Our sustainability commitments

We have an ambition to accelerate responsible, inclusive and sustainable technology — and that starts with what we’re doing to become a more sustainable business. By reducing our impact, we're reducing our impact on customers, helping them to accelerate their sustainability journey.

We’re building towards a circular business by March 2030, and a circular tech and telco ecosystem by March 2040.  And we're helping our customers avoid CO2e through our products and services.

To help us get there, we’ve been reducing our energy consumption through moderation of our networks, closing legacy networks and buildings. All while transitioning our fleet to electric or zero emission vehicles, which has reduced our emissions by 55% since 2017.

How we're driving sustainability

Building energy-efficient networks

We’re building more energy-efficient fixed and 4G/5G networks, while switching off our old legacy ones. Our 5G networks reduce energy consumption, helping both us and our customers to achieve sustainability targets.

Extending device lifespans

We're working hard to extend the lives of our customers’ devices. In FY24,  our EE repair service (approved by Apple, Samsung and Google) fixed 58,000 devices (up 94% on FY23).

Cutting emissions through circularity

We’ve set a bold ambition to go circular in our own business and beyond. We're closing the loop on circularity by reducing waste and enhancing opportunities to repair, refurbish and recycle, through our phone trade-in scheme and Device Lifecycle Management (DLM).

Cutting our customers’ carbon

We're working with both suppliers and customers to reduce emissions  — and since 2017, we've reduced them by 26%. We're cutting customer emissions even more through our full fibre rollout and and eSIMs. Plus, customers can measure, monitor and reduce their mobile carbon footprint through BT's Digital Carbon Calculator.
