As of March 2026, Minimum.com has been acquired by Novisto - cemeting Novisto’s position as the most comprehensive, "all-in-one" sustainability platform, designed to serve as the single source of truth for global enterprises navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Built to manage emissions across telecoms infrastructure and services
Telecoms firms operate at scale - managing vast networks of energy-intensive infrastructure, much of it shared, leased, or vendor-run. Minimum gives structure to your most complex data.
Facts about telecoms firms and your environmental data:
Your footprint is distributed but interdependent, spanning thousands of assets, contracts, and control models
You rely on third parties and infrastructure providers with mixed data quality
Your emissions extend beyond on-site energy through embodied equipment, shared assets, and customer usage
You collect energy and operational data from dozens of systems with different cadences, owners, and formats
You’re reporting across jurisdictions and service lines, each with their own expectations and metrics
Your infrastructure is everywhere — and always changing
You need a platform that adapts to your asset base, contracts, and the partners you depend on.
Track emissions across assets, agreements, and geographies
Whether you're allocating shared tower emissions, reconciling regional reporting frameworks, or disclosing Scope 3 across a distributed vendor network, Minimum helps you build a footprint that reflects how your business actually works. Explore Minimum’s step-by-step features that will help you achieve accurate and timely data wherever you sit in the telecoms value chain.

Inventory mapping
You operate extensive, shared infrastructure with complex ownership models
- Highly distributed physical assets: you operate thousands of network sites across regions - from base stations to data centres - with ownership structures that span wholly owned, leased, and co-located assets.
- Evolving asset usage and commercial agreements: network sharing arrangements and shifting traffic volumes between operators introduce uncertainty in your usage-based allocation, complicating emissions attribution over time.
- Inconsistent levels of site-level data: different operational teams and service providers maintain different levels of access and visibility to infrastructure-level data, making it hard to capture a consistent view across your full footprint.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Model your footprint across shared, owned, and leased infrastructure: capture emissions by operational control, ownership share, or usage - supporting flexible boundaries across tower portfolios and network infrastructure.
- Track changes in asset use and site activity over time: reflect traffic patterns, contract changes, and shifting site relevance to maintain an accurate, dynamic inventory.
- Capture every detail of your infrastructure: from metro sites to rural towers and fibre routes - map data owners, contributors, and hierarchies across complex telecom networks.
Data ingestion
You collect data from dozens of fragmented, asynchronous systems
- Fragmented energy data across network assets: energy consumption data is scattered across utility bills, on-site smart meters, and facility management platforms - often at varying levels of resolution and completeness.
- Manual data gathering at smaller or shared sites: lower-tier infrastructure (e.g. remote towers) often lacks automated telemetry, meaning you rely on PDFs or informal processes for consumption tracking.
- Inconsistent file formats and submission timelines: your vendors and internal teams provide data in spreadsheets, invoices, or screenshots - with no standardisation across contributors or countries.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Ingest structured and unstructured data from any source: whether utility bills, site management portals, or PDFs from tower companies - we capture and clean it all.
- Unify fragmented inputs into a single system of record: automatically reconcile multiple formats and file types into a consistent, carbon-ready structure.
- Support low-frequency or ad hoc sources: configure ingestion for remote or legacy sites with irregular data availability, without compromising accuracy.
Calculations
Your emissions span highly variable electricity usage and complex Scope 3 categories
- High-volume, energy-intensive Scope 2 emissions: your data centres and network infrastructure are major electricity users, with highly variable grid mixes across geographies.
- Challenging Scope 3 calculations from suppliers and device life cycles: embodied emissions from equipment (e.g. routers, servers, handsets) and third-party services are often poorly documented.
- Complexity in applying the right methodologies: your operations cut across asset classes and regions, making it difficult to apply a single calculation approach or factor set.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Support Scope 2 flexibility by region and reporting type: calculate market- or location-based emissions with appropriate emissions factors per country or site.
- Structure complex Scope 3 logic: leverage flexible models for embodied emissions in equipment, construction, and outsourced service providers.
- Ensure audit-ready transparency at every step: track assumptions, source data, and calculation methods - all accessible through a transparent audit trail.
