Sustainability

Our Approach

Doing business sustainably is a part of what 1&1 does every day. As a listed company with more than 16 million customers and ca. 3,300 employees, we aim to be a pioneer in this area as well.

It goes without saying that we act in accordance with social, economic, and environmental criteria along the entire value chain. We have positioned ourselves as a fair and reliable partner thanks to our good corporate governance. We aim to live up to this aspiration in our dealings with our customers, our employees, and our business partners alike.

Our Contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In 2015, the UN member states resolved a total of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) designed to make our planet a better place to live in by 2030. As one of Germany’s leading telecommunications providers, we want to contribute to achieving these goals, and our sustainability strategy focuses on the following SDGs in particular.

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Corporate Digital Responsibility – a key action area

As digitalization gathers speed, so our responsibility grows to ensure it happens in a way that is safe and accessible for everyone. We are building bridges to tomorrow’s digital future with our portfolio of high-performance broadband and mobile offerings and by building a 5G mobile network. In line with this, we see ourselves as having a particular digital responsibility.

We Take Digital Participation Extremely Seriously

1&1 wants to contribute actively to ensuring that nobody – regardless of their age, education, or origin – is left behind on the road to digitalization, and to give them the space and opportunity to roam the internet safely and confidently. Protecting our customer data and ensuring the reliability of our products are our top priorities.

Promoting Digital Literacy

Another critical success factor when it comes to the ongoing process of digitalization is to promote the skills needed to use modern technology and media. We use a number of programs and initiatives to increase IT expertise in society, and to educate young people and children in particular about how to use social networks safely and responsibly.
