At ROCTEL, our approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is rooted in over 25 years of experience designing, building, and managing networks and services for Mid-Market and Enterprise clients.
Sustainability, accountability, and forward-thinking planning are at the heart of how we work. Whether it’s reducing our environmental impact, fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, or upholding the highest standards of corporate governance, we believe in creating long-term value - for our clients, our people, and the communities we serve.
Collaborative, transparent, and future-focused - that’s the ROCTEL way.
Our mission is to sustainably empower your business to easily consume complex technologies as a service, while reducing your risk and cost, accelerating your businesses’ productivity with proactive management.
We have three specific short term sustainability goals:
Reduce our total energy consumption at our HQ in Dublin by 5% by June 2030.
Decrease greenhouse gas emissions associated with data centre operations by 100% by the end of 2026 through carbon offset programs.
ROCTEL’s goal is to become a carbon neutral company. We closely monitor our carbon footprint, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by December 2027 and become carbon negative by approximately 100 metric tonnes of Carbon per year through our ROCTEL forest and efforts to reduce power consumption, travel, and other factors.
At ROCTEL we are aware of our need to operate in a sustainable manner and are proud to say that we make every effort possible to be as green as we can, in every area of our business.
We use as little plastic as is possible, and re-use packaging 90% of the time. There has been considerable investment in our recycling centre on site in our Dublin office, which has led to more efficient waste disposal. This ensures a responsible and ecological handling of waste materials. We dispose of obsolete equipment safely.
We’re proud to share that ROCTEL has successfully exceeded its commitment to plant 10,000 trees, completing the initiative ahead of schedule in March 2025.
Building on this, in March 2026 we planted an additional 1,500 indigenous trees at St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth University, bringing our total to 11,500 trees planted across Ireland.
Indigenous trees play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, improving air and water quality, and creating habitats for wildlife. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, supporting biodiversity and healthier communities.
ROCTEL has embraced the vision of a “Circular Economy” to reduce waste and to foster sustainability. In addition to participating in the responsible provisioning and disposal of hardware from its key supplier Cisco, ROCTEL has appointed an “Environmental Sustainability Officer” to bring these principles to our customers and prospects and help measure our progress and keep our business on the right track.
