BT's sustainability director leads a six-person team embedding sustainability across the product portfolio and partnering with business customers to reduce Scope 3 emissions.

IoT and AI offer future increases in carbon savings, with wholesale customers involved. Supplier engagement produced the largest impact by addressing supply-chain emissions rather than operational emissions. Revenues from carbon-saving connectivity and related products reached about £6bn. Offerings include Global Fabric and a NaaS model with Carbon Trust-validated methodology, aiming to reduce network electricity use by 79%.
