Environmental, social and governance policy
(ESG Policy)

 

1. Introduction & Objectives

We believe that technology enables connecting countries, uniting cities, linking businesses, and bringing people closer. Our goal is to deploy networks that connect us to the future, driving, facilitating, and protecting business communications through fiber optic networks, satellite services, and co-location services in Spain.

 

At Lyntia Networks, we are firmly committed to the principles of ESG, consolidating our vision of transforming the future. This commitment focuses not only on technological advancement but also on maintaining territorial cohesion, improving social well-being, and promoting a competitive economy. Lyntia Networks embraces its corporate responsibility by adopting practices that not only optimize financial performance but also contribute significantly to social and environmental progress.

 

This ESG policy outlines the fundamental principles and actions that demonstrate Lyntia’s commitment to developing an ethical and responsible business concerning environmental, social, and governance aspects.

 

2. Our Principles

 

Integrity

Integrity is essential for the success of our business. All employees, executives, and stakeholders interested in working with Lyntia must adhere to and comply with our Ethical Code.

 

Neutrality

Lyntia is a neutral operator that provides wholesale services to operators and utilities. We believe in network neutrality as a fundamental pillar for building a connected business and bringing people together, avoiding conflicts of interest, and ensuring good governance.

 

Risk Management and Responsibility

Proactivity, transparency, and risk management are our ways of demonstrating responsibility.

 

3. Our Actions & Commitment

To materialize our ESG vision, we have established a strategic Working Group that encompasses all areas of the company: Human Resources, Communication, Legal, Financial, Procurement, Technology, Commercial, and Marketing. This team, rigorously supervised by the Executive Committee and the Board of Shareholders, is responsible for developing and executing the ESG plan, considering sustainable development and the well-being of people as key to Lyntia’s business success.

 

We have defined the foundations of our commitment through internal and external analyses to identify and prioritize the most relevant aspects for our organization. From these analyses, we have identified the most significant initiatives with a substantial impact on ESG matters. Additionally, we are committed to regularly reviewing our materiality matrix to reflect the dynamism of society and its key players.

 

Environment

4. Revision

We are determined to fulfill these voluntary commitments and, therefore, have mechanisms in place to ensure their development. The ESG Working Group reports to the Management Committee monthly on progress in ESG matters to ensure compliance and implementation of agreed-upon actions. Additionally, Lyntia’s ESG responsible personnel regularly inform the Board of Directors and its ESG experts of all relevant indicators in ESG matters to report and inform about any progress in our ambition.
