Our responsibility
We're always looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment.
A smaller carbon footprint
We were the first UK mobile company to be awarded the Carbon Trust Standard. From 2006 to 2008 we saved over 47,000 tonnes of CO2. That would fill The O2, eight times over. And since 2009 we've saved even more.
We're working with Vodafone on existing sites and future sites too. Cutting the impact of expanding our network has on the environment.
And we've already invested over £2.4 million in our shops, offices and network to help us reduce the energy we use and cut out carbon emissions.
We've also been working closely with our suppliers to find more energy efficient equipment. Plus lots of extra ways to save even more energy.
Sustainability report
We believe that if each of us takes small steps to improve the world around them, we have a significant collective impact.
Think Big. Planet
The whole range of environmental activities aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Both our own and our customers.
Think Big. People
We check all our policies to make sure that we're accessible to everyone. We're also investing in young people, challenging them to lead positive change in their community.
