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.
Wildanet has become a certified B Corporation, recognising its work to prioritise sustainability, ethical practices and social responsibility.
The altnet’s journey to becoming a B Corp saw the inception of its B-23 initiative last year, in partnership with Cornwall Chamber of Commerce and LEAP.
The scheme initially brought together 23 Cornish businesses in 2023 to join Wildanet in working towards the certification. The initiative has won funding from Cornwall Council to run a second Cornish cohort of 20 businesses and it is planned to extend the programme to Devon.
Helen Wylde-Archibald, CEO of Wildanet, said: “This acknowledges our drive to bring broadband and digital connectivity services to the communities we serve as a sustainable business delivering wider benefits for society and our environment.”
