Cautionary statements
This report contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by relevant safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements (or their equivalent) of any applicable jurisdiction, including those contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “commits,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecast,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the purpose, ambition, aims, targets, plans, expectations and objectives of IHS Towers relating to ESG and sustainability matters and achievements; achievement of sustainable practices and limiting our environmental impact; helping our employees, suppliers and communities which we serve to build sustainable practices and livelihoods; our commitment to maintaining ethics and good governance in our workplace; enhancing the health and wellbeing of our employees, suppliers and local communities; and greater equality, inclusion and equity efforts.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
Although we have identified certain ESG topics as priorities for our business and stakeholders, expectations and circumstances surrounding such matters are developing quickly, and we cannot guarantee that we will not be subject to risks or liabilities associated with other ESG topics, including topics that may as of yet be unknown to us. No part of this report or the website on which it is hosted constitutes, or shall be taken to constitute, an invitation or inducement to invest in IHS Towers or any other entity and must not be relied upon in any way in connection with any investment decisions. References to any website or other documents contained in this report are provided for convenience only, and their content is not incorporated by reference into this report, except where expressly stated otherwise. IHS Holding Limited is the parent company of the IHS Towers group of companies, which includes IHS Nigeria. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “IHS Towers” and “IHS” are used in this report for convenience to refer to one or more members of the IHS Towers group instead of identifying a particular entity or entities.
Reporting Uncertainties
Non-financial information contained in this report, including diesel consumption, is subject to measurement uncertainties resulting from limitations inherent in the nature and the methods used for determining such data. The selection by management of different but acceptable measurement methods, input data or assumptions may have resulted in materially different amounts or disclosures being reported. Many of the standards and metrics used in this report continue to evolve, as do practices regarding internal controls for such information. The precision of different measurement techniques may also vary. Calculations and statistics included in this report are in part dependent on the use of estimates and assumptions based on historical levels and projections and are therefore subject to change and should not be considered guarantees. Certain information contained herein is also based on third party statements or information; while we are not aware of any material issues with such information, except to the extent disclosed, we have not undertaken to independently verify the accuracy of such information or the reasonableness of assumptions, estimates, or methodologies used in its creation.
These factors, as well as any inaccuracies in third party information we use, including in estimates or assumptions, may cause results to differ materially and adversely from statements, estimates, and beliefs or expectations expressed by us or third parties, or underlying methodologies. Various aspects of this report are based on policies and procedures that we believe apply appropriate levels of support to address issues in scope and, while these statements may use words such as “ensure”, “prevent”, or similar language, such terms should not be considered to mean (as there can be no guarantee) that such efforts will be successful in all situations.
