The Broadband Forum’s Fibre Access Network (FAN) Work Area has launched a project that will introduce energy-saving requirements for the industry to adhere to.
Fibrus has rolled out a fleet of electric vehicles after announcing that it has joined Business in the Community (BITC), which ensures members commit to managing their businesses in a sustainable way.
As the altnet looks to pass 300,000 premises, CEO Dominic Cairns claims that the electric vehicles will ensure the company remains responsible.
“Our teams cover extensive areas as they work to connect homes and businesses in the now rural parts of the UK. By electrifying our vehicles we are protecting everyone’s future," they said.
Fibrus aims to reduce carbon emissions and become a net zero organization by 2040 with all its vehicles switched to electric by 2025.
It has already established a paper free office environment, renewable energy supply to company premises and biodiversity projects.
Kieran Harding, Business in the Community NI MD said: “We aim to help and inspire communities to address three campaigning areas - their people, the planet and the place in which they operate.
"By working together to tackle social and environmental issues, businesses in membership with us can truly be a force for good in society."
