Covering all its operations, TIM Environmental Policy sets forth three basic commitments: protecting the environment, complying with legal requirements and organizational standards and the ongoing improvement of the company’s Environmental Management System (EMS) to enhance environmental performance. Furthermore, TIM is committed to a series of principles, worthy of note being waste management, efficient natural resource consumption, continuous improvement and the prevention of pollution.
With practices fully aligned with company standards, since 2010 the TIM EMS has had ISO 14.001 environmental certification for network management and operations in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Espírito Santo.
TIM’s asset park comprise more than 30 thousand Radio Base Stations (ERBs), with 7 thousand coming from the acquisition of Oi’s mobile assets, licensed by Anatel and in accordance with local regulations, such as urban and environmental licenses, when applicable. TIM has 152 base stations located in sensitive areas for biodiversity such as APAs and APPs, which represents less than 1% of the total number of base stations.
In its network, in 2022, TIM had 1,829 active biosites. Among their positive aspects, the biosites incorporate technological solutions without causing a visual impact on the landscape. Additionally the installation of the structure occupies less space.
To conduct its operations within the standards required by legislation and, mainly, to strengthen its environmental risk management processes, TIM has teams to license and monitor the compliance of the company’s sites, such as the ERBs, technical buildings and data centers.
