Our focus

How our business makes a difference every day
- Supporting regions that matter – We operate in the global lease aggregation market, with a focus on telecom sites across Europe and Latin America. In doing so, we help strengthen infrastructure that delivers tangible economic and social benefits in these regions.
- Up-front payouts that change lives – TIP provides landowners with large, one-time payments for mobile site leases. Many use these funds to improve their quality of life – from covering medical expenses to paying for education for themselves and their families.
- A business model with a low footprint – By acquiring triple net lease agreements, TIP operates with a very modest carbon footprint. Our tenants – leading telecom operators and Towercos – are firmly committed to sustainability and continually work to make their sites more energy efficient.
- Empowering communities – Some of our partners are local sports clubs or charities, who reinvest the funds to upgrade facilities or support their missions. Their stories highlight the broader positive impact of TIP’s work.
TIP always strives to be…
A Good Employer
- We successfully rolled out our new HR system to all employees in 2024. All employees now use this fully GDPR-compliant system to book leave and record absences. Additionally, the system runs surveys, manages performance, and serves as a communication tool to boost employee engagement. The new HR system provides us with reliable data, enabling us to easily identify skills gaps, pay gaps, absenteeism, and differences in benefit packages.
- We launched the annual employee satisfaction survey (carried out by a third party) and diversity surveys in 2024, with an initial 75% response rate and overall engagement score of 4.25 out of 5. These results provide a solid foundation for further enhancing employee engagement and driving organisational success.
- We now use our HR system to conduct annual performance reviews with each employee, utilizing the objective setting and rating system we recently implemented.
- We continue to ensure that the rewards and benefits our people receive, including those related to healthcare, life assurance, and income replacement, are attractive and significantly exceed the minimum mandated levels for the countries in which we operate.
A Good, Well-Governed Business
- Compliance and ethics – All employees complete quarterly online training in areas such as business conduct, whistleblowing, data protection, cybersecurity, and DEI. Training is available in multiple languages to ensure global reach.
- TIP University – Our learning platform enhances induction training for Investment & Development Managers, developing negotiation and investment skills. New hires also receive training directly from our CEO and senior leaders.
- Code of Conduct – Each year, employees reaffirm their commitment to TIP’s Code of Conduct, which establishes high ethical standards and undergoes annual review to ensure its relevance and accuracy.
- Cybersecurity – We are strengthening our data protection policies and have begun the ISO 27001 certification process. This ensures best-in-class protection across technology, people, and processes.
- Whistleblowing – TIP maintains strict confidentiality standards. Employees can raise concerns safely through dedicated reporting processes, supported by training and an anonymous hotline tool.
An Ethical Corporate Citizen That Makes A Positive Difference
- Supporting tenants’ net-zero goals – We help tenants reduce emissions on their sites by providing space for solar panels, turbines, and batteries. We continue to explore new ways to reduce reliance on diesel generators and create additional value by supporting tenants on their path to net zero.
- Transparent governance and transparency – Following expert recommendations, we have established stakeholder engagement processes, ESG board oversight, and environmental policies to strengthen sustainability, ensure compliance, and promote accountability.
- Proactive risk management – Our ESG risk assessments now explicitly address transition risks and DEI topics, helping us anticipate challenges, foster inclusivity, and stay aligned with our long-term goals.
- Recognized progress – In September 2024, our GRESB score increased further from our strong inaugural submission in 2023 – an independent endorsement of our growing ESG performance.
But there is a lot more we want to do
ESG Rating
We will aim to increase our ESG GRESB score even further for our next year of submission, by:
- Increasing our Management score;
- Increasing our Risk Management section, to the benchmark group average as a minimum; and
- By improving risk assessments and governance processes.
Our Commitment to Net Zero
We are committed to becoming a net zero business by 2050, aligning our strategy with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI), which provides a rigorous framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the latest climate science. As part of this commitment, we are using the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Tool, through which TIP pledges to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2050, using 2024 as the base year.
To support this long-term ambition, we have set the following interim targets to be achieved by 2030:
- Renewable Energy: At least 25% of our total energy consumption will come from renewable sources.
- Scope 1 and 2 Emissions: We will reduce our direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25% compared to our 2024 baseline.
- Scope 3 Emissions: We will cut emissions from business travel (Scope 3) by at least 25% relative to our 2024 baseline.
Waste Reduction
We will implement a zero-waste policy by 2030, focusing on recycling and reducing electronic waste through sustainable disposal practices. We will achieve this by working with the office space supplier we rent from and our IT services provider.
To support this long-term ambition, we have set the following interim targets to be achieved by 2030:
Tenant Collaboration for Carbon Reduction
We will proactively work with the tenants of our sites to assist them in reducing carbon emissions on the cell sites they lease from us. Where possible, this will include renting them more additional space so that they can install solar panels, turbines, or batteries.
Community Engagement
We will complete our charity partner and community project set up for each office by end 2026. They will work for this project for at least one day every year, with each office committed to a 50% minimum completion rate by the end 2026.
Employee Wellbeing
Each of our teams are to set wellbeing related goals for their country; and by 2027, we will provide all employees with access to comprehensive wellbeing resources, including mental health support (such as confidential counselling services) to support these goals.
Employee Engagement
We will maintain our engagement survey response rate above 60% and our eNPS at 20+. We will continue to build on this success by fostering a supportive and dynamic work environment, ensuring our team feels valued and motivated.
Enhancing Professional Development
Through increased training programs (including sessions moderated by expert facilitators, in addition to software-based training) we will continue to attract and retain the most qualified professionals and achieve better results for our global clients. This includes a commitment to continue developing accessibility. “TIP University” – our internal learning portal.
Compliance Training
By 2026, we will increase our compliance module programme and our completion rate to a minimum of 75% globally, by implementing quarterly reviews and stricter monitoring.
Evolving Policies
We will review and update all our internal policies before 2026, so that they accord with best practice and are culturally and legally aligned to each jurisdiction we work in. Thereafter we will review them annually.
Data Privacy and Security
We will achieve ISO 27001 certification for information security management by end 2026; and introduce specific training for our managers by 2026 to ensure they continue to keep employee data secure.
External Compliance Reviews
From 2026, we will conduct biennial external compliance reviews with suitable external consultancies to verify that TIP is materially complying with relevant labour, data protection, and corporate regulations in the jurisdictions it operates in, aligning these reviews with either ISO 27001 standards or equivalent.
Digital Accessibility
From 2026, TIP will ensure that all our digital platforms that our employees regularly use adhere to the standards W3C sets for digital accessibility.
