Economic impact of full fibre
Insightful Hatch report on the impact of CityFibre's network.
Our planet
We’ve committed to being net zero operationally and across our value chain by 2030, and to 100% renewable energy across our network and offices in the same timeframe.
Minimising the environmental impact of our build means designing it in the least disruptive way possible.
We already use existing ducts and poles for over 50 per cent of the premises we connect and we’re working hard to drive that even higher. The less we need to dig, the faster we can build and the sooner everyone feels the benefit.
Achieving net zero requires commitment beyond our own company. This is because our supply chain contributes to the lion’s share of our greenhouse emissions.
We’re working with and helping our build partners to achieve lower emission construction. We’re also prioritising contract awards for those committed to – or already implementing – their own emission reduction plans.
Fibre only infrastructure uses significantly less energy than networks using copper. But this alone is not enough for us.
Once our networks are up and running, our state-of-the-art fibre exchanges are carefully designed to maximise the energy efficiency and lifespan of all our equipment, while giving us full control over recycling and waste reduction.

They're designed with the environment in mind and are built to outlast.
