Our Journey to Net Zero

1
A commitment to Net Zero

Through comprehensive CO2 emissions management, we’re committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and to measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions

As we strive toward our Net Zero targets for 2030, our vision is fully aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 9: to promote innovative and sustainable technology in the subsea infrastructure industry

Investing in technology

With each upgrade of our Ciena transponder technology we’ve pushed the limits of efficiency.

WaveLogic Ai brought a 67% reduction in power consumption per terabit while boosting capacity, and WaveLogic 5 Extreme achieved a further 48% reduction compared to its predecessor.

With the latest upgrade to WaveLogic 6 Extreme on our new AEC-1 fibre pair, we’re set to achieve an over 50% reduction in power consumption; pushing the boundaries of sustainability and performance even further.

Sustainable partnerships

More than 40% of our energy now comes from renewable sources, as we continue to collaborate with our partners to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030 in our operations, and drive sustainability forward together.

Sustainable Initiatives

A commitment to the people, customers, and communities we serve is at the heart of Aqua Comms’ ESG strategy. We will always operate with integrity, and strive to be a force for positive change.
