Every year, World Sustainability Day reminds us of the urgent need to rethink how we live, work, and innovate. It’s a day to celebrate progress, spotlight challenges, and recommit to building a future that’s not only connected but also conscious. At Genexis, sustainability isn’t a side note. It’s embedded in our mission to bring the world to everyone’s home, responsibly. So, let’s highlight two recent blogs that show how Genexis is driving a real impact on broadband sustainability!
Standardized energy labels: a game-changer for broadband sustainability?
This blog explores a bold idea: what if choosing broadband equipment was as simple—and as impactful—as checking an energy label? Genexis is promoting a standardized energy label for broadband devices, one that clearly communicates two key metrics:
- Absolute power consumption in a defined operational state
- Performance against the European Code of Conduct (CoC) allowance target
This label would empower operators and ISPs to make greener choices, simplify ESG integration, and encourage vendors to innovate on energy performance—not just features. Genexis, a proud CoC signatory since 2023, operated 25% below the CoC target across its total product volume shipped in 2024.
“A small shift in how we measure and communicate energy performance can drive major progress. Let’s take that step together.” – Olivier van Duuren, Sustainability Manager at Genexis
3 ways you’re driving carbon reduction with Genexis
The blog outlines three powerful ways Genexis helps reduce carbon emissions:
- Sustainable digitalization
Fiber-based networks save 2.8 kgCO₂e per home annually compared to legacy xDSL, making every fiber connection a step toward a cleaner future. - Energy transition
Genexis products consumed 25% less power than CoC targets in 2024, translating to 2.2 kgCO₂e savings per home per year. - Circular economy in action
In 2024, 54% of the plastic we used for our products was recycled. This means 0.2 kgCO₂e saved per home connected.
The message is clear: sustainability isn’t just a goal, it’s a shared responsibility.
Looking ahead
From earning the EcoVadis Gold Medal for the third consecutive year to publishing circularity reports for all new products, Genexis continues to lead by example. On World Sustainability Day, we invite our community to reflect, engage, and accelerate the journey toward a Net Zero society.
Because when sustainability is standard, every connection is a step toward lasting impact.
