Helping to make a better, more sustainable world through better communications

Our vision is to be dedicated to helping customers thrive in a changing world. This goes hand in hand with sustainable development, which aims to improve everyone's quality of life.

Communications is a key enabler to this; opening up opportunities for everyone to participate, benefit and contribute, whilst benefiting the environment through the innovative use of products and services and reducing consumption of finite resources.

Sailing

Gear up with BT Team Ellen


BT Team Ellen is gearing up and refitting for an exciting 2008-09 season of racing. Sebastien Josse will be racing the newly designed BT Open 60 in this year's Artemis Transat, beginning on May 11, followed by the non-stop round the world Vendee Globe race in November. The newly designed boat is being christened by Dame Ellen and BT's François Barrault on April 29 in London, on the river Thames. Media, customers and hosts are invited to tour the new boat.


Our vision is to be dedicated to helping customers thrive in a changing world. Doing this in a responsible way is what our corporate social responsibility (CSR) work is all about. Explore BT's 2007 sustainability report.

Our goal is to help people use communication to make a better world.
Many young people don't have the communication skills they need to achieve their goals.
Others have something to say, but no-one will listen to them.
