Why choose ethical broadband for business?

As businesses become increasingly reliant on technology to keep them connected, fast and reliable broadband is now more important than ever. However, before rushing to be connected, businesses must not lose sight of ethical broadband use. This could be an opportunity to help achieve business CSR and emission targets with ease, just by using ethical broadband.

By switching to Your Co-ops' ethical broadband service your business has another avenue to achieving Corporate Social Responsibility goals and carbon emission targets. The UK Government has set Net Zero targets for all SMEs by 2050, requiring a significant effort to strategically plan for a prosperous business' future with year-on-year emission reductions. No easy task for any UK business, which is why Your Co-op Business Solutions have made it easy to switch and start reducing 10kg of carbon emissions instantly.

Each year your business can save 120kg of its CO2 emissions, without spending time consulting or planning, it's free from fuss or fees. We simply make it easy to help businesses across the UK and even offer more carbon-reducing solutions to suit any business.

Every month Your Co-op business broadband customers help to fund climate projects as part of their bundles, to reduce up to 10kg of their monthly carbon footprint. A service that continues for as long as you're in contract, so a typical 24-month broadband contract will reduce 240kg of CO2 from the atmosphere.

We also plant trees throughout your contract, which will contribute to future decarbonisation when the trees mature in 10-20 years' time. Only the most carbon-efficient and appropriate trees are used to maximise the future benefit.
