Orange Middle East and Africa (OMEA) has published its 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, titled Building the Future Together, highlighting the company’s continued investment in digital inclusion, resilient infrastructure and sustainable development across Africa and the Middle East.

The report outlines Orange’s efforts to promote inclusive economic growth through expanded digital, financial and energy services while strengthening infrastructure and advancing responsible corporate governance.

Serving more than 179 million customers across 18 countries and supported by nearly 19,000 employees, Orange said its strategy is centred on building resilient infrastructure, expanding access to digital opportunities and maintaining high standards of ethics, transparency and sustainability.

According to the report, the company continues to invest in stronger and more secure telecommunications infrastructure through artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, renewable energy solutions and the expansion of network coverage. It also highlighted initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact, including the increased use of solar-powered sites and the adoption of circular economy practices for digital equipment.

Orange also showcased the expansion of its digital ecosystem through services such as Max it, Orange Money, Orange Bank Africa, Orange Energies and affordable Sanza smartphones, which are designed to improve access to digital, financial and energy solutions for millions of people across the region.

A major focus of the report is the impact of the Orange Digital Centres, now operating in 16 countries. The centres have supported approximately 1.4 million beneficiaries by providing digital skills training, internationally recognised certifications, entrepreneurship programmes, business incubation and access to startup funding.

Orange said it aims to increase the number of young people trained through the initiative to three million by 2030, reinforcing its commitment to youth employability, entrepreneurship and digital skills development.

The report also highlights the company’s emphasis on responsible governance through diversity and inclusion initiatives, employee development programmes and the Orange Engage for Change initiative, which encourages staff to participate in social and environmental projects across the region.

Commenting on the report, Orange Middle East and Africa Chief Executive Officer, Yasser Shaker, said the company’s success is measured not only by the strength of its networks but also by the positive impact it creates for communities.

He said continued investments in resilient infrastructure, inclusive services and talent development are laying the foundation for sustainable growth across Africa and the Middle East.
