Wildanet is an independent Cornish-based internet service provider, bringing high-speed broadband to homes, businesses and communities throughout Cornwall and Devon.
Wildanet employs over 170 staff and is investing £50million to build a brand new network to connect many areas of the county that are still without access to fast, reliable internet and creating many new jobs in the process.
Wildanet pride themselves on community and ethical practices. Due to the infrastructure and access challenges that come with providing the best fibre broadband to rural areas, the environmental impact of the organisations operations are of a high priority for future funding and growth.
Wildnet have made commitments to be a sustainable organisation promoting green growth whilst mitigating emissions where possible and achieve carbon neutrality. After investing in a company to generate a carbon footprint report, after the process they felt that the level of detail and accuracy was questionable.
It was difficult to understand and communicate it to stakeholders.
They needed answers and a robust reduction plan to meet their goals.
Carbon Sense were able to quickly and confidently understand the organisations operations, structure and activities. This led to breaking down their existing report, check accuracy of the data and upload correct data into our carbon dashboard software, helping to understand the carbon impact of key business activity and continue to drive down emissions throughout their supply chain. Carbon Sense were also able to quickly produce a PPN 06/21 compliant carbon reduction plan to help secure crucial funding.
In addition, Carbon Sense were able to re-baseline their emissions, confidently advise how Wildanet can achieve a carbon neutral status and offset legitimately by working with a local and national partners to invest in verified and meaningful removal projects.
