ETNO response to the Commission’s public consultation on ‘’Designing mobile phones and tablets to be sustainable – ecodesign’’
European telecommunication companies have high ambitions to include sustainability and circular economy measures as essential core elements into their business.
Mobile phones and tablets are important parts of the business through which connectivity services become useable by customers. Here the telco industry needs to rely on the supply chain, and it has been requesting to its partners in the supply chain to include more sustainability features into their hardware design. This encompasses several aspects which include, inter alia, durability, longevity, and reparability, and which are also defined as objectives by the EC in its EU Circular Economy Action plan.
Market transparency is the first step to establish these sustainable design aspects in the industry. The leading companies Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, Telia Company and Vodafone are the founding members of the Eco Rating consortium. The ambition is to create a holistic methodology that combines the various aspects of the ecological performance into an easy to understand score plus sub-scores related to durability, reparability, recyclability as well as climate and resource efficiency.
The transparency we are creating with Eco Rating on mobile phone environmental performance is just a first step of a long journey. We aim to make this methodology an industry standard and we therefore propose that the European Union would be able to accept Eco Rating as an eco-label. Read more below.

Introducing the DIGITAL Europe Programme
The Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) is a new EU funding programme focused on bringing digital technology to businesses, citizens and public administrations. Digital technology and infrastructure have a critical role in our private lives and business environments. We rely on them to communicate, work, advance science and answer current environmental problems. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted not only how much we rely on our technology to be available to us, but also how important it is for Europe not to be dependent on systems and solutions coming from other regions of the world. Paving the way for achieving this goal is DIGITAL programme.
The Digital Europe Programme will provide strategic funding to answer these challenges, supporting projects in five key capacity areas: in supercomputing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced digital skills, and ensuring a wide use of digital technologies across the economy and society, including through Digital Innovation Hubs. With a planned overall budget of €7.5 billion (in current prices), it aims to accelerate the economic recovery and shape the digital transformation of Europe’s society and economy, bringing benefits to everyone, but in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises. Watch below!

At a time when telcos are busy delivering #5G and #FTTH networks in Europe, ETNO and @GSMAEurope express their worry that the current #OECD – #G20 tax framework would add burden on the investment capacity of the industry: bit.ly/2WeLhb6 #DigitalTax

On my way on stage

to talk about #AI. We want to promote innovation and trust in AI. To do so we need to control the use of AI in cases where fundamental values are at risk.

Favourable regulatory conditions for deployment and adoption of #5G, #fibre networks and #digital solutions are a critical factor of success also for Europe’s climate policy. The enabling potential of the ICT sector is key to net zero emissions: bit.ly/3r97pz4 #Fitfor55

If we are to enable a 5G vision, telcos want to raise the ambition: from #connectivity, to #DigitalSkills, #data and #IndustrialStrategy, the #ETNOBCG report goes into detail and publishes the latest facts and figures on EU’s #digital sector: bit.ly/3deOKf1
