XL Axiata believes that digital transformation is
one of the keys to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through technology, the community and the business world can achieve efficiencies and reduce energy use.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
XL Axiata’s operational activities rely on several conventional energy sources, namely electricity, diesel fuel for BTS in locations without access to electricity, and fuel for transportation. In terms of utilizing renewable energy, XL Axiata uses solar cells as a backup for its 387 existing BTS. The following table shows energy consumption in all XL Axiata operational areas – electricity is calculated based on PLN meter measurements, while fuel and diesel is calculated in liters.

Environmental
Management
XL Axiata always strives to carry out activities related to environmental sustainability that are manifested in energy and emission controls, as well as other efforts such as:
Replacement of copper by fiber optic cables. In the past, copper cables were used to transmit data. However, copper mining harms the environment and produces toxic by-products. In contrast, fiber optic cables have minimal environmental impacts while consuming 25 times less energy than copper cables. Economy-wise, fiber optics produce more bandwidth than copper. The replacement of copper by fiber optics is being conducted gradually.
Cutting back on disposable plastics, such as plastic cups, plastic bottles, and plastic cutlery, in offices, canteens, pantries, and meeting rooms.
