Afnic received a TopTech 2025 award in the Strategy & CSR category during the ceremony organized by L’Informaticien magazine, in recognition of its concrete and long-term commitment to digital responsibility.
This includes a 43% reduction in its carbon footprint since 2018, extended hardware lifecycles, responsible procurement practices, growing expertise in eco-design, and soon, its first comprehensive environmental assessment. All Afnic teams are actively supporting the association’s commitments, going well beyond regulatory requirements.
This award highlights one of Afnic’s core beliefs: performance and digital sustainability go hand in hand.
About Afnic
Afnic is the acronym for Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération, the French Network Information Centre. The registry has been appointed by the French government to manage domain names under the .fr Top Level Domain. Afnic also manages the .re (Reunion Island), .pm (Saint-Pierre and Miquelon), .tf (French Southern and Antarctic Territories), .wf (Wallis and Futuna) and .yt (Mayotte) French Overseas TLDs.
In addition to managing French TLDs, Afnic’s role is part of a wider public interest mission, which is to contribute on a daily basis, thanks to the efforts of its teams and its members, to a secure and stable internet, open to innovation and in which the French internet community plays a leading role. As part of that mission, Afnic, a non-profit organization, has committed to devoting 11% of its Revenues from managing .fr Top Level Domain to actions of general interest, in particular by transferring €1.3 million each year to the Afnic Foundation for Digital Solidarity.
Afnic is also the back-end registry for the companies as well as local and regional authorities that have chosen to have their own TLD, such as .paris, .bzh, .alsace, .corsica, .mma, .ovh, .leclerc and .sncf.
Established in 1997 and based in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Afnic currently has nearly 90 employees.
