Sure says steps it’s taken over the past year have helped reduce its carbon footprint by 27% by reducing electricity use, improving cooling capacity, the installation of solar panels, and other infrastructure improvements.
The telco has published its first report on the businesses’ environmental impact, parterning with FutureTracker to document its carbon footprint.
It found that it performs strongly compared to UK providers in this area.
The company invested in a new uninterrupted power supply for the island’s network which reduced energy consumption by up to 30%, new coolers which have reduced energy consumption by 80% for almost all of the year and eliminated 1.8 tonnes of carbon emissions through solar generation.
Sure Group CEO Alistair Beak said: “Sustainability is an essential aspect of our business operations and The Green Connection is a clear signal of our intent to have a more sustainable future. Our island communities expect us to deliver, and this annual report is one way of shining a light on our proactive progress”.
Human Resources Director and Chair of Sure’s Green Team, Lucienne De La Mare added: “We aim to involve all employees to foster joint responsibility, develop a sustainability policy and targets, and evaluate our carbon footprint. It’s important to measure, manage, minimise, and benchmark our environmental impact and embed sustainability into the Sure DNA”.
