CommScope just released its 2023 Sustainability Report, and I’d like to share highlights of the great work we did in 2022 in driving sustainability actions across our business.
In 2022, we remained focused on the importance of our global responsibility to people, society at large and the environment we all share. We innovated more sustainable product designs, further decarbonized our operations, and prioritized diversity and community initiatives.
We’re proud of our sustainability achievements so far, but we always aim for more. Our 2023 Sustainability Report provides many details of our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) progress we made during the past year. In it, you’ll find many compelling facts and figures about CommScope’s ESG initiatives and programs. You can also see an interactive version and infographic for a more consolidated look at our performance.
