How switching mobile networks can hit your business sustainability targets

If you’re a business with sustainability targets, you don’t need us to tell you that hitting them isn’t easy.

Most of you probably have measures in place. Carbon footprint calculations, waste reductions, net-zero goals… you get the gist.

But have you thought about how your mobile network helps – or hinders – reaching your business sustainability goals? 

If not, it’s time to change that. Read on to learn how a simple network switch can instantly make a positive impact on your environmental targets.

The environmental impact of mobile networks 🌍

Mobile networks, big ones especially, generally go under the radar when it comes to sustainability. But they shouldn’t. 

Running a mobile network isn’t exactly light on the planet. Energy-guzzling data centres, endless masts and sprawling infrastructure all add up to a hefty carbon footprint. 

Then there’s the problem of e-waste. Endless devices being discarded as big networks push upgrades and encourage you to buy the latest tech.

Not all mobile networks are created equal. Some actively reduce their customers’ environmental impact (like Honest), while others do the opposite.

If your network isn't pulling its weight when it comes to the environment, it's contributing to the problem. On the flip side, being with a network that shrinks your carbon footprint makes you part of the solution.

Your network’s role in supporting sustainability goals 🤝

Rather than be part of the climate change problem, your mobile network can be part of the solution. 

If partnering your business with sustainable suppliers is already a priority, your mobile network is no exception. 

Switching to a network that puts sustainability first is a simple way to reduce your carbon footprint – without costing you any extra time or money. 

At Honest, we remove double the carbon of every SIM, twice over. So you’re reducing your carbon footprint with every call, tap and text – without lifting a finger 💁

The benefits of switching networks for your business 🙌

Switching mobile networks might seem a minor change, but the benefits can be huge. 

☁️ Reduced carbon emissions. By switching to a provider that uses carbon removal processes energy and prioritises sustainability, you can lower your own carbon footprint. Simple.

📱 Eco-friendly devices. Choose a network that encourages device recycling, reusing, and eco-friendly tech.

👀 Tangible impact. With Honest, you can see the impact your business has. The hub shows you how much carbon has been removed or how many trees have been planted—without you lifting a finger.

An Honest example 🚀

Not convinced? Vision Redbridge might change your mind. 

As a registered charity, Vision strives to improve sustainable leisure and cultural services. 

But two years ago, their Head of Customer Support was spending more time sorting their long, confusing mobile contracts with Vodafone than doing good for the community.

So they switched to Honest.

Now Vision easily tracks how much carbon their SIMs are removing from the atmosphere, while also enjoying simpler SIM management and responsive customer support.

It’s not just the planet Vision is saving with their switch. “The hub gives us a real, holistic oversight of everything that’s happening on our mobile network. The amount of time it’s saved us has been huge.”

Small switch, big impact 💥

Hitting your sustainability targets doesn’t have to mean completely overhauling your entire business. 

It can start with taking small steps towards hitting bigger goals. Steps like switching mobile networks for your team.

By switching to a provider that’s serious about sustainability (like Honest 👋), you’re not just cutting carbon, you’re making a real difference without lifting a finger.
