euNetworks Secures Top Sustainability Rating with ‘A’ Grade in CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment
euNetworks Group Limited (“euNetworks”), a leading European critical bandwidth infrastructure provider, has achieved a significant milestone in its sustainability journey by earning an ‘A’ grade in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) 2024 Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA). The prestigious ‘A’ grade is the highest possible score awarded by the CDP and recognizes organizations that demonstrate exceptional leadership and best practices in driving environmental improvements across their supply chains. This achievement underscores euNetworks’ unwavering commitment to sustainability and its proactive efforts to reduce carbon emissions throughout its operations and value chain.
The CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment evaluates organizations based on several key criteria, including Risk Management, Governance & Business Strategy, Scope 3 emissions reduction, and the establishment of measurable targets. To secure the top grade, companies must excel across all categories, showcasing a fully integrated approach to addressing environmental challenges within their supply chains. euNetworks’ success in achieving this distinction highlights its robust strategy for engaging suppliers and fostering sustainable practices at every level of its operations.
A Commitment to Decarbonisation and Sustainability Leadership
This recognition marks a pivotal step in euNetworks’ ongoing dedication to sustainability. As a signatory to The Climate Pledge—a cross-sector initiative co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism—the company has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. This ambitious goal aligns with science-based targets designed to limit global warming to 1.5°C, covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions. By addressing Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain, euNetworks is taking decisive action to drive decarbonisation beyond its direct operations and into the broader ecosystem.
In addition to its supplier engagement initiatives, euNetworks has developed innovative tools to support sustainability efforts. The company’s award-winning Carbon By Service and Network Construction Carbon calculators enable customers to access detailed emissions reporting based on their use of euNetworks’ services and network projects. These tools empower businesses to make informed decisions about their carbon footprints and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Leadership Through Collaboration and Innovation

Sustainability is not just a priority for us—it is a core component of our business strategy. Engaging with our suppliers to address Scope 3 emissions is essential to ensuring we drive meaningful decarbonisation beyond our own operations.”
Trisolino emphasized the importance of collaboration in achieving environmental progress, adding: “True sustainability requires collective effort. By working closely with our suppliers, customers, and partners, we can create a ripple effect of positive change across the entire value chain. We will continue to build on the momentum we’ve gained through our sustainability initiatives to forge a greener, more sustainable future for everyone involved.”
