Through our climate impact partners
Ecologi, we support carbon reduction projects around the world.
We have calculated the average emissions associated with each of our services, and for every service we fund carbon reduction that is worth more than the average emissions of those services (broadband and mobile) for customers.
A customer with Your Co-op Broadband, Mobile and SIM can collectively reduce their yearly carbon footprint by up to 144kg and action 2 trees planted per year.
A business can reduce their carbon footprint on a large scale, for instance a 50-person business each using our Business Solutions products will count for 50 individual carbon reductions at 10kg each month. This equates to 500kg of CO2e reduced.
