Community Fibre, London’s leading full fibre broadband provider, has been using Climate Essentials for several years, successfully integrating sustainability into its core values and achieving measurable impact.
The company has taken a proactive approach to sustainability, making it an important part of their operations and supply chain. Community Fibre adopted Climate Essentials in 2022 in order to kick-start their sustainability journey, and after recognising the growing importance of environmental accountability. Initially unfamiliar with carbon reporting and unsure where to begin, the team found Climate Essentials to be a user-friendly and insightful tool that enabled them to track emissions and identify areas for improvement. Community Fibre has been able to quickly gain momentum in their sustainability efforts, driven by strong leadership support and direct involvement from the CEO. This backing enabled the formation of a dedicated Green Team and helped embed sustainability into the company culture.
Through the use of Climate Essentials, Community Fibre uncovered opportunities to reduce waste and emissions, including working closely with suppliers to cut unnecessary packaging, transitioning to green energy across network infrastructure, and implementing circular practices such as refurbishing returned routers. They have even begun including sustainability clauses in supplier contracts, requiring partners to measure and report their carbon footprint. This data-driven and collaborative approach has not only improved operational efficiency but positioned Community Fibre ahead of investor expectations, making them more resilient in an increasingly sustainability-conscious market.
