Accelerating impact: MTN publishes 2025 reports

MTN Group has released its annual reports for 2025. Produced under the theme of “Accelerating impact. Empowering Africa”, the suite of 13 reports provides a comprehensive review of strong delivery in its work of leading digital solutions for Africa’s progress.

“In the context of complex and often challenging geopolitical and operating conditions, 2025 was a year of numerous MTN milestones, which were achieved with the support of our many different stakeholders,” says MTN Group president and CEO, Ralph Mupita. “We invite you to read our 2025 reports, which strive to provide meaningful information tailored for numerous distinct audiences.”

The group’s flagship Integrated Report tells the overall MTN value-creation story, detailing its strategic achievements and evolution. It unpacks MTN’s excellent commercial momentum in its key markets and broader positive contribution across other markets in 2025. It details sustained growth in data and fintech, disciplined execution, focus on driving leading customer experience, and continued investment in network quality in the year.

Reflecting integrated thinking at the group, this information helps the investor community and other stakeholders better understand the group’s overall health and prospects. It is published alongside sustainability, financial and people reports as well as other important information for shareholders.

By extending digital and financial inclusion, MTN drives economic growth and creates value that gives Africans hope, dignity and opportunity. In its Sustainability Report, you will find details of the group’s progress against its shared value key performance indicators. These show how MTN is building a more resilient organisation, environment and society.

The regulatory landscape and compliance requirements in our industry and markets remain complex and dynamic. As a responsible and compliant corporate citizen, MTN publishes the annual Tax Transparency Report. Key to its licence to operate, the report shows that the group’s total tax contribution to tax authorities across its markets reached R61.1 billion in the year.

In a competitive environment for digital talent, MTN needs future-fit skills to deliver on its purpose. The People Report shines a light on the group’s resilient and adaptable people and values-based culture. The report also unpacks its progress in navigating the shifts in the nature of work and the workplace in a world where artificial intelligence has the potential to fundamentally transform both.

“As digital infrastructure becomes ever more central to economic participation, democratic life and social cohesion, the role of telecoms providers is no longer neutral,” says Mupita in a foreword to the annual Transparency Report. “Connectivity shapes power, access and opportunity. Our responsibility – as shown in this report – is to ensure this power is exercised with integrity and respect for digital human rights.”

Africa is facing increasing climate impacts alongside energy constraints that challenge the pace of decarbonisation. MTN’s Climate Report sets out how the group progressed from defining its climate ambition to embedding it into delivery in 2025. It also shows how MTN surpassed its emissions reduction target in the year, cutting scope 1 and 2 emissions by 48% off a 2021 baseline.

The suite of annual reports also includes a Notice of Annual General Meeting, which invites shareholders to participate in a virtual meeting on 29 May 2026. The Remuneration Report provides transparent disclosure of the remuneration of the group’s leadership based on performance against strategic priorities.

The ESG Data Booklet is a convenient resource for those interested in detailed disclosures relating to MTN’s planet, people, ethics and governance matters. As well as relevant statistics, it highlights the group’s policy and position statements on various ESG (environmental, social & governance) issues as well as a comprehensive GRI disclosure index.

“MTN’s compelling investment case is underpinned by the growth opportunities arising from the strong structural demand for data and fintech in our markets. We are committed to executing our strategy while creating shared value in our host markets, with sustainability at the core,” concludes Mupita.

“We thank our stakeholders for their ongoing support.”
