CSR & Sustainability
We bring our values to life through our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives in the community. We are committed to being a leader in safeguarding the health and safety of our employees and protecting the environment.
By connecting innovators through the rollout of high-speed fibre broadband all over Ireland, we’re creating opportunities for progress and advancing innovative solutions to address climate change. By championing equity and opportunity through equal access to the Internet, we are giving our future policy makers and disruptors the chance to create long-lasting solutions to the challenges of climate change.
We are always thinking about how we can improve the lives of our staff, the way we do business, interact with our end users, engage with our communities and protect the environment, so that we leave the world a better place than we found it. Here is a flavour of some of the initiatives we support in the community.
At NBI we believe that if you combine imagination with technology, you can solve almost any problem.
‘Imagine the Future’ NBI Schools Competition
FLYING CARS?
ROBOT TEACHERS?
SCHOOLS ON THE MOON?
Having high-speed fibre broadband will open up a world of possibility and we want students to tell us what that means to them through a piece of artwork. This exciting art, design and imagination competition is open to primary schools in the areas across Ireland where we’re rolling out high-speed fibre broadband.

Our commitment to continuous improvement
We were awarded six ISO certifications in 2021, after just 18 months in business. The standards focus on six key areas of the business that are recognised as the key drivers for excellence.

They underline the culture of continuous improvement that we live every day and highlight the dedication of our team from the top down to creating a caring culture that has a positive impact on people and the planet.
