Mahran’s recognition cements Orange Egypt’s distinguished position as a key player in the telecommunications sector and a pioneer in embedding sustainability at the core of its operations and strategy.
This honor reflects Orange Egypt’s transformation into not only a leader in advanced telecommunications and digital solutions but also a regional benchmark for sustainable business practices. In 2024, the company reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 12%, bringing total emissions down to 111 kilotons, while increasing reliance on renewable energy to 44%. Orange Egypt also expanded its solar-powered network sites under the G2G project and continued operating Egypt’s first fully solar-powered retail branch in Sharm El-Sheikh.
Reinforcing its commitment to the circular economy, Orange Egypt launched a nationwide electronic waste management program, recycled devices, reused 20% of network equipment, and replaced single-use plastic bags with biodegradable alternatives across all branches. The company also introduced E-SIM and Eco-SIM cards made from recycled plastic, strengthening its portfolio of eco-friendly solutions.
Hisham Mahran’s recognition by Forbes stands as a testament to Orange Egypt’s forward-looking sustainability strategy and reaffirms both regional and international confidence in the company’s leadership. This milestone underscores Orange Egypt’s growing influence not only in Egypt but across the wider Middle East as a sustainability champion.
