    Cellnex places significant emphasis on fostering a strong corporate culture that aligns with its purpose, values, and strategic objectives. This is achieved through a combination of structured engagement, clear communication, and incentive programmes designed to encourage alignment with the company’s values and goals. To ensure that the management and supervisory bodies are actively engaged with corporate culture, Cellnex conducts an annual Employee Engagement Pulse survey across the entire group. This survey assesses engagement levels, alignment with purposes and values, and gathers open feedback on areas for improvement. The results are presented to the Executive Committee (ExCom), which defines specific action plans to address key findings. These plans are integrated into the objectives of each ExCom member and included in their Management by Objectives (MBO) scheme, thus ensuring accountability and continuous improvement. The promotion and communication of corporate culture are anchored in Cellnex’s core values: Commitment, Entrepreneurship, Inclusion, Integrity, and Sustainability. These values form the foundation of initiatives aimed at fostering a unified “One Cellnex” team. Through purpose-driven leadership, the company promotes ethical behaviour, a growth-focused mindset, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability. This approach not only enhances employee engagement, but also drives innovation and ensures long-term organisational success. Key messages about corporate culture and strategic priorities are communicated directly to employees through Group Town Hall meetings, where the leadership provides updates on business performance and strategy, while offering employees the opportunity to ask questions. These meetings are essential for maintaining transparency and alignment across all levels of the organisation. To encourage and reinforce the desired corporate culture, Cellnex implements various recognition programmes. These include the annual Love Awards, which celebrate outstanding contributions, and the Love Broadcasters internal communications campaign, which amplifies messages of appreciation and engagement.

    Cellnex integrated ESG and risk management into its supply chain in 2022, in accordance with its ESG Master Plan. This involved a collaborative effort of various departments, such as Health & Safety, Legal, Security, ESG, Environment and Climate Change, Quality and Procurement in order to define a comprehensive model.

    The collaboration between these departments was centred on risk definition, supplier's categorisation, and on the configuration of a model that could include ESG questions and risk management in the following processes: supplier onboarding, qualification, sourcing, and contracts, and evaluation.

    This approach ensures the mitigation of potential risks on the supply chain and fosters its alignment with Cellnex's ESG objectives.

    Additionally, Cellnex categorises its suppliers into three tiers based on the company's annual expenditure on purchases and on the criticality of the services that they provide.

    • Tier A (critical suppliers), includes suppliers with annual purchases over €5,000,000, or those delivering critical services for business continuity.
    • Tier B, includes suppliers with annual purchases between €500,000 and €5,000,000.
    • Tier C, includes suppliers with annual purchases below €500,000.

    In 2024, the group qualified its critical suppliers, covering 65% of the total spent.

    In this regard, we can highlight Cellnex Italy, since strategically extends its commitment to values and a sustainable culture across the entire supply chain. The company seamlessly integrates supplier evaluation, selection and monitoring with the assessment of ESG requirements, thus reinforcing its dedication to sustainability.

    Cellnex's selection of suppliers for audit aligns with the ESG risk level, considering factors such as the supply's nature, certifications, dedication to social and environmental responsibility, and an assessment of the supplier's environmental, health and safety, and service quality.

    In 2024, Cellnex invested €26,000 in the CDP Supply Chain programme to promote transparency and encourage collaboration with suppliers to reduce emissions.

In addition, Cellnex offered a Supplier Support Programme with an investment of €10,100 to improve the quality of emissions data provided by its partners.