Reporting & insights
You need to disaggregate data while consolidating reporting across regions and asset types
- Reporting obligations differ across regions: you need to satisfy multiple jurisdictional requirements - from local regulators to EU CSRD or national ESG frameworks.
- Granular insight at operational and strategic levels: your site engineers want intensity metrics per tower or exchange, while sustainability leaders need visibility by region or service category.
- Increased demand for external transparency: your stakeholder - including investors and large B2B customers - expect transparency on services and infrastructure footprints.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Track emissions by asset, region, and business line: generate disaggregated views to support engineering teams, procurement leads, and strategy functions.
- Create custom intensity metrics aligned to your operations: from emissions per GB of data transmitted to per-site energy use benchmarks.
- Accelerate disclosures with structured, standardised exports: easily align with global frameworks like GHG Protocol, CDP, and telecom-specific metrics.
Integration
Your data must sync across facilities, IT systems, and telecom-specific platforms
- Siloed operational and back-office systems: your energy data sits in BMS or EMS tools, while procurement and finance data lives in ERPs - with little interoperability.
- Real-time and batch data coexist: your networks produce continuous telemetry, but activity data often depends on manual billing cycles.
- Cross-functional users require the same dataset: from network engineers to finance controllers, your entire team needs trustworthy carbon data.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Connect via APIs and flat file ingestion across platforms: handle modern and legacy systems used in telecom infrastructure and procurement.
- Support high-frequency and asynchronous data feeds: ingest SCADA, meter, and invoice data at whatever cadence your business requires.
- Distribute emissions data across your ecosystem: share clean, validated outputs into BI tools, ESG platforms, or service dashboards.
Turn fragmented data into structured, audit-ready insights
Your data lives in SCADA systems, emailed invoices, and legacy spreadsheets — at different cadences, under different owners. Minimum brings it together, validating and harmonising each source, so you can report with clarity and confidence.

Auditability
You need to explain complex emissions across technical and commercial environments
- Data lineage often obscured by external service providers: emissions data may originate from third-party tower operators or colocated data centres with limited transparency.
- Shared infrastructure complicates traceability: multiple users of a single site or system make it difficult to allocate emissions clearly.
- Audit preparation is time-consuming: your teams scramble to find assumptions, calculation methods, and input data buried across systems.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Trace every data point from source to disclosure: maintain a full audit trail even when inputs are provided by vendors or external operators.
- Clarify attribution in shared infrastructure scenarios: apply usage-based, contractual, or ownership models and make them reviewable.
- Consolidate supporting evidence in one platform: keep source files, notes, and calculation logs attached to the relevant records.
Project Management & Control
Collecting emissions data across your global estates is a coordination challenge
- Hundreds of contributors across business units and suppliers: gathering data spans facilities teams, tower operators, and shared service centres.
- Submission deadlines vary across reporting cycles: internal sustainability timelines need to align with finance, compliance, and external reporting dates.
- Little visibility into status or blockers: you often lack clarity on who is responsible for each submission, or what’s holding things up.
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Monitor data submission progress by site, vendor, or function: get instant insight into what’s complete, overdue, or blocked.
- Assign tasks and track actions in-platform: keep project owners and contributors aligned without relying on email.
- Send reminders and resolve issues early: spot risks and take action before timelines are compromised.
Collaboration & Engagement
Your footprint process relies on dozens of internal teams and external partners
- Data contributors often lack carbon expertise: you have lots of technical experts (e.g. engineers, energy analysts) but they aren’t all familiar with GHG accounting.
- Vendor engagement for Scope 3 data is uneven: from global infrastructure providers to regional suppliers, capabilities and data quality vary widely.
- Data submission is fragmented and non-repeatable: ad hoc processes and unclear responsibilities lead to delays and inconsistency
Minimum’s purpose-built solutions
- Provide user-friendly portals for internal and external submitters: designed for clarity, even for non-sustainability users.
- Collaborate directly inside the platform: assign, submit, review, and track without leaving the tool.
- Scale Scope 3 engagement through structured workflows: make supplier data collection repeatable, trackable, and transparent.
