At Sky, we’ve been working hard to reduce our environmental impact and use our voice to engage others since 2006. Sky Zero is our environmental impact programme, our company-wide effort to contribute to a low carbon economy and inspire positive change for the planet.
At Sky Business, we’re committed to playing our part in this initiative, and making a positive impact on our industry, our communities and the wider world. We’re transforming our business by designing tech with energy efficiency and recyclability in mind, minimising waste and supporting our operations with renewable energy.
Sustainable design
We design for energy efficiency, building products that are made to last. Once our customers have finished with their routers, set top boxes and tech products, we recondition and reuse them. And when they are no longer useful, we recycle them. All our packaging is 100% recyclable, responsibly sourced, and free from single-use plastics.
We offer products as a service - they are circular in their set up, delivering products built for longevity, and that maximise the use of the resources that have gone into making them. Longevity is key - we roll out regular software updates so all customers have the latest user interface and experience, reducing the need to update hardware. We are committed to ensuring our products are repairable and refurbishable so we can extend their use and drive reuse across our customer base.
Working with suppliers
In our wholesale business we aspire to partner with excellence - which extends to how we deal with suppliers. We’re working with our partners to help them reduce their own emissions in line with our transition to a low-carbon world.
This starts with understanding where emissions come from. We want our suppliers to collaborate with us on this by providing product-level data that identifies the carbon footprint of each connection. We’ve also asked our partners to publish their own emissions reduction plan, detailing key decarbonisation dates.
We’re passing on the lessons we learn along the way to our suppliers, partners and competitors, to speed up change in our industry. We have recently added wording into our supplier agreements to ensure that they are aligned with our environmental objectives and are committed to playing their part, alongside us.
Looking forward, we’re continuing to make long-term investments in energy efficiency, clean and renewable energy, and sustainable product design that we expect will help reduce our impact as we advance toward a low-carbon future.
