Better Health for All

Helios Towers' core business of providing mobile connectivity infrastructure enables access to life-enhancing services, including healthcare and digital health services, aligning with SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being.

The company states that global authorities like WHO and ICNIRP find no scientific evidence of adverse health effects from wireless technologies within safety limits, and its operations result in minimal public exposure to electric and magnetic fields, indicating negligible negative health externalities. The company proactively addresses perceived health risks by citing these authorities and explaining its operational limits, demonstrating excellent risk transparency. Helios Towers maintains an outstanding safety record, reporting no significant road traffic accidents (defined as requiring inpatient hospital care) where its safety approach is fully implemented, despite employees and contractors driving over 15 million kilometers annually. As the company does not offer direct health-related products or services to end-users, price accessibility, addiction mitigation, clinical trial ethics, nutrition and food safety, and pharma patent flexibility are not applicable.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Helios Towers reported a Total Recordable Case Frequency Rate (TRIR) for its contracted partners of 0.59 per 1 million people hours worked in December 2024, which translates to 0.118 per 200,000 hours.

However, there were 2 occupational fatalities and 7 high-potential occupational injuries (Lost-Time Incidents) among contracted partners in 2024. The company achieved an employee engagement score of 86% in 2024. In 2024, one concern regarding harassment and discrimination was raised but was not substantiated after an internal investigation.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The company requires all suppliers to include a dedicated human rights clause in their contracts during onboarding.

No specific, concrete data points were found for fair-trade certification, audit frequency, forced or child labour incidents over the last three years, supply chain traceability, remediation speed, materials risk, or the percentage of procurement budget directed to diverse suppliers.

Kind to Animals

Helios Towers PLC operates as a telecommunications infrastructure company, a business model that does not typically involve animal testing, animal-derived products, or animal agriculture. Consequently, most KPIs related to these activities, such as cruelty-free certification, alternative testing, humane certifications for operations, ethical input substitution, animal-related supplier audits, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policies and volume, innovation investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, and animal-free R&D collaboration, are not applicable to the company's core operations and are scored as N/A (0). While Helios Towers commits to protecting biodiversity and ecosystems

and promoting environmental standards among suppliers , the provided articles do not offer specific, measurable data on the biodiversity impact of conservation initiatives or active engagement in advocating for higher animal welfare policies, leading to the omission of these KPIs.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Helios Towers PLC demonstrates a strong commitment to local employment, with 95% of its employees being local hires as of 2024.

The company also prioritizes local procurement, directing 81% of its spend to local suppliers. In terms of cultural site protection, the company's site planning process includes checks to ensure that locations will not adversely impact any site of cultural heritage, and no incidents of disruption have been reported. The company implements a cultural impact assessment protocol, which includes conducting Environmental and Social Impact Assessments to determine if sites affect Indigenous settlements, engaging with Indigenous communities, and considering their contributions before construction. Furthermore, Helios Towers has a framework for responding to incidents, where all incidents are reviewed at Group level and investigated with impartiality. No specific cultural appropriation incidents have been reported.

Safe & Smart Tech

Helios Towers has not identified any substantiated complaints concerning breaches of customer privacy or unauthorized data use, which is supported by the company's operational model of not holding consumer data.

The company operates an ISO 27001-aligned cybersecurity management system and maintained five ISO accreditations, including ISO 37001 for anti-bribery, with 100% maintained in 2024. Helios Towers and all its operating companies comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions. The Group has not been subject to any significant instances of non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations or substantiated non-compliance with laws in the social and economic area during the reporting period.
