Sustainability has become a crucial pillar guiding companies in just about every sector imaginable. As global concern about climate change and preserving the world’s natural resources continues to grow, companies are increasingly making the decision to adopt more sustainable practices to minimise their environmental impact. ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategies are vital to ensure that organisations can operate responsibly in these areas.

That’s why lyntia – as a leading provider of optical fibre infrastructure in Spain – has adopted a strong ESG policy. This commitment can be seen in our processes and practices, underpinned by certifications, all of which only serves to underline the significant role of technology in our transition to a more sustainable future.

ESG strategies. Sustainability and beyond

ESG strategies typically comprise a set of criteria that companies can use to manage their operations in a sustainable way. These strategies focus on three key areas:

• Environmental: managing natural resources, reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency and protecting the environment.
• Social: managing relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and communities, covering topics such as employment rights, diversity and inclusion.
• Governance: corporate structures, transparency, business ethics and regulatory compliance.

Adopting an ESG policy isn’t just beneficial for the environment and society, but can also improve a company’s reputation, attract investors and optimise financial performance in the long term.

Our commitment to sustainability

As a leading provider of optical fibre infrastructure in Spain, lyntia is working hard to reinforce our commitment to sustainability. ESG is a fundamental component of what we do, covering all aspects of our operations and decision-making. And our commitment isn’t just found in our practices and processes. We also undertake official certifications to confirm our adherence to the highest standards when it comes to sustainability. 

Environmental practices

Climate change represents one of the most significant and urgent challenges of our lifetime, affecting not just the planet’s natural ecosystems and biodiversity, but also the world’s economies and societies. For lyntia, understanding and taking steps to mitigate our impact on the environment is a priority we want to address responsibly and in a committed manner. As a company, we’ve introduced policies to reduce carbon emissions related to the operation of our optical fibre network. What’s more, our network operates on 100%-renewable energy. We’ve been calculating and reporting our carbon footprint for years now in order to track emissions in greater detail, further proof of our commitment to transparency and adopting cleaner and more efficient technologies.

Social impact

We can’t turn our back on the society we serve, so we foster a corporate culture that emphasises diversity, inclusion and respect for human rights. The wellbeing and satisfaction of our employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders is a strategic priority for lyntia. We ensure all our operations meet the highest employment standards and continuously work to improve working conditions throughout the entire value chain. 

lyntia is also actively involved in the communities in which we operate, supporting local projects and promoting education on all things technology and sustainability. 

Governance and transparency

In terms of governance, lyntia puts the focus on establishing a strong framework of ethical policies, practices and procedures to guide business decisions and strategies. We work hard to ensure all our operations are transparent and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.  This approach not only promotes transparency and accountability, but also guarantees we can stay on track with our sustainability goals. 

Future sustainability challenges

As the world faces up to growing environmental and social challenges, sustainability will only become an increasingly critical aspect for businesses. For lyntia, the challenge lies in always improving and adapting to the demands and needs of the market and society as a whole. We want to be an agent for change, a partner, so that companies across Spain can advance their digital and sustainable transformations. As such, it’s important we keep innovating in how we use technology, reducing our carbon footprint and improving the efficiency of our optical fibre network. As a company, we also need to adapt our ESG strategy to meet emerging regulations and expectations, ensuring our approach remains as relevant and effective in the future as it is today.
