Breaking New Ground In Corporate Transparency

Cyta’s Chief Operating Officer, Nicos Stylianou, recently unveiled the company’s pioneering True Value assessment, underscoring its extensive influence on the Cypriot economy and society. This initiative extends beyond traditional connectivity, reflecting Cyta’s longstanding role as a critical driver in both development and daily life in Cyprus.

Embracing A Holistic Methodology

To address growing expectations for corporate transparency, Cyta adopted the True Value methodology, a framework based on international standards that evaluates economic, social, and environmental impact. The assessment measures factors such as technology investments, tax contributions, job creation, and sustainability practices to provide a clearer view of the company’s overall footprint.

Economic And Social Impact Quantified

Stylianou noted that while conventional financial statements focus on revenue and profitability, the True Value framework translates wider social and economic effects into measurable financial terms. The assessment includes elements such as employee training, social responsibility initiatives, and environmental impact alongside traditional business metrics.

A Testament To National Development

According to the report, Cyta generated and retained more than €551 million in value within Cyprus in 2024. The company’s network of around 3,000 employees and partners supports critical infrastructure and services, including household connectivity, education, and business operations.

Investing In The Future

Stylianou also highlighted continued investment in digital infrastructure, green energy, and digital skills development. These initiatives are intended to support long-term innovation, attract investment, and strengthen employment opportunities in the local economy.

A Model Of Accountability And Trust

At its core, the True Value framework is a declaration of accountability. By transparently mapping its full spectrum of contributions, Cyta not only fortifies public trust but also sets the stage for responsible decision-making in an era of rapid technological change. According to Stylianou, “The value of an organisation is reflected in what returns to society and remains in the country.” This is a principle that resonates at every level of Cyta’s operations.

Conclusion

Through continued investment and operational development, Cyta remains a significant part of Cyprus’s digital and economic infrastructure. The company says its focus on measurable social and economic value will guide future decision-making as the telecom sector evolves.

Cyprus Leads EU With Highest Per Capita Greenhouse Gas Footprint In 2023

February 20, 2026

Cyprus Tops The Emissions List

New Eurostat data shows that Cyprus recorded the highest per-capita greenhouse gas footprint in the European Union in 2023. The country reported 14.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per person, well above the EU average of 9.0 tonnes. The figures highlight the impact of consumption patterns and imported goods on national emissions.

Overview Of 2023 Emissions Data

According to the report, the greenhouse gas footprint linked to goods and services consumed within the EU averaged 9.0 tonnes per person in 2023, down from 10.0 tonnes in 2022. The consumption-based metric measures emissions generated across entire supply chains, regardless of where production takes place.

Contrasting Emissions Across Member States

Cyprus recorded the highest level at 14.8 tonnes per capita, followed by Ireland at 14.0 tonnes and Luxembourg at 12.7 tonnes. At the lower end of the scale, Portugal reported 6.5 tonnes per capita, with Bulgaria, Sweden, and Romania also recording comparatively low figures. The differences reflect varying consumption patterns and the carbon intensity of imported goods and services.

Consumption Versus Production Emissions

Across the EU, the greenhouse gas footprint tied to consumption reached 4.0 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2023, compared with production-based emissions of 3.3 billion tonnes. The gap illustrates how imported goods contribute to overall emissions. Over the past decade, consumption-based emissions declined by 12.9%, while production-based emissions fell by 18.6%, partly influenced by the economic slowdown during the 2020 pandemic.

Implications For Policymakers And Business Leaders

The data suggests that emissions strategies increasingly need to address both domestic production and consumption patterns. For Cyprus, this means looking beyond local energy reforms to examine the carbon footprint of imported products and supply chains. Businesses and policymakers may need to consider broader sustainability measures that reflect how goods are produced and consumed.

As the EU continues to strive for reduced emissions, this report serves as a vital resource. It illustrates the progress in lowering production emissions while drawing attention to the substantial challenge posed by the consumption-based footprint. In the evolving realm of environmental policy, these insights are indispensable for steering future initiatives on a path towards greater sustainability.
