Digicel is using Bermuda as a testing ground for electric and hybrid vehicles, according to the telecommunication firm’s environment, social and governance report for 2025.

The company said it was testing the alternative vehicles with the view to putting them into service more widely across their markets.

It has also reduced the number of vehicles by 134, across Bermuda and the Caribbean, and plans to cut 100 more next year.

“As a provider of critical national infrastructure in 25 markets across the Caribbean, Atlantic, Central and South America, and with customers worldwide relying on our services, we understand that our sustainability responsibility must be as global as our supply chain and that fundamentally it starts with us,” Digicel said. “So we are making moves on a number of fronts.”

In education, they achieved 100 per cent completion of their Global Data Protection and Privacy Training, ensuring every employee understands their responsibilities in safeguarding personal data.

“Building on the success of market-specific training last year, we completed training for Bermuda, with the arrival of the enforcement of the Personal Information Privacy Act,” Digicel said. “Privacy awareness also reached new heights during Data Privacy Week, which saw record participation across our organisation through engaging activities such as interactive games and quizzes.”

Digicel also introduced a comprehensive artificial intelligence governance framework, to ensure oversight and accountability across the AI life cycle.

Commenting on the report, Digicel’s group chief executive officer, Marcelo Cataldo, said: “It has been a year of bold decisions and deliberate actions for Digicel with a new strategy focused on long-term sustainability, a simplification of our operating model and a commitment to the right culture with our connecting and empowering vision at the centre of everything we do.”

Mr Cataldo said Digicel’s network was at the heart of family, business, social and entertainment life.

“We are right there with our customers in every moment,” Mr Cataldo said. “That is a powerful privilege.”
