Each year the emissions that our customers avoid emitting into the atmosphere thanks to the use of our services, exceed the amount of emissions generated by Fastweb and by all related activities to produce them: in 2022 alone, we have prevented our customers from emitting more than 266,630 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Offers that allow our customers to reduce their environmental impact, for example by reducing electricity consumption, paper use, travel by private or public transport, are identified with the "Fastweb for Sustainability" label, developed together with Legambiente, which has verified and validated the calculation methodology adopted and confirmed the environmental benefits indicated for each product.

The methodological note was reviewed and approved by Legambiente.
