Flex 🧡 climate

Flex is going green. YOU too? We're on the same page.

What are we doing for the climate?

Flex = renewable sources

We use wind farms in Wielkopolska to ensure that as much of the energy we need to provide telecom services as possible is covered by renewable sources.

Together, we're protecting Poland's forests

And these aren't just empty words. We're donating your unused data to protect Poland's forests, which have been with us for several decades. So they can grow for us and for future generations.

How does Flex care for the climate?

We started by introducing smaller,

FSC®-certified

SIM card packaging. We also have the plastic-free eSIM, and we offer refurbished devices.

We have no paper contracts or invoices

Absolutely nothing needs to be printed or signed. We've made sure that everything you need is available on the app.

Together we're protecting forests

How does it work?

Together we have planted and are protecting forests forever

Thanks for giving us the power! The power of data, of course. Together we've already planted 58,000 m² of forests! Now we support the protection of mature trees so that they can grow in peace. We are already protecting 20,000 m² of forests! Look at the map and see where they are:

Take care of REcycling

If you have an Orange Flex number, you can resell or recycle the smartphones lying around in your drawer. Plus we have refurbished smartphones from top brands at a great price.

More details about our neutrality

A carbon footprint includes emissions of various greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others. It is expressed in a universal unit of measurement – carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂), calculated for a specific organisation, service or product. The conversion from a given greenhouse gas to carbon dioxide equivalent is made on the basis of a factor called global warming potential. It compares the greenhouse gas in question to the same amount of carbon dioxide. For example, CO₂ has a global warming potential of 1, while methane has a global warming potential of 28 (over a 100-year time horizon); therefore, for every tonne of methane emitted, there is the equivalent of 28 tonnes of CO₂.

Renewable energy sources are those that quickly, naturally replenish themselves. Using them does not deplete the Earth's resources, such as fossil fuels. The most important ones are wind, solar and water power (rivers and seas), as well as geothermal energy. Production of energy from these renewable sources does not cause direct emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants into the atmosphere. Of course, you also need to manufacture machinery and equipment (turbines, panels), deliver them to the site of use and install them properly, which generates a certain carbon footprint. Per unit of produced energy, this is close to zero – many times smaller than for energy production based on fossil fuels (e.g. coal, gas). Therefore, it can be said that renewable energy is practically pollution-free. There are no perfect energy sources, but renewable energy sources are as close it gets! Orange Polska is committed to long-term contracting of renewable energy from specific sources in Poland (through PPAs, i.e. Power Purchase Agreements). Already, around 9% of the energy needs of Orange Polska are met by wind – two wind farms, built by WPD in Wielkopolska (near Jarocin and Krotoszyn) serve our needs. Importantly, all the energy necessary to provide Orange Flex services already comes from renewable energy sources.
Detailed information about the share of renewable energy sources in the energy structure of Orange Polska can be found in our reports available here.

At Orange Flex, we made sure that our SIM Flex card has paper packaging. This FSC® Mix logo confirms that our packaging is made of material sourced from well-managed FSC®-certified forests, as well as recycled materials and other controlled sources. By using products with this logo, you help take care of forests in Poland and around the world. Also, the ink we use for printing is plant-based, which further helps us reduce our impact on the environment.
