Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Fibrus, we are dedicated to building a sustainable future for our people, communities, and the environment. Our mission is to deliver Full Fibre broadband to digitally underserved areas across Northern Ireland and Great Britain, while ensuring our network is as clean and green as possible.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through initiatives such as using 100% renewable electricity, transitioning to electric vehicles, and implementing energy-efficient practices across our operations. Our new Carbon Reduction Plan further strengthens this commitment by setting clear targets and actions to drive measurable progress. By working together, we aim to create lasting positive change and contribute to a more sustainable world.

Safety is paramount

At Fibrus, nothing is more important than keeping our people and partners safe. Our Life Saving Rules set out the simple, non-negotiable standards that protect everyone working with us. They focus on the most critical risks in our industry – such as working at height, safe digging, and utility safety – where following the right steps makes all the difference.

By living these rules every day, we can prevent serious incidents, safeguard our teams and communities, and make sure everyone goes home safe.

Sustainability Goals:

Net-Zero

We’re stiving to be a Net-Zero company by 2040.

What does a Green Network mean?

Full Fibre

Full Fibre network cables have some definite advantages over copper cables, including greater bandwidth, faster speeds, longer distances, and better reliability. Unlike copper broadband, fibre uses sustainable materials, leaves a smaller carbon footprint, and reduces waste and pollution.

How do we use Greener Energy?

We are proud to power our network and head office with 100% green electricity. In 2025, we received our REGO certificate from SSE, confirming that the electricity used by Fibrus in Northern Ireland is sourced from the Bann road Solar PV farm.

We are currently in the process of enhancing our sustainability efforts by installing solar panels at our Dargan office in Belfast.

What steps are we taking to grow a Green Fleet?

We are actively working to decarbonise our fleet, introducing cleaner, more sustainable vehicles as part of our journey to net zero.

For all colleagues with company EVs, we provide home charging points. We also have lightning quick EV chargers at our office in Belfast.

What communities do we serve?

Our Fibrus Charity Committee supports a chosen charity each year, raising vital funds and awareness for organisations making a real difference in local communities.

Fibrus Play it Forward provides funding of up to £1,000 to support grassroots sports in across Northern Ireland and Cumbria.

Promoting a Sustainability Mindset

Employees and partners are encouraged to take part in Carbon Literacy Training to learn how their actions affect the environment and how to make more sustainable choices.

We’re developing a pollinator initiative focused on restoring and creating habitats, involving the community, and raising awareness to help protect local ecosystems.

Exploring the Sustainability Supply Chain

Fibrus poles are sourced from sustainable forests and our pole suppliers work with local timber harvester firms to ensure the trees that are felled cause minimum damage to the forest and surrounding environment.
