BT

BT Group is one of Europe’s leading providers of telecommunications services, with almost 100,000 employees and operations in 24 countries.

The company has made inspiring progress on reducing its carbon footprint.  An energy efficiency drive was implemented in the mid-1980s and from this BT went on to set a target to reduce CO2 emissions by 25% and to purchase 10% of electricity from renewable sources by 2010.  Performance against these targets has been impressive.  By 2004, combined emissions from transport and energy use had been cut by more than 40%.  The company has recently signed a contract which will see almost all its energy needs met by wind, solar, wave, hydropower and combined heat and power.  Energy saving measures have resulted in cash savings of £119 million in energy costs since 1991.
