Arcep

Arcep is an independent administrative authority (IAA). Responsible for regulating the electronic communications, postal and press distribution sectors, Arcep is independent of economic players and political authorities. What are European regulators doing about the environmental impact of digital technology? Since 2020, at the instigation of Arcep, the European telecoms regulators, meeting within BEREC, have integrated the issues related to the environmental footprint of digital technology into their 2021-2025 strategy. 

 The "Sustainability" working group brings together experts from national authorities and the Commission and aims to raise awareness among European regulators, develop their expertise on the environmental impact of digital technology and identify good practices to act in line with environmental issues. BEREC is also the privileged forum for dialogue and coordination to ensure the development and sharing of good practices adapted to the reality of the sector and implementation in line with the European Union's environmental ambitions.
