MTN Group has formally released its full suite of annual reports for 2025, offering stakeholders a structured account of the company’s commercial results, sustainability commitments, and governance practices across its African markets.
The suite of 13 reports, produced under the theme “Accelerating impact. Empowering Africa,” provides a comprehensive review of the company’s delivery in advancing digital solutions across the continent.
The flagship Integrated Report details MTN’s strategic achievements and commercial momentum in key markets. The group closed 2025 having surpassed 300 million subscribers for the first time, with data and fintech identified as the primary engines of growth. Data traffic accelerated by 27%, with average monthly data use per customer rising to 12.5 gigabytes from 10.8 gigabytes, while the volume of fintech transactions grew 15% to exceed 23 billion for the year, with total transaction value topping US$500 billion.
The Tax Transparency Report reflects MTN’s total tax contribution of R61.1 billion across its markets. The disclosure underscores the scale of MTN’s fiscal footprint across the continent, where it operates in 16 countries.
On the environmental front, MTN’s Climate Report sets out how the company surpassed its emissions reduction target in the year, cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 48% from a 2021 baseline. The report details how the company has moved from defining its climate ambition to embedding it into delivery amid increasing climate impacts and energy constraints across Africa.
The People Report addresses the company’s workforce strategy and values-driven culture, while acknowledging the evolving nature of work in an era increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.
The reporting suite also includes a Notice of Annual General Meeting, inviting shareholders to attend a virtual meeting on May 29, 2026, at which the remuneration implementation report will be put to shareholders again after failing to secure the required 75% support at the previous annual general meeting.
Group President and Chief Executive Officer Ralph Mupita said the company’s investment case rests on structural demand for data and fintech services across its markets. He also used the Transparency Report foreword to address the broader societal role of digital infrastructure, noting that connectivity shapes power, access and opportunity, and that MTN’s responsibility is to ensure that power is exercised with integrity and respect for digital human rights.
