During its 50th plenary meeting (10 March 2022), the BEREC Board of Regulators has approved the Draft BEREC Report on Sustainability: Assessing BEREC’s contribution to limiting the impact of the digital sector on the environment for public consultation.

This Draft Report on Sustainability provides an overview of the results of BEREC’s groundwork on ICT sustainability to assess and better understand the impact of the digital sector, including electronic communications networks and services, on the environment. It sets out an outline of BEREC’s approach to environmental sustainability of the sector.

This Draft report constitutes the first step: BEREC will continue to build up its knowledge on the important topic of sustainability to be able to contribute with its expertise in shaping the green and digital twin transition. Collaboration with relevant stakeholders will be of importance in this process, notably to share analysis and experiences related to ICT sustainability.

All stakeholders are invited to submit their inputs via EU survey portal (direct link - https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/PC_DraftReportSustainability) no later than 14 April 2022 (17:00 CET).
