To implement ESG within their operations, XL Axiata initiated the voluntary program "XL Axiata Carbon Warrior" at the beginning of this year, allowing employees to actively contribute to the company's sustainable efforts.

Some of the initiatives include green BTS implementation, e-SIM adoption, and promoting the movement to turn off unused lights.
XL Axiata remains committed to ESG principles, aiming to support Indonesia's carbon emission reduction target of 43.2 percent by 2030 and reduce its own carbon emissions by 45 percent from the 2020 baseline by 2030. By achieving these goals, XL Axiata aims to play a role in preventing long-term disasters caused by climate change.
