A manifesto for sustainable change

We’ve been a leader in climate action for more than 30 years, and sustainability is written right into our company manifesto. We aim to accelerate growth through technology that’s responsible, inclusive and sustainable.

Supporting greener ways of working

Our growing investment in full fibre broadband and 5G will help pave the way for lower-carbon ways of working.

Being part of a circular economy

We’re stepping up the repair, refurbishment and recycling of legacy technology, with the aim to be fully circular by 2030.

Decarbonising our business

100% of the electricity we use in our premises is generated by renewable sources, and we aim to convert most of our fleet to electric or zero-emission vehicles by 2030.

Helping you stay on target

Work with us to reduce emissions across your own business and supply chain. Our sustainable solutions let you operate at pace and scale while minimising your environmental impact.
