We started measuring our carbon footprint in the UK in 1996 and have already reduced it by 58%. Our challenge now is to achieve an 80% reduction in CO2 intensity world-wide by 2020.
BT does not plan to buy large scale offsets in order to become carbon neutral, we intend to reduce our footprint in other proactive ways. The key areas we are focusing on are our network, data centres, estate, travel and fleet.
