Emergency & Disaster Response

Natural disasters, intensified by climate change, present significant risks across many of the countries where we operate.

 

As a telecommunications and digital services provider, we play a critical role in supporting national governments and communities during times of crisis. As a signatory to the GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter, we leverage our capabilities to enhance disaster preparedness, strengthen resilience, and facilitate coordination with governments and NGOs. 

 

To remain a reliable pillar of support, our OpCos implement a robust Business Continuity Management (BCM) Framework aligned with ISO 22301 standards, ensuring continuity of service for communities during times of crisis.

 

Through Axiata Foundation’s Jalinan Kasih Budi programme, along with initiatives led by our OpCos, we also equip employees and volunteers with the training needed to reinforce disaster response and humanitarian aid.
