Our infrastructure is powering the UK’s road to net zero. We’re investing in full fibre broadband and 5G networks that will pave the way for lower-carbon ways of life and work.

And our new green tech innovation platform fosters breakthrough technologies to cut carbon in the public sector. We’re partnering for change with suppliers, customers, peers, government agencies and others to inspire wider climate action and solutions. In the last year, we championed new coalitions, including the UK Electric Fleets Coalition that’s driving the transition to electric vehicles.
