Sustainability
Our plan for a greener future is collaborative, always-on and driven by digital. We’re working towards net zero – and are helping our customers to do the same.
Sustainability – let’s get there together
We’re on the road to net zero, with the ambition of getting there by the end of March 2031 for our own operations and end of March 2041 for our full value chain. And we know that by joining customers and suppliers together on a shared sustainability journey, we’ll all get there faster.
We connect for good
Technology is ever-changing. We want to harness its power to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges – like reducing carbon emissions.
Our commitment
We’ve led on climate action for more than three decades. Since 2017 we’ve cut our operational carbon emissions by 52% and rolled out over 5,500 electric vehicles.
A trusted partner
We’ve been recognised as world leaders in sustainability by the CDP, EcoVadis and more.
Our sustainability commitment
Net zero by 2041
Since 2017, we’ve reduced the carbon emissions of our operations by 52% and have reduced carbon emissions by 25% in our supply chain. All our near-term and net zero targets have been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Reducing customer emissions
We’re committed to helping our customers reduce carbon emissions. There’s huge potential for the use of our networks, products and services to enable customers to cut their emissions through use of technologies, like full fibre broadband, mobile solutions and cloud computing.
Creating a circular business
Developing a circular economy is vital for achieving a net zero world By 2030, we’ll be a circular business, and our tech ecosystem (including suppliers and customers) will be circular by 2040. That means extending the life cycle of products by reshaping, refurbishing and recycling materials to keep them in use – and out of landfill – for longer.
