América Móvil B.V.

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

América Móvil's climate strategy comprises two main approaches: transitioning to cleaner energy sources like renewables and improving efficiency. In 2022, Claro Brasil led by transferring an additional 30% of its grid electricity consumption to renewable sources, equivalent to a 114,000 tCO2e reduction. 44% of subsidiaries have begun the transition to renewable energy through power purchase agreements. Latin American legislation requires a minimum energy consumption to close a PPA, which the firm doesn't meet per site, so they evaluate maximum renewable capacity per local mechanism. Achieved 29% renewable share of total energy in 2022 (up from 21% in 2021).

América Móvil states it is 'evaluating carbon compensation programs as a means to further reduce our GHG emissions footprint.' No durable removals (DAC, BECCS, biochar) or specific offset retirements were disclosed for 2022. The reforestation work via WWF-Fundación Telmex Telcel (20.7 million trees planted, 18,843 hectares reforested in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve) is framed as biodiversity conservation rather than inventory removals.

• Equipment modernisation & refrigerant gas substitution

  Upgrading equipment to more efficient models and replacing refrigerant gases with low-impact alternatives as part of annual maintenance plans. Deploying band-dual technology that minimises antenna requirements while maintaining performance. Implementing an Energy Management System (EMS) providing real-time electricity-use data across facilities.

• Digital customer self-service to reduce travel & paper

  92.1% of transactions now via self-management channels. 100% of operations offer website, app and social-media interaction. Digital customer journeys eliminate physical travel and paper-based processes, reducing emissions associated with transport and resource consumption.

• Radio Access Network (RAN) energy efficiency

  The radio access network represents the largest share of electricity consumption. Implemented 51 network and energy efficiency projects, reducing CO2 emissions from electricity by more than 25% since 2019. Introduced 'RAN energy-saving features' across all subsidiaries to save energy at base stations during low-traffic periods without compromising network quality. Achieved 26% reduction in carbon intensity per terabyte transmitted vs 2021 (62% vs 2019), reaching 0.19 tCO2e per TB.

• Fuel reduction at off-grid base stations

  Most fuel consumption is by vehicles and power plants providing connectivity in remote areas lacking electricity access. Replacing diesel power plants with hybrid solar-based systems and optimizing battery use at off-grid base stations significantly reduced diesel consumption. Diesel down 12% (to 41.7M liters) and gasoline down 3% (to 52.3M liters) vs 2019. However, Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico drove a 252% fuel-consumption spike vs 2021 in that operation.

• Supplier due-diligence with environmental clauses

  Launched Third-Party Due Diligence Program in 2022 to evaluate suppliers and business partners on corruption, money laundering, human rights, labour and environmental risks. 877 due diligence assessments initiated, 232 completed. Target: evaluate 100% of tier-1 suppliers by 2025; train 100% of partners on Code of Ethics and Anti-corruption and at least 50% on environmental footprint by 2025. Contracts include sustainability clauses requiring legal, sustainable sourcing and no conflict minerals.

• Enabling customer emissions reductions via cloud & IoT

  Migration of workloads to the cloud helps customers reduce their carbon footprint via energy efficiency, scalability, hardware reduction and remote collaboration. In 2022 served over 1.7 million cloud customers, with 15,500 on public clouds and 3.7 million using SaaS applications. Cloud services revenue exceeded USD 453.4 million with 28% annual growth. IoT/M2M connections grew 28% in 2022, enabling efficiency in transport, agriculture (Claro Ecuador shrimp farming), and energy management (AstraZeneca).
