ESG
Connected for impact – building the backbone of Europe’s digital future.
Building the Backbone of Europe’s Digital Future
ESG has long been part of how euNetworks grows. Today it’s embedded even more deeply – in our decisions, our partnerships and our values. We’re building infrastructure that’s not only scalable and intelligent, but sustainable at its core.
Carbon Reporting
Annual Carbon Statements Now Available
euNetworks’ annual carbon statements are now available to our customers.
These statements provide an estimate of the emissions associated with the services delivered during the calendar year, based on the best available operational data and current methodologies. Our goal is to help customers gain clearer visibility into the environmental impact of the services they procure from euNetworks.
Many organisations are currently consolidating sustainability data and preparing ESG disclosures. By providing Carbon Statements, we aim to support our customers’ reporting processes and contribute to greater transparency across supply chain emissions.
We Help Businesses Measure their Emissions to Meet ESG Goals
To support our customers in achieving their ESG and decarbonisation goals, we’ve developed innovative, data-driven tools. These tools offer emissions reporting on network construction projects and individual services.
The euNetworks Network Construction Carbon Tool
This tool assesses carbon emissions from network construction projects, offering transparency around greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for proposed new builds. It enables customers to grasp and accurately report the environmental impact of such projects, empowering adjustments to reduce their carbon footprint.
The euNetworks Carbon by Service Tool
This tool calculates the carbon emissions associated with each euNetworks service. It allows customers to report on the environmental impacts of their network services, to especially Scope 3 emissions - this from upstream or downstream supply chain - specifically the network connections owned and managed by euNetworks.
Our ESG Report
Our ESG Reports provide insight into our ESG journey to date. The 2025 Report offers an overview of implemented activities driving sustainability and establishing a foundation for sustainable practices across our business.
The 2025 Report delves deeper into specific initiatives aimed at decarbonising operations and reducing our carbon footprint while supporting stakeholders.
Our Environmental, Social and Governance & Sustainability approach
Sustainability and ESG are fundamental to our business and operational commitments. We prioritise delivering high-quality solutions while operating sustainably. Our decarbonisation roadmap sets rigorous targets to reduce our carbon footprint. We have set 1.5⁰C aligned science-based targets across Scopes 1,2 and 3, which have been validated by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). We have also committed to Net Zero by 2040.
Our roadmap involves measuring environmental and social key performance indicators (KPIs), forming the basis of our Sustainability Linked Loan. We align with established frameworks such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), modelling our reporting on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Biodiversity
At euNetworks, preserving biodiversity around our network is a priority. We carefully design routes considering the ecological impact of construction, whether on land, in forestry areas, or the sea. Partnering with various European charities, we support environmental preservation initiatives, fostering vital habitats for diverse species.
Host in Ireland
To elevate and uphold the ecological well-being of Ireland, euNetworks has actively supported Host in Ireland’s initiative ‘DC for Bees’. By planting over 2000 fruit orchards across the country, we contribute to creating vital green spaces in urban areas, fostering crucial habitats for diverse species.
EMC Munich
euNetworks has joined forces with EMC Munich in the ‘Racks4Roots’ initiative, contributing to tree planting efforts in the Bavarian forest. In 2022, 42 companies collaborated with Racks4Roots to plant over 11,700 trees.
South East Rivers Trust
euNetworks has partnered with South East Rivers Trust, taking part in ‘clean up’ activities to improve water quality and reduce river pollution. South East Rivers Trust works on various projects to reduce river pollution and conserve the chalk streams which are a vital part of river ecosystems.

Net Zero Commitment
We Joined 300 Global Businesses and are Committed to Net Zero Carbon by 2040
euNetworks is a proud signatory to the Climate Pledge, a commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2040. This initiative forms a cross-sector community dedicated to addressing the climate crisis and decarbonising the economy. The Climate Pledge calls for regular greenhouse gas emissions reporting and the implementation of decarbonisation strategies in line with the Paris Agreement, culminating in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040.
We are committed to the three core areas of the Climate Pledge.
Measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 on a regular basis.
