The plan sets measurable targets for the reduction of CO2eq for the products and services Camusat provides to Orange.

US tariff policies are quite fluid and variable. This GlobalData report is intended to help clients understand the general impact, threats, and opportunities within the Technology and Telecom sector, even as implementation timelines and market-specific levies may change.

• The US tariffs have minimal direct impacts on the ASEAN enterprise telecom sector as businesses are mainly domestic.

• However, there could be moderate indirect impacts, especially from lower spending in several key sectors such as manufacturing.

The US government’s announcement on new tariffs last week has already shaken the global economy. Within a couple of days from the announcement, S&P 500 companies saw a total of $5 trillion loss in stock market value.
