Swisscom
Swisscom is Switzerland's leading telecoms provider, with 5,5 million mobile customers and around 1.8 million broadband connections. In the first three quarters of 2009, the company's 19,704 employees (full time equivalents) generated revenues of CHF 8,9 billion. Swisscom has a presence throughout Switzerland and offers a full range of products and services for mobile, landline and IP-based voice and data communication. Massive investments in network infrastructure ensure that this will remain the case in the future. Since the launch of Bluewin TV, customers too have become increasingly aware of the trend towards multimedia. Swisscom is active in one of the most attractive broadband markets in Europe via the Italian provider Fastweb. Swisscom also offers services for IT infrastructure outsourcing as well as the management of communications infrastructures.
“Environmentally conscious management and social responsibility are firmly rooted in Swisscom’s corporate strategy. Swisscom has been operating a systematic environmental management system for eleven years and was the world’s first telecommunications company to be certified to the ISO 14001 environmental standard. Swisscom treats the environment and its resources with respect and continuously improves its energy efficiency. We are thrilled to participate in this consortium and to discover network architecture and operations breakthroughs as well as new usage of technologies which would drastically enhance ICT energy efficiency.”
