. Environmental responsibility and social commitments lie at the heart of its business model and identity. Working alongside its customers, TDF positions itself as a builder of lasting connections in the service of territories. As a committed company, TDF develops eco-responsible infrastructure and connectivity solutions, aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of networks while supporting sustainable innovation.
Karim El Naggar, Chief Executive Officer of TDF, commented:
“Through this new distinction, TDF reaffirms its ambition to combine industrial performance, environmental responsibility and positive territorial impact, making ESG a sustainable driver of competitiveness and value creation. While our social and governance results are now at the highest level, we are pursuing our environmental efforts with the same level of ambition. Reducing our carbon footprint and developing more energy-efficient and sustainable digital infrastructure are key pillars of our strategy, in the service of territories and the people of France.”
